Nutritional Supplements Can Provide Immune Support During Coronavirus

By Susan Tanner, MD – complete article written originally for and found at SinusitisWellness.com.

At this time in the current COVID-19 health crisis, schools, retail stores, gyms, businesses, restaurants, and community gathering places are still very much closed, but online supplement stores and health marketplaces are definitely open for business and marketing like gangbusters to scared consumers. Many supplements known for their immune-boosting effects, like liposomal Vitamin C, Zinc, and Quercetin are even almost impossible to find right now as a result. And, while all medical professionals across-the-board agree, myself included, that there are scientifically-backed nutritional approaches to support a balanced immune system, protect against COVID-19, and mediate symptoms, recommendations as to which nutritional supplements may or may not work vary greatly.

Part of the discrepancy in recommendations can be attributed to the fact that this virus is so new to humans. Thus, we are writing our best practices as we actively treat and study patients. But, the other side of the coin comes from the complicated nature of the cytokine storm ignited by COVID-19 and the very understandable fear of this unfamiliar and invisible threat. That is why I thought it might be helpful to discuss in greater depth some of the supplements and treatment approaches that I have recommended in previous articles and explain why they help, as well as explain a few additional practices that will benefit your overall health during this time of greater stress, isolation, and viral exposure.
