Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), considered as a pandemic, has become an important threat to the health systems and economies of countries. Currently, there is no drug that can precisely prevent or treat this virus outbreak. Therefore, it is important to have a healthy immune system to prevent and manage the disease. Vitamins and minerals are important nutrients that play an active role in creating a healthy immune response and increasing the body's resistance to infections. Vitamins and minerals have various roles in the immune system regulation such as ensuring the development and differentiation of macrophages, neutrophils and natural killer cells and regulation of T and B lymphocyte response. The potential role of these vitamins and minerals in the COVID-19 pandemic has begun to be widely discussed both in the literature and in the media. Therefore, in this review the role of vitamins and minerals in viral infections was investigated with a focus on COVID-19.
