Vitamin D – known as the “sunshine vitamin” because it is manufactured by ultraviolet rays on the skin is an important vitamin for supporting the immune system. It regulates inflammatory processes by influencing the transcription of immune-response genes in macrophages, T cells, and dendritic cells (3). In Covid-19, Vitamin D revealed to increase neutrophil and lymphocyte counts, decreased inflammatory marker CRP, and altered the activity of B cells to improve recovery time (4).

Zinc – is an essential mineral with an important role in immune function. When taken during the common cold, it can reduce the duration of the infection (5). It is thought to act by stopping the virus from replicating in the body and important for immune cell function (6,7).

Quercetin – is found in many fruits, vegetables and grains. It is one of the most abundant antioxidants in the diet and can enhance the immune system. Research suggests that quercetin can reduce the infectivity of viruses and block viral replication (8). It also helps to reduce inflammation therefore reducing the risk of developing chronic diseases (9). Furthermore, quercetin can help alleviate allergies by inhibiting histamine release from mast cells (10).

Copper – is an essential trace mineral that helps you make red blood cells by helping utilize iron in your body.
