The fact is scientists are still undecided about whether multivitamins are effective. Some studies suggest multis protect against premature death. Others show they offer no benefit. Either way, food first is always the best prescription for needed nutrients. Nature packages vitamins and minerals in perfect combinations and benefits our bodies with yet-to-be-discovered nutrients, too. Dietary supplements are intended to supplement the diet, not replace it.

Vitamin C could reduce our risk of cancer, heart disease, and the common cold, but not eliminate it. However, experts say most of us get plenty of “C” from food. Plus, our bodies can’t absorb the extra doses we get from supplements, which means most of the vitamins we take just go right through us. So, you might consider skipping the supplements and eat high-C produce, like citrus, broccoli, and strawberries instead.

Nutritional deficiencies of calcium, vitamin C, vitamin D, folate, and zinc in the body can result in compromised immunity. The association of severe COVID-19 with inflammatory conditions and the weakened immune system suggests that the administration of supplements along with a balanced diet can help to provide defense against the virus. Being a potent immunomodulator, vitamin C can reduce or prevent the severity of infection caused by the coronavirus. Stimulating the generation of antimicrobial peptides such as cathelicidins and defensins, Vitamin D supplements can bolster innate immune responses against the virus. Besides, zinc supplements can help manage respiratory infections in children and reduce infection that could lead to pneumonia during severe cases of COVID-19. Thus, supplements can ensure help strengthen immune responses and support the treatment against the coronavirus to a certain extent. However, no research studies demonstrate the effectiveness of supplements to curb the infection caused by SARS-CoV-2.

The word “vitamine” was coined by a Polish biochemist named Casimir Funk in 1920.
It comes from the Latin word “vita” meaning life, and “amine” because scientists originally thought they contained amino acids. The “e” was later dropped. Vitamins are, well, vital for people in converting food to energy, and vitamin deficiencies can result in diseases like scurvy and rickets.
