Abstract

Background: Angiotensin-converting enzyme II or ACE2 is an integral membrane protein present on many types of cells, including vascular endothelial cells and lung alveolar epithelial cells. This receptor serves as the entry point for SARS-coronaviruses (SARS-CoVs), including a novel coronavirus 2019-nCoV. Limited availability of these receptors can thwart cellular entry of this virus.

Global impact of COVID-19 pandemic

Over 70 million cases of COVID-19 had been confirmed worldwide by mid-December 2020,
and the disease had claimed more than 1.6 million lives. According to a joint statement
issued on 13 October 2020 by ILO, FAO, IFAD and WHO “the COVID-19 pandemic has led to
a dramatic loss of human life worldwide and presents an unprecedented challenge to public
health, food systems and the world of work. The economic and social disruption caused by
the pandemic is devastating: tens of millions of people are at risk of falling into extreme
poverty, while the number of undernourished people, currently estimated at nearly 690
million, could increase to over 800 million by the end the year”. 1  In addition, the wide socio-
economic impact of this pandemic has threatened the sustainability of all sectors of society
all over the globe, impacting mental health, the food supply, medical services, education,
and energy, among many other aspects. 2
This statement highlights the important, but often overlooked, fact that healthy nutrition
supplying a full spectrum of micronutrients is the foundation of our immune system function
and provides effective protection against infections, including COVID-19.

Abstract

Infectious diseases have become a growing health problem worldwide. Thus, the search for novel non-toxic and effective approaches with immune system- enhancing effects, so it can resist and fight these infections is still sought after. It has been firmly established that both nutrition and the availability of specific micronutrients are important for achieving optimum immunity.…

Abstract

Introduction: The coronavirus pandemic poses an unprecedented challenge to human health as well as global economies. The quest for vaccines and other approaches to this pandemic thus far focuses on synthetic molecules that are – predictably – associated with a variable degree of adverse effects.…

SUMMARY

Optimum micronutrient intake is the only scientifically proven way to improve general immune resistance against infections, a fact documented in every leading textbook of biology.  This study provides scientific evidence that, in addition, specific micronutrient compositions are powerful tools in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

Both, SARS-CoV-2 – the virus that causes the current pandemic – and other coronaviruses enter body cells via a specific receptor, the Angiotensin-Converting-Enzyme 2 (ACE2). The ACE2 receptor is expressed by many cell types, including lung epithelial cells as well as endothelial cells of the vascular system.…
