![]() ![]() ![]() Viruses classified as coronavirus belong to the family Coronaviridae, a name derived from the crown-shaped spikes on the pathogen surface, and are characterized by compromising the human respiratory system ( 4, 5). The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic highlights the importance of the use of essential nutrients, especially those with immunomodulatory effects that support an organism's natural immune defenses in the event of that or other viral infections ( 1– 3). Ongoing clinical trials will help to clarify the role of these nutrients for COVID-19 management. Thus, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the adequate intake of zinc and vitamins C and D may represent a promising pharmacological tool due to the high demand for these nutrients in the case of contact with the virus and onset of the inflammatory process. The evidence found in the literature shows that deficiency of one or more of these three elements compromises the immune response, making an individual more vulnerable to viral infections and to a worse disease prognosis. Thus, the present review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the roles of zinc and vitamins C and D in the immune response to viral infections, focusing on the synergistic action of these nutrients in the maintenance of physical tissue barriers, such as the skin and mucous membranes. Considering the COVID-19 pandemic, nutrients that can optimize the immune system to prevent or lower the risk of severe progression and prognosis of this viral infection become relevant. Among these elements, zinc and vitamins C and D stand out for having immunomodulatory functions and for playing roles in preserving physical tissue barriers. Some nutrients play key roles in maintaining the integrity and function of the immune system, presenting synergistic actions in steps determinant for the immune response. 2Department of Pharmacology, Institute of Biomedical Sciences, University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil.1Kilyos Consultoria, Assessoria, Cursos e Palestras, São Paulo, Brazil.GENIUS BOOSTERS - A unique blend of MCT Oil, essential vitamins, and superfoods to feed your inner brainiac.José João Name 1 *, Ana Carolina Remondi Souza 1, Andrea Rodrigues Vasconcelos 2, Pietra Sacramento Prado 1 and Carolina Parga Martins Pereira 1 GOURMET COFFEE - A smooth, satisfying medium dark roast made with 100% Arabica beans sourced from Brazil.
