24 Apr 2020 --- Micronutrient-rich supplements are a safe, effective and inexpensive means of strengthening resistance to infections and protecting the body from respiratory diseases, including COVID-19, according to a new study review from the Oregon State University (OSU), US. The research team warrants supplementation above the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), but within recommended upper safety limits, for specific nutrients, such as vitamins C and D. The study also appeals for public health officials to delineate nutritional strategies in public health recommendations, with frequent hand washing and social distancing at the forefront, to help prevent the spread of infections further.
