Vitamin D, Multivits, Probiotics and Omega-3 Reduce COVID in Women, Not Men

April 21, 2021

(Medscape) – Probiotics, omega-3 fatty acids, multivitamin or vitamin D supplements are associated with reduced risk of coronavirus infection in women but not men, while vitamin C, garlic and zinc show no clear benefit in either, according to the latest findings from users of the COVID-19 Symptom Study app. The study is the largest observational study of SARS-CoV-2 infection and dietary supplement use to date, drawing on data from more than 400,000 app users from the UK, US, and Sweden. Similar results were found across all three countries and are published today in the journal BMJ Nutrition Prevention and Health.
