The WHO announced this new disease was to be known as “COVID-19”.Evidence AcquisitionSeveral approaches are currently underway for the treatment of this disease, but a specific cure remains to be established.Evidence SynthesisThis review will describe how the use of selected nutraceuticals could be helpful, in addition to pharmacological therapy, in preventing some COVID-19-related complications in infected patients.ConclusionsEven if a specific and effective cure for COVID-19 still has some way to go, selected nutraceuticals could be helpful, in addition to pharmacological therapy, in preventing some COVID-19-related complications in infected patients.
