Zinc, Vitamin D and Vitamin C: Perspectives for COVID-19 With a Focus on Physical Tissue Barrier Integrity - PMC (nih.gov)
Quote: “Overall, the medical literature demonstrates that the supplementation with zinc, vitamin C and vitamin D can mitigate viral respiratory infections. Thus, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the supplementation with such nutrients may be characterized as a widely available, safe and low cost measure that can be useful to cope with the increased demand for these nutrients in case of contact with the virus and onset of the immune responses, as well as to lower the risk of severe progression and prognosis of this viral infection.”
A good add-on to the vaccine, or crucial if you for some reason have not taken the vaccine.

Remember that vitamin D needs to be taken with some fat as it’s fat soluble rather than water soluble. I take 2000IU vitamin D with a large glass of full fat milk every day.

While it seems like a good idea to boost the immune system, unless you’ve had covid or a vaccine your body has no protection against Covid. You’ll still catch it, even with supplements and a boosted immune system. Even people that have had Covid have caught it again.
By all means, keep yourself healthy and use supplements that are recommended , but don’t expect to be protected from Covid.
Yes, I see the post says “can help cope” but a lot of people won’t read the article fully or understand.
i will stick to vaping essential oil and injecting bleach

No, it won’t stop contracting the disease, but it might make symptoms less severe. There are lots of studies that show patients who contracted covid and had to go on respirator care had very low levels of one or more of mentioned micronutrients where maybe vitamin D is the most prevalent.
