According to a study from Italy, a mix of amino acids, B vitamins, and other bioactive food supplements can help people with chronic fatigue from a COVID-19 infection improve their muscle and physical performance.

Moreover, according to researchers, more than 50% of patients still felt tired 12 weeks after a COVID-19 infection. The impact of so-called “long COVID” has yet to be completely established, and COVID-19 case numbers are still a cause for some concern in some places.

A British healthcare start-up has created a pack of specialized nutraceuticals to strengthen the immune system and lessen weariness, pains, and brain fog. In addition, several supplements in the pack are well-known for improving life expectancy.

Studies that were published in the journal Nutrients showed that when nine essential amino acids, cysteine, malic, succinic, and citric acids, and vitamins B6 and B1 were mixed together, the quality of life of post-COVID-19 patients became better.

COVID Recovery Immune Support Packs

With its new “COVID recovery immune support” packs, the Longevity Technology Company, which uses AI to improve life expectancy, is now concentrating on the pandemic’s impacts. By looking closely at the science behind pharmaceutical therapies, the company has come up with a set of food supplements that work in the same way.

The supplement manufacturer’s ingredients for living longer include quercetin, resveratrol, N-acetyl cysteine, Vitamin A, alpha-lipoic acid, and zinc. These ingredients are meant to:

• stop the virus from spreading by making it less likely to attach to ACE2 receptors on lung cells.
• slow the spread of viruses by blocking the coronavirus Mpro protease, which is needed for viral replication and is needed for viruses to spread.
• control inflammation and support the immune system.

The antioxidants are increased by the vitamins, minerals, and botanicals to help stop virus replication and inflammation, which may do much damage. The goal is to reduce the duration and severity of the infection as well as the body’s inflammatory reactivity, also referred to as the “cytokine storm.” 

Current pharmaceutical interventions used in hospitals, such as sotrovimab and remdesivir, work by either blocking the viral replication process or by sticking onto the spike protein, preventing the virus from getting into the lungs. 

Resveratrol and Quercetin Supplements for Longevity

Quercetin is a plant flavonoid that is included in capers and green tea and is widely known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It has also been the subject of many studies on how to live longer and healthier lives.

Resveratrol was the second important substance that was discovered by humans. As a different substance closely associated with the study of longevity, Resveratrol is probably the most well-known substance to have been found to lengthen the lifespan of single-cell organisms in the laboratory. It is also the subject of four COVID-19 clinical trials that are still going on.

Moreover, as a powerful antioxidant, it seems to stop the virus from copying itself inside the cell.

The cytokine storm brought on by COVID-19 depletes the body’s supply of antioxidants, particularly glutathione, and can harm the lungs. Also in the packs is N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), which is a precursor to glutathione. This is done to fix the imbalance and “calm down” the effects of the cytokine storm, which can cause lung damage.

Purchasing Dietary Supplements

Nowadays, it appears that anybody can buy food supplements from websites that also offer medical advice. A new normal and higher general health awareness on maintaining personal hygiene and avoiding social contact emerged as a result of lockdowns.

To acquire recommendations for vitamins, consumers are increasingly turning to the internet, their acquaintances, or social media.

However, just as with any medication, consumers should obtain advice regarding the possible advantages and disadvantages of dietary supplements from reputable sources (doctors, pharmacists, or peer-reviewed evidence-based papers) before making a purchase.

In a Nutshell 

Researchers concluded that the strong biological plausibility and the scientific evidence support the idea that a food supplement with 10 amino acids, vitamins B6 and B1, and malic, succinic, and citric acids may have helped nutritional status and functional recovery.
