April 29, 2021  21:20

To prevent severe COVID-19, it is recommended to take vitamins C and D in combination with melatonin and zinc, an Italian scientist told RIA Novosti.

A group of scientists from Italy for six months studied the effect of these additives on the organisms of patients. They calculated the dose that should be taken to get the best effect from the drugs.

According to Corrao, one to two grams of vitamin C should be added to food daily and 50,000 international units of vitamin D should be added monthly, while the second is the best drunk on a full stomach. And melatonin should be taken in a dosage of 6 to 10 milligrams every night.

The specialist also added that you need to eat 50 milligrams of pure zinc every day. Given that this substance accumulates in the body, over time, the dose should be reduced by 25 milligrams. The expert recalled that any drugs must be taken under the supervision of a doctor.
