Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by the highly contagious virus Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which has caused hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide. Finding more effective treatments has always been the focus of everyone’s attention. The study found that compared with western drugs, natural products have higher bioavailability and fewer side effects, which provides a good prospect for the development of natural product-based antiviral drugs against SARS-CoV-2. The role of nutritional interventions in disease management is receiving increasing attention. Therefore, we conducted a thorough analysis of the latest literature on the effects of natural products and nutrients on COVID-19, based on reports from both domestic and international sources, to elucidate their positive role in maintaining human health. In conclusion, this paper emphasizes the potential role of natural products and nutritional interventions in the treatment of SARS-CoV-2, and explores more efficient and safer SARS-CoV-2 response strategies.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Functional Foods continues with the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. We give authors the possibility to publish their top-quality papers in a well-established leading journal in the food and nutrition fields. The Journal will keep its rigorous criteria to screen high impact research addressing relevant scientific topics and performed by sound methodologies.
The Journal of Functional Foods aims to bring together the results of fundamental and applied research into healthy foods and biologically active food ingredients.
The Journal is centered in the specific area at the boundaries among food technology, nutrition and health welcoming papers having a good interdisciplinary approach. The Journal will cover the fields of plant bioactives; dietary fibre, probiotics; functional lipids; bioactive peptides; vitamins, minerals and botanicals and other dietary supplements. Nutritional and technological aspects related to the development of functional foods and beverages are of core interest to the journal. Experimental works dealing with food digestion, bioavailability of food bioactives and on the mechanisms by which foods and their components are able to modulate physiological parameters connected with disease prevention are of particular interest as well as those dealing with personalized nutrition and nutritional needs in pathological subjects.
