A member asked:
Is giving vitamin c with zinc supplements for kids every day a good idea these days with covid19 infecting millions ? what about vit d ? especially if the kids are deficient ? thank you
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No evidence: There is currently no evidence demonstrating benefit of zinc or vitamin C to combat COVID. If they are deficient then it is certainly a good idea to replace that independent of the virus.
