    <abstract locale="en_US">Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), also known as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is a pandemic crisis. Little is known about the treatment of this disease, and supportive care is the only therapy for patients with COVID-19. It has been shown that mineral vitamins have an important role in improving the health status of the patients, and several studies have investigated their effects on patients affected with other coronaviruses. In this review, the probable mechanisms of action of each vitamin against COVID-19 infection, the benefits of co-therapy of vitamins with other supplements, and the recommended daily intake of each nutrient are discussed.</abstract>
