Can vitamins protect you against the Delta variant? Experts weigh in. - NJ.com

Despite how vitamins can boost immunity, they are not considered to be a good measure of protection against the Delta variant, experts say.

The Delta variant has continued to spread throughout the U.S., prompting the public to look for the best ways to prevent themselves from getting the highly transmissible strain of the coronavirus.

But according to the Mayo Clinic, “these supplements are unlikely to affect your immune function or prevent you from getting sick.”.

Sandra Adams, a professor of biology and virologist at Montclair State University, added that vitamins cannot boost a significant enough immune response to prevent you from getting COVID “or any of its variants.”.

“Vitamins cannot interfere with any stage in the replication of the SARS-CoV-2 virus or any of its variants, nor would vitamins be sufficient to boost the immune response to prevent the onset of illness.”.
