The relevance of magnesium homeostasis in COVID-19

Valentina Trapani et al.

Summary: This scoping review highlights the importance of magnesium in clinical nutrition, suggesting a potential link between deranged magnesium homeostasis and COVID-19. Further studies are needed to explore the prophylactic or therapeutic potential of magnesium supplementation in relation to COVID-19.

Therapeutic supplementation with zinc in the management of COVID-19-related diarrhea and ageusia/dysgeusia: mechanisms and clues for a personalized dosage regimen

Heitor O. Santos

Summary: Zinc supplementation is a potential adjunct therapy for the management of COVID-19-related diarrhea and taste disorders. It has proven beneficial for non-COVID-19 patients with similar clinical problems. However, caution should be exercised when translating the zinc dosage for children into the treatment of COVID-19.

SARS-CoV-2: influence of phosphate and magnesium, moderated by vitamin D, on energy (ATP) metabolism and on severity of COVID-19

Theo A. T. G. van Kempen et al.

Summary: The use of vitamin D to reduce the severity of COVID-19 complications is promising due to its immune modulating properties, but deficiencies in phosphate and Mg in COVID-19 patients may exacerbate the disease. Supplementation of phosphate and Mg with vitamin D could be beneficial in both treatment and prevention strategies.

C-reactive protein and clinical outcomes in patients with COVID-19

Nathaniel R. Smilowitz et al.

Summary: Elevated CRP levels at initial hospital presentation in COVID-19 patients are associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism, acute kidney injury, critical illness, and mortality. There is a dose-response relationship between CRP concentration and adverse outcomes, with patients with high levels of both CRP and D-dimer showing the greatest risk of adverse outcomes. Systemic inflammation, as measured by CRP, plays a significant role in predicting clinical outcomes in COVID-19.

Magnesium in Infectious Diseases in Older People

Ligia J. Dominguez et al.

Summary: Reduced magnesium intake is a common cause of deficiency with age, which can lead to increased oxidative stress and low-grade inflammation. There is a strong link between magnesium deficiency and age-related diseases, predisposition to infections, and chronic Epstein-Barr virus infection. Magnesium plays a crucial role in the immune response, vitamin D biosynthesis, and transport, indicating a possible role in the pathogenesis of infectious diseases such as COVID-19.
