“…Thus, vitamin D supplementation may be started through vitamin-producing probiotics on a regular basis to raise 25OHD concentrations above 40–60 ng/ml. However, for treatment of patients infected with COVID-19, a higher dose might be useful (Jeyaraman et al 2020 ). Further study on vitamin supplementation by probiotics needs to be evaluated using a large population of healthy individuals comprising equal number of male and female volunteers.…”

Interspecies transmissions of viruses between animals and humans may result in unpredictable pathogenic potential and new transmissible diseases. This mechanism has recently been exemplified by the discovery of new pathogenic viruses, such as the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, Middle-East respiratory syndromecoronavirus epidemic in Saudi Arabia, and the deadly outbreak of Ebola in West Africa. The. SARS-CoV-2 causes coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19), which is having a massive global impact in terms of economic disruption, and, above all, human health. The disease is characterized by dry cough, fever, fatigue, myalgia, and dyspnea. Other symptoms include headache, sore throat, rhinorrhea, and gastrointestinal disorders. Pneumonia appears to be the most common and severe manifestation of the infection. Currently, there is no vaccine or specific drug for COVID-19. Further, the development of new antiviral requires a considerable length of time and effort for drug design and validation. Therefore, repurposing the use of natural compounds can provide alternatives and can support therapy against COVID-19. In this review, we comprehensively discuss the prophylactic and supportive therapeutic role of probiotics for the management of COVID-19. In addition, the unique role of probiotics to modulate the gut microbe and assert gut homeostasis and production of interferon as an antiviral mechanism is described. Further, the regulatory role of probiotics on gut-lung axis and mucosal immune system for the potential antiviral mechanisms is reviewed and discussed. Key points • Gut microbiota role in antiviral diseases • Factors influencing the antiviral mechanism • Probiotics and Covid-19

Human health is connected to nature in many ways. Two of these ways involve the sun and the healthy foods that we eat. Nature, particularly the sun, helps our bodies to make one of the vital nutrients, vitamin D, which keeps our bodies healthy. In this article, we explain how our bodies make vitamin D, which is also called the “sunshine vitamin.” We will also explain the important roles vitamin D plays in humans, such as helping the immune system, regulating our hormones, and keeping the bones, heart, and brain healthy.
