description Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by the highly contagious virus Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which has caused hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide. Finding more effective treatments has always been the focus of everyone’s attention. The study found that compared with western drugs, natural products have higher bioavailability and fewer side effects, which provides a good prospect for the development of natural product-based antiviral drugs against SARS-CoV-2. The role of nutritional interventions in disease management is receiving increasing attention. Therefore, we conducted a thorough analysis of the latest literature on the effects of natural products and nutrients on COVID-19, based on reports from both domestic and international sources, to elucidate their positive role in maintaining human health. In conclusion, this paper emphasizes the potential role of natural products and nutritional interventions in the treatment of SARS-CoV-2, and explores more efficient and safer SARS-CoV-2 response strategies.
