I'm learning that with long COVID, my body needs additional supplies of vitamins, enzymes, and other bits that it's running short on
I don't like being on so many medications and supplements, but I tried rotating a few off and found the hard way that my body needs something from them
So in case it helps others or someone else found something I haven't yet, these are supplements that I now know I have to take regularly:
Multivitamin — generally useful
Vitamin D — frequently low in long COVID
Magnesium — helps prevent cramps (frequent cramps are a signal of low magnesium)
Molybdenum — essential for breaking down toxins (especially important for vegan, vegetarian, or gluten free diets!)
Biotin — supports skin, nails, and hair growth
Unclear value/result:
Omega-3
Cod liver oil
Haven't yet tried:
Glutathione — haven't tried yet but recommended for fatigue & CFS
Thyroid complex — many long COVID symptoms match hypothyroidism
COQ-10
Non-supplement things:
Hydration, electrolytes, and ample sleep are a crucial foundation
Pacing and resting are essential for chronic fatigue and PEM
