What are multivitamins?
Multivitamins are supplements that contain many different vitamins and minerals, sometimes alongside other ingredients (3).
As there’s no standard for what constitutes a multivitamin, their nutrient composition varies by brand and product.
Multivitamins are also called multiminerals, multis, multiples, or simply vitamins.
They’re available in many forms, including tablets, capsules, chewable gummies, powders, and liquids.
Multivitamins are available in pharmacies, large discount stores, and supermarkets, as well as online. Given that these symptoms can mimic the flu or common cold, you might be tempted to use the same types of medications, vitamins, or supplements to treat and prevent it.
But according to Boyd, "you can’t compare COVID-19 to the common cold or the flu." “It’s a brand new virus that is dangerous,” he tells Runner’s World. “For people who are taking multivitamins or vitamin C, it won’t hurt, but you should not rely on them over the advised precautions of preventing coronavirus, like washing your hands often or practicing social distancing or social isolation.”

- Vitamin C is one of the biggest immune system boosters of all. In fact, a lack of vitamin C can even make you more prone to getting sick. Foods rich in vitamin C include oranges, grapefruits, tangerines, strawberries, bell peppers, spinach, kale and broccoli. Daily intake of vitamin C is essential for good health because your body doesn’t produce or store it. The good news is that vitamin C is in so many foods that most people don’t need to take a vitamin C supplement unless a doctor advises it.
- Vitamin B6 is vital to supporting biochemical reactions in the immune system. Vitamin B6-rich foods include chicken and cold water fish such as salmon and tuna. Vitamin B6 also is found in green vegetables and in chickpeas, which is the main ingredient in hummus.
- Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that helps the body fight off infection. Foods rich in vitamin E include nuts, seeds and spinach.
