ABSTRACT
With the outbreak of COVID-19, several international initiatives actively concentrated on stopping the COVID-19 virus's spread and avoiding further transmission. Later the health professionals noticed a change in the overall health status of COVID-19 survivors. Moreover, many findings have identified the presence of a condition known as the post-COVID-19 syndrome, which is characterized mainly by chronic fatigue, malnutrition, sarcopenia, shortness of breath, dysphagia, appetite loss, and taste and smell alterations. Thus, focusing on the role of nutritional evaluation and management of those patients is very essential and will indeed, promotes recovery and provide a better prognosis. That is why this review aimed to collect the latest available data about the key role of nutrients and their supplementation in post-COVID-19
syndrome.
