Supplements don't boost immunity against Covid-19: DAK

Srinagar, Sep 21 (UNI) Doctors Association Kashmir (DAK) on Monday said supplements like vitamins, minerals and herbs do not boost immunity to ward off Covid-19 infection.
''There is no scientific evidence to suggest that supplements boost the immune system against Covid-19,'' said DAK President and influenza expert Dr Nisar ul Hassan in a statement here Monday afternoon.
''One of the misconceptions doing the rounds on internet is that vitamins, minerals and herbs enhance immunity,'' he said, adding various supplement companies are using the current health crisis to sell products they claim to strengthen the immune system. ''These supplements find their way in prescriptions too.''
