The insufficient provision of micronutrients (vitamins A, D, E, C, and B-group, the minerals zinc, iron, selenium, magnesium, copper, and phosphorus) weakens the immune response, which can increase the risk of infection, contribute to disease severity and COVID-19 complications. The population of Russia, both adults and children, has deficiencies of multiple micronutrients (vitamins D, B-group, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and iodine), their simultaneous deficiency is experienced by about one third of the surveyed population. The micronutrients in the body are interconnected to form metabolic networks. A lack of one or more vitamins can disrupt the conversion of other vitamins to their biologically active forms, causing a functional vitamin deficiency. The percentage of vitamins and minerals in the diet of the population is a modifiable risk factor for infectious diseases. This implies replenishing the insufficient dietary intake of micronutrients not only to cover the needs of the body, but also to achieve their optimal provision. We are not dealing with therapy with and use of vitamins in pharmacological dosages. The intake of multivitamins provides protection against COVID-19, a decrease in the severity of the disease, a reduction in the manifestations of post-COVID sequels, and an increase in the efficiency of vaccination. Optimization of the vitamin status in all population groups through the intake of vitamin and mineral supplements (VMS) containing a complete set of vitamins and immunotropic elements is an underestimated important preventive factor in protecting from viral infections.
Conclusion: The relevance of taking VMS in pregnancy and lactation during the pandemic is becoming even more important. During the pandemic, the use of VMS by pregnant and lactating women will not only improve their own micronutrient status and subsequently optimize the percentage of vitamins and minerals in breast milk, and thus the micronutrient status of the baby, but will also contribute to the body's resistance to disease.
