COVID-19 is a highly contagious condition that causes severe problems to the body’s lungs and other organs. The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11, 2020, because of how fast the virus was spreading worldwide (WHO, 2020).
At the present time, there has been no approved medication available to treat COVID-19 (US FDA, 2020) at home. This study seeks to evaluate a variety of approaches to COVID-19 treatment that can be done at home. Specifically, researchers want to determine if over-the-counter (OTC) products are effective for the treatment of COVID-19. Participants will be given over-the-counter products such as Vitamin D3, Vitamin K2, Magnesium glycinate, as well as other over-the-counter products, depending on the treatment group. This study’s results may provide safe, effective, and inexpensive treatments for COVID-19 that may benefit society in the future.
