Conclusions > > > COVID-19 constitutes a universal threat to human health, necessitating > fast, promising, and safe measures for reducing infection risk, suppressing > virulence development, strengthening the immune system, and supporting > recovery. The essential trace element Se may be most relevant for these > issues. Subjects residing in areas with poor baseline Se supply or on > restricted nutrition, and COVID patients with pre-existing comorbidities or > long disease course are at particularly elevated risk for severe Se > deficiency, and may profit from improving the Se supply by dietary or > supplemental measures. The observed association of mortality risk with Se > deficit and the likely underlying feed-forward mechanism argues for > initiating intervention studies under the highest quality standards, in > order not to miss a universally available, inexpensive, and safe preventive > measure and adjuvant treatment option. > > > >
