Regular fish oil consumption found effective in preventing severe COVID-19 outcomes medrxivpreprint FishOil SevereCOVID COVID19 SARSCoV2
By Neha MathurSep 20 2022Reviewed by Aimee Molineux In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* pre-print server, researchers investigated whether regular fish oil use decreased the risk of contracting severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. Additionally, they examined whether fish oil users had a lower risk of developing adverse coronavirus disease 2019 outcomes, including hospitalization and death in a national population-based cohort registered with the United Kingdom biobank.
The team identified COVID-19-related hospital admission and mortality from inpatient hospital data updated to September 30, 2021. The study follow-up continued for up to 12.1 years from the baseline assessment or ended at the time of COVID-19 diagnosis, inpatient hospitalization, or mortality, whichever occurred first.
Study findings Related StoriesIn total, 29424 participants reported using fish oil supplementation at baseline. The study population had more women, older people, previous smokers, and habitually used vitamin and mineral supplements. Additionally, these fish oil users showed a higher prevalence of longstanding hypertension and myocardial infarction.

Molecular engineered low-cost highly effective RBD-based COVID vaccineIn a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, an international team of researchers developed a second-generation severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) receptor binding domain (RBD) antigen (RBD-J6) by molecular engineering with two additional amino acid (aa) substitutions (S383D and L518D mutations) in a hydrophobic cryptic RBD core epitope to enhance stability and expression against SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs).
