Abstract
Emerging evidence and patient testimony suggests that a proportion of individuals testing positive for COVID-19 will experience on-going and long term symptoms, well after the acute infection is over. Long COVID has been defined as symptoms consistent with COVID-19 infection which persist for 12 weeks or longer. Individuals may be affected with extreme fatigue, brain-fog, shortness of breath, chest pain, joint pain, depression and anxiety, tinnitus and more. Given the newness of this condition, there is limited research data, however some interesting reviews are being conducted on the role of nutrition, dietary antioxidants, immune rejuvenation and mitochondrial function.
