Abstract

The World Health Organization has classified the coronavirus disease outbreak as a worldwide pandemic as a result of the COVID-19 expansion. According to medical professionals, individuals with strong immunity often outlive infections more frequently than those with poor immunity. The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted the need for novel approaches to treating the illness and its symptoms. Natural products from plants are increasingly being seen favorably in comparison to synthetic ones in the fight against diseases. As a result, in order to avoid contracting any unanticipated illnesses, individuals must increase their immunity by eating more dietary supplements and by taking drugs that have immune-boosting properties. This review aimed to give a general overview of some traditional Sudanese foods and drinks that are rich in immune-boosting elements, and accordingly, they could be safely recommended as an adjuvant dietary supplement to improve the immune system's ability to fight such infections as COVID-19. Also, this review aims to bring attention to the fact that immune boosters may be found in natural sources, which will help pharmaceutical companies by taking some of the load off of them. Electronic databases, including Google Scholar, Scopus, and the Web of Science, were searched for relevant material. The selected articles underwent independent eligibility and information extraction reviews. The review focused on certain traditional Sudanese herbs and their derivatives that are rich in immune-stimulating vitamins and minerals and therefore could possibly be recommended as immune-boosting dietary supplements to help fight COVID-19. This review highlights the fact that the pharmaceutical sector, especially community and hospital pharmacists, could play a vital role in supporting the healthcare system by encouraging their communities to add plants and their products that are rich in immune-boosting vitamins and minerals to their diet.

通过增强免疫力来对抗COVID-19的进展:苏丹传统天然产品中含有增强免疫力元素的综述

由于COVID-19的扩大，世界卫生组织将冠状病毒病的爆发归类为全球大流行。根据医疗专业人员的说法，免疫力强的人比免疫力差的人更能幸免于感染。COVID-19大流行促使人们需要新的方法来治疗这种疾病及其症状。与合成产品相比，来自植物的天然产品在对抗疾病方面越来越被看好。因此，为了避免感染任何意想不到的疾病，个人必须通过吃更多的膳食补充剂和服用具有增强免疫特性的药物来提高免疫力。本综述旨在概述一些富含免疫增强元素的苏丹传统食品和饮料，因此，它们可以安全地推荐作为辅助膳食补充剂，以提高免疫系统对抗COVID-19等感染的能力。此外，这篇综述的目的是让人们注意到这样一个事实，即免疫增强剂可能存在于天然来源中，这将帮助制药公司减轻一些负担。电子数据库，包括b谷歌Scholar, Scopus和Web of Science，搜索相关材料。入选文章进行了独立的资格审查和信息提取审查。该审查侧重于某些传统苏丹草药及其衍生物，这些草药富含免疫刺激维生素和矿物质，因此可能被推荐作为增强免疫的膳食补充剂，以帮助抗击COVID-19。这篇综述强调了这样一个事实，即制药部门，特别是社区和医院药剂师，可以通过鼓励他们的社区在他们的饮食中添加富含增强免疫力的维生素和矿物质的植物及其产品，在支持医疗保健系统方面发挥至关重要的作用。
