In this way, Mg deficiency may exacerbate the course of COVID-19. Therefore, in patients with Covid-19 permanent monitoring of the Mg status and, if necessary, supplementation should be carried out.

Is there an increased prevalence of Mg deficiency in COVID-19 patients? Could Mg supplementation alleviate the course of the disease in COVID-19 or reduce complications?
