2019 年底，当 SARS-CoV-2 病毒在中国武汉出现时，世界各地人们对维生素和矿物质补充剂的兴趣有所增加。本研究旨在调查居住在亚洲、美洲、欧洲和土耳其的土耳其人在大流行期间补充剂使用的变化。 2021 年 1 月，我们对 18 岁以上的总共 1678 名个人（女性 n = 1329 名，男性 n = 369，亚洲 n = 139，美国 n = 507，欧洲 n = 292 和土耳其 n = 760）进行了在线横断面调查。自愿参与者填写了在线问卷。在这项研究中，个人被询问了大流行前后膳食补充剂的使用情况、他们在大流行过程中使用了哪些膳食补充剂以及为什么使用它们。疫情前和疫情期间个人膳食补充剂使用情况分别为亚洲（29.5%和71.9%）、美洲（40.6%和75.7%）、欧洲（30.8%和68.7%）和土耳其（21.3%和62.2%）。维生素C（74.7%）、维生素D（58.2%）和多种维生素（34.2%）、锌（19.7%）、鱼油（17.9%）、益生菌（13.4%）和蜂胶（11.1%）是所有地区最常用的膳食补充剂。个人表示，改善免疫系统是使用膳食补充剂的主要原因（53%）。个人因诊断营养缺乏而使用它（14%）。所有地区膳食补充剂的最大使用年龄在 31-50 岁之间。这项研究表明，疫情期间所有地区膳食补充剂的使用量均有所增加。尽管大多数人表示他们服用补充剂是为了增强免疫系统，但众所周知，补充剂并不能预防 Covid-19。然而，有人指出，使用维生素 D、C、锌和硒补充剂可能是有益的，特别是对于那些被诊断出营养缺乏和患有上呼吸道感染的人。健康人应了解补充剂和使用条件。没有任何

An online questionnaire was taken by the volunteered participants.

Vitamin C (74.7%), Vitamin D (58.2%) and multi vitamins (34.2%), Zinc (19.7%), Fish oil (17.9%), Probiotics (13.4%), and Propolis (11.1%) are the most commonly used dietary supplements in all regions. Individuals stated that improving the immune system was the main reason to use dietary supplements (53%). Individuals use it as a result of the diagnosis of nutritional deficiency (14%). The maximum use of dietary supplements in all regions is in between the ages of 31–50. This study showed that dietary supplement use increased during the pandemic in all regions. Although most of the individuals stated that they took supplements to strengthen the immune system, it is known that supplements do not prevent Covid-19. However, it has been stated that the use of vitamin D, C, Zinc and selenium supplements may be beneficial, especially in those with diagnosed nutritional deficiencies and those with upper respiratory tract infections. Healthy individuals should be made aware of supplements and usage conditions. None
