In adequate protein intake during both the acute and post-acute phases of the illness is linked to decreased morbidity and mortality rate. One complication of COVID-19 involves the so-called cytokine storm, a hyper-inflammatory response which is caused by the over-release of cytokines that often results in multi-organ dysfunction and even death. In addition to anti-inflammatory and antiviral drugs, amino acids can play a role in mitigating the release of cytokines, thus decreasing overall mortality and morbidity. Glutamine amino acids may help to preserve lung and intestinal function and has been significantly reduce the amount of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Arginine and glycine may reduce the number of certain inflammatory agents in the alveoli (present in lungs) thus limiting damage to the lungs.
