Before the status of the number of cases COVID-19 continues to increase, up to more than 160,000 cases / day causing many people to worry. Many people follow trends on social networks and race to buy medicines, medical equipment and supplies, as well as vitamins and minerals to prevent disease by drinking to boost their immune system.

Not only that, recently on several forums there has also been information circulating about buying expensive products such as cordyceps and swiftlet’s nest to help F0s recover faster. The reason is, it is said that the above products have many nutrients to help nourish the body properly, increase the body’s resistance quickly, thereby expelling the virus.

Prior to the above information, experts said that buying expensive nutritional products to eat quickly to get rid of COVID-19 is wrong, and can even fall into a “lost money, handicap” state because of buying expensive products. .

Prof. Bui Cong Hien – Leading Expert in Entomology says that providing information about good and nutritious cordyceps is just a “trick” to make money selling. Even though it’s very rare to find cordyceps, it’s not easy to find it until you ask, you can buy as much as you want.

According to Prof. Hien, the type of cordyceps sold in the market today is actually a fungus breeding on silkworms. The nature of cordyceps is very different from the spraying of fungi on silkworm pupae. In terms of appearance, the worm shell between cordyceps and silkworm cocoons is the same, so many people mistake them for the same.

“I hope people should consider spending a lot of money on cordyceps, so use that money to buy other, more diverse foods, know where they come from … to promote better health,” he says. GS Hien shares.

Association of Prof. TS.BS Nguyen Thi Lam – Former Vice President of National Institute of Nutrition that F0 with severe symptoms according to the Ministry of Health guidelines must be hospitalized to receive treatment according to hospital stratification. In order for F0 to be monitored and treated at home, symptomatic treatment is still the most important. In particular, if the patient is coughing, they can use cough suppressants and expectorants; If the patient has a fever, it is necessary to use antipyretics …

Especially for cordyceps or swallow’s nest, if it is a standard and quality product, these are all products that contain many micronutrients and a number of amino acids and some stimulants and immunogens. However, it must be emphasized that these are all expensive products and not a cure for COVID-19.

In particular, with cordyceps not everyone can use it. This product is only for use by adults, children and pregnant women under 3 months should not be used. When using, it is also necessary to have the guidance of a qualified person as the product may be associated with allergies and a number of other factors.

“I think people with the condition being able to use as directed will have a certain effect on health. However, when consulting the entire population or F0s, I suggest people, if possible, use some vitamins such as: vitamin D, zinc, vitamin C, probiotic products (yogurt, beverage preparations). These are all inexpensive vitamins, with studies clearly confirming their immune-boosting abilities. It’s better to supplement the vitamins that Vietnamese people often lack as above, than to just use cordyceps and oats. However, even with regular vitamins when taking, you should consult a doctor,” said Associate Professor Lam.

Dr. Tu Ngu, Secretary General of the Vietnam Nutrition Association So far, cordyceps and swiftlet’s nest have not been experimental in the treatment of COVID-19. When infected with COVID-19 in addition to treating symptoms, patients need to eat a balanced diet from 4 food groups: starch, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals.

“Eating a variety of food groups is a good way to increase the body’s resistance to COVID-19. There is no need to spend too much to buy swiftlet’s nest or cordyceps to help treat F0 while the effect is not yet clear,” said Dr. Tu Ngu.
