Conclusions
The suggestions for proper evidence-based nutritional therapy reported here are for patients with critical COVID-19 conditions and should be included in life-saving therapies. The supplementation of amino acids and lactoferrin should always be accompanied by drug therapies following an ICU hospitalization and its importance cannot be overlooked. Malnutrition phenomena weaken the patient already in poor condition and greatly lengthen recovery and recovery times. Furthermore, the lung damage caused by oronavirus is caused by an overexpression of proinflammatory molecules (cytokines) which, from literature data, has been shown to be lowered by an adequate integration of amino acids. Nutritional therapy together with pharmacological therapy undoubtedly helps the covid patient to overcome the acute phase of the disease first and to shorten recovery times.
