Supplements, vitamins, tonics, and home remedies were heavily consumed during the pandemic. However, there was little evidence to support their use in the prophylaxis or treatment of COVID-19. Therefore, a series of reviews and studies were conducted to determine what evidence, if any, there was to support observations and reports circulating early in the pandemic. Some of this research was discussed in the media, including by Spectrum News, WHYY by PBS, Business Wire, and The Indian Express
