Indian scientists have found that vitamin B12 can block the growth of the coronavirus, and the results of the study were published in the journal IUBMB Life. Using computer modelling, scientists have been able to determine which molecules contained in natural products and drugs can suppress the action of nsp12, which is contained in the SARS-Cov-2 genome and is responsible for the replication of the virus. Methylcobalamin, one of the two biologically active coenzyme forms of vitamin B12, has been shown to have the ability to inhibit viral cell proliferation. This substance can be prescribed as prevention for at-risk groups such as medical staff, the elderly or people with chronic illnesses, to reduce the risk of infection and the need for emergency hospital care. The researchers said further research was needed to make changes to the COVID-19 treatment protocol.
