Long COVID affects a large share of persons of all age groups but may be especially burdensome for vulnerable older adults. Long COVID has a complex pathophysiology encompassing inflammatory and autoimmune processes, perturbations in metabolic pathways, and alterations in endothelial function and redox homeostasis.The management of long COVID requires a multidimensional approach that should include a comprehensive nutritional assessment. Several food bioactive compounds, nutraceuticals, and supplements may target specific pathways involved in long COVID and may, therefore, be used as an adjunctive therapy to manage the condition.

Abstract
Long COVID affects a large share of persons of all age groups but may be especially burdensome for vulnerable older adults. Long COVID has a complex pathophysiology encompassing inflammatory and autoimmune processes, perturbations in metabolic pathways, and alterations in endothelial function and redox homeostasis.The management of long COVID requires a multidimensional approach that should include a comprehensive nutritional assessment. Several food bioactive compounds, nutraceuticals, and supplements may target specific pathways involved in long COVID and may, therefore, be used as an adjunctive therapy to manage the condition.
