Imbalance of vitamin and mineral substances is considered as one of the leading functional conditions in patients with post-COVID syndrome.Materials and Methods. Тotal of 195 consecutively recruited patients were examined. The average age of the surveyed was 54 (12.1) years. After discharge from the hospital, patients were randomly recommended four rehabilitation regimens: Group A - standard rehabilitation, mainly including anticoagulant therapy (n = 47); Group B - where, in addition to standard methods, vitamin preparations were administered (n = 49); Group C - where, in addition to standard methods, mineral preparations were administered (n = 48); Group D - where, in addition to standard methods, vitamins and mineral preparations were administered (n = 51). The quality of life was assessed using the scales of the SF-36 questionnaire.Results. Patients with severe COVID-19 had a lower quality of life on admission and discharge from the hospital than those with moderate disease. Rehabilitation activities within 6 months after an acute coronavirus infection, the quality of life was increased by 10-20%. The most pronounced result was observed in patients of group D, who used trace elements in combination with vitamins.Conclusion. Intake of vitamin-mineral complexes into rehabilitation regimens improves the quality of life of patients with post-COVID syndrome.COVID-19COVID-19rehabilitationquality of lifevitaminsmineralsреабилитациякачество жизнивитаминыминералы1.Nedjimi B.
