Global DHA Supplements Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown in various countries across the globe have impacted the financial status of businesses across all sectors, including the private healthcare sector. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the entire supply chain of the healthcare industry, mainly due to strict lockdown in several regions. Private healthcare is one such sector that has been impacted significantly by the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, supplements such as DHA has gained a lot of attention in the COVID-19 pandemic, owing to its influence on the immunological response to viral infections. For instance, according to an article published by Frontiers Media S.A., an open-access publisher of peer-reviewed scientific articles, in June 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and subgroup of patient death was attributed to the so-called ‘cytokine storm’ phenomenon that is also called cytokine release syndrome or macrophage overactivation syndrome. According to the same source, LC-PUFAs (long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids) such as EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) modulated the immune response and function in many ways. Both EPA and DHA can decrease the secretion of inflammatory cytokines and also reduce the triglyceride levels in the blood. Lower levels of triglyceride present a lower risk of developing a ‘cytokine storm’. This approach adds to the growing evidence supporting the use of n-3 LC-PUFA supplementation in COVID-19 illness. Thus, the COVID-19 pandemic brought a lot of attention to the use of DHA supplements in reducing the risk of infection, thereby prompting the researchers to research more about DHA supplements. The increasing research on DHA supplements in treating or reducing the risk of infections is expected to drive the global DHA supplements market growth over the forecast period.
