One of the studies I read showed that COVID patients that didn't have enough of the sugar fucose attached to their IgG had much more severe infections and consequences. That study also showed that mice that were fucose deprived suffered worse consequences than mice with sufficient fucose. It showed that fucose could be supplemented to those fucose deprived mice and their symptoms diminished and they got better.
Fucose is a sugar that is in seeds, apples, mushrooms, celery, avocadoes, and seaweed. It's in other fruits and vegetables as well, but these showed the highest concentration of fucose. My suggestion would be to eat a hand full of seeds each day and eat some of these foods every chance you can. I eat 15 grams of ground flax seed in my oatmeal in addition to 1/2 an apple, kiwi, almonds, cashews, a sweet potato, and a banana every day I can. Flax seed always needs to be ground and don't over do it on the apples and celery, they are two of the most pesticide laden foods you can find.
Men die of COVID at a higher rate than women. Women have higher fucose levels than men up until after menopause when their level drops. Could fucose levels be the reason women have more survivability from COVID?
Our body works on a supply and demand basis. We have a lot of demand but not enough supply. When we don't have enough of one nutrient, the body adjusts by altering its biological pathways and that reduces their efficiency. Over time, this catches up to us as we age and our immune system diminishes. For COVID, it happens over a few weeks as the inflammatory processes reduce our nutrients. The people that have enough nutrients do much better than the ones who run out.
It is also believed that vaccinated people put more fucose on their IgG than unvaccinated people. That may be why their symptoms are less in breakthrough cases.
