For New Year's of 2022, my husband, younger son and I all got COVID. It was not the ideal start to a new year, but with the help of supplements, we were all better in no time (much different from my experience with the first strain of COVID in early 2020!). I had the mildest symptoms, and I also took the prophylactic supplements faster, sooner and more on-schedule. Below are some products with ingredients shown in studies to prevent COVID adherence or outright kill the virus. Others are aimed at recovering from the damage done in the body (esp. the gut).
They are available at a discount on my FullScript supplement dispensary which you can join by clicking here.
The links to supplements will work only after you create and account on FullScript and sign in. If you already belong to a different FullScript dispensary and my discount is better, feel free to switch to my dispensary to order.
Microbiome Labs - MegaIgG2000 (may help keep the virus from adhering/binding to ACE2 receptors; neutralizing inflammatory antigens; decreasing gut permeability. Great for before exposure to strengthen the gut immune system and for recovery to repair gut damage and reduce toxins)
"COVID-19 manifests as a mild disease in most people but can progress to severe disease in nearly 20% of individuals. Disease progression is likely driven by a cytokine storm, either directly stimulated by SARS-CoV-2 or by increased systemic inflammation in which the gut might play an integral role. SARS-CoV-2 replication in the gut may cause increased intestinal permeability, alterations to the fecal microbiome, and increased inflammatory cytokines. Each effect may lead to increased systemic inflammation and the transport of cytokines and inflammatory antigens from the gut to the lung. Few interventions are being studied to treat people with mild disease and prevent the cytokine storm. Serumderived bovine immunoglobulin/protein isolate (SBI) may prevent progression by (1) binding and neutralizing inflammatory antigens, (2) decreasing gut permeability, (3) interfering with ACE2 binding by viral proteins, and (4) improving the fecal microbiome. SBI is therefore a promising intervention to prevent disease progression in COVID-19 patients."

QuickSilver Scientific - Immune Charge+™ Throat Spray (I use this every 2 hours when I'm out in public or around anyone who may have exposed me to a virus whether it be a cold, flu, or COVID)

From PubMed: Propolis has also shown promise as an aid in the treatment of various of the comorbidities that are particularly dangerous in COVID-19 patients, including respiratory diseases, hypertension, diabetes, and cancer. Standardized propolis products with consistent bioactive properties are now available. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32890967/

As always, keep up a healthy, nutrient-dense diet of fruits, veggies, grass-fed meats (or tofu/beans for vegans) and fermented foods! Stay well out there, everyone!
