Introduction Profound muscle weakness during and after critical illness for which there is no other clinical explanation is termed intensive care unit acquired weakness (ICUAW) (1). Some of the terms used for the ICUAW syndrome are intensive care unit acquired paresis, syndrome of acquired weakness (2), critical illness myopathy (CIM), critical illness polyneuropathy (CIP), critical illness polineuromyopathy (3), or critical illness neuromyopathy (CINM) (4).

Introduction A broad spectrum of micronutrients (vitamins and trace elements) are involved in host processes during viral infections (VI). Upon entering the target cell, viruses develop strategies to hijack the host metabolism in the cytosol (1) and in organelles (2, 3) for the replication of their own genome, thus weakening host responses, which is a factor in poorer outcomes. A depletion of the host micronutrient stores and redox imbalance may ensue, prompting supplementation.

Chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, and arthritis, constitute significant causes of morbidity and mortality on a global scale, with their prevalence steadily rising across all age groups, genders, and ethnicities (1). Growing evidence indicates that precision nutrition plays a crucial role in the prevention and management of chronic diseases, garnering recognition as a key area of focus for health research in the next decade (2, 3).
