text: The snapshot of metabolic health in evaluating micronutrient status the risk of infection and clinical outcome of COVID 19 COVID 19 has re established the significance of analyzing the organism through a metabolic perspective to uncover the dynamic interconnections within the biological systems The role of micronutrient status and metabolic health emerge as pivotal in COVID 19 pathogenesis and the immune systems response Metabolic disruption proceeding from modifiable factors has been proposed as a significant risk factor accounting for infection susceptibility disease severity and risk for post COVID complications Metabolomics the comprehensive study and quantification of intermediates and products of metabolism is a rapidly evolving field and a novel tool in biomarker discovery In this article we propose that leveraging insulin resistance biomarkers along with biomarkers of micronutrient deficiencies will allow for a diagnostic window and provide functional therapeutic targets Specifically metabolomics can be applied as a At home test to assess the risk of infection and propose nutritional support b A screening tool for high risk COVID 19 patients to develop serious illness during hospital admission and prioritize medical support c i A tool to match nutritional support with specific nutrient requirements for mildly ill patients to reduce the risk for hospitalization and c ii for critically ill patients to reduce recovery time and risk of post COVID complications d At home test to monitor metabolic health and reduce post COVID symptomatology Metabolic rewiring offers potential virtues towards disease prevention dissection of high risk patients taking actionable therapeutic measures as well as shielding against post COVID syndrome
