In this context, social media platforms, particularly X (formerly Twitter), provide a unique opportunity to gather large-scale public health-related data. Objectives In this study, we aimed to survey participants? uses and opinions on nutritional supplements in prevention or treatment of respiratory tract infections, by using X. Methods A survey was conducted between 1st and 15th December 2022. A single open-ended question ?Which are the best dietary supplements to counteract respiratory infections?? was asked. One week after the start of the survey, a poll was posted to get more relevant information and boost the survey?s reach. Total endorsements were calculated for each tweet posted as the total sum of replies, retweets, and likes. Results The open-ended question received a total of 118 retweets, 39 quotes, and 371 likes, while the poll received 56 retweets, 13 quotes, and 67 likes. A total of 495 replies, 2,251 retweets, 5,118 likes, and 148 quotes were received for the question and its related tweets. Vitamin D (1,607 endorsements), zinc (1,347 endorsements), vitamin C (803 endorsements), magnesium (694 endorsements), and honey (661 endorsements) were the nutritional supplements that received most endorsements. Conclusion Various foods, drinks, and natural ingredients have been suggested as potentially helpful for counteracting respiratory infections. Approximately half of respondents indicated using such supplements for themselves. The result of this study supports the idea that the X platform can be used as an effective survey tool to study global health-related behaviours and trends.
