Introduction: The SARS-CoV-2 that causes Covid-19 not only affects the immune system, but also confinement has a great impact on the mental and physiological health of the population. Objective: To describe bioactive compounds of food that improves mood and their influence on strengthening the immune system of the population, during the Covid-19 pandemic. Material and method: Databases such as Google Scholar and PubMed (MEDLINE) were consulted, and original and review articles were included. Results: The bioactive components present in food such as probiotics, tryptophan, L-Theanine improve mood (sadness, anger, anguish), even can reduce levels of stress, anxiety and depression. Probiotics, L-Theanine, antioxidants such as vitamin C, tryptophan and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D and E) showed a positive impact on the immune system. Conclusion: According to our review, the main compounds in promoting a calm and relax mood are tryptophan, L-Theanine and polyphenols found in Blueberries and Concord class purple grapes among others. Lactobacillus probiotics and Bifidobacterium probiotics improve anxiety and depression. Also, it has been studied the effect in the immune response of vitamins A, D, E and C, such as Lactobacillus probiotics. Lastly, probiotics and L-Theanine stand out in improving mood and immune response.
