Viracid & Virakid

Viral respiratory infections are on their way! Viracid is one way you can help your immune system recover more efficiently.  Viracid is a combination of powerful nutrients and botanical extracts. It contains the active form of black elderberry which helps supercharge immune pathways to eliminate foreign invaders. Astragalus root extract is also in this product. It supports and boosts our immune cell turnover rate for maximum efficiency. Paniculata Leaf Extract and Echinacea have been used for centuries to help decrease sore throats and nasal secretions and work as antioxidants. Viracid can be taken hourly for the first day of viral infection for immediate immune support or daily for immune maintenance.  If you're looking for a children's version try ViraKid which provides the same health benefits in a kid friendly blend.
