Viracid
Ortho Molecular Products
Overview
Viracid combines vitamins, minerals, and herbal extracts to potentially support immune function. While Vitamin C is present in a beneficial dose, other ingredients are present at levels that may only provide a mild benefit. The frequent dosing for immediate support may improve the efficacy, but this is not supported by specific clinical trials on this product.
The Good

The Bad
