Selected condensed tannins; Acerin as Zinc tannates

Viracin™, is an anti-bacterial/anti-viral tannate formula for the GI tract. It combines the most powerful phagicidal and virucidal herbal tannins available. It contains Norwegian Maple fruit, Babul bark and Wild rhubarb (canaigre).

Viracin™ works in the same manner as Tanalbit®: attaching to the outer membrane of the target cell (in this case bacteria) which disables the cell and prevents proliferation and growth.  Like Tanalbit® it is non-toxic with the occasional minimal side effect of constipation and/or diarrhea. If this occurs, reduction in dosage is suggested.

Viracin™ is designed for anti-bacterial use in the GI tract only (it does not work systemically nor can it be used for venereal diseases or diseases requiring intensive drug therapy) however it can help with the immune system in fighting against colds and flu.  Viracin™ capsules are much smaller than Tanalbit® capsules and the dosage is usually about half that of Tanalbit®. 

Suggested dosage:  2-3 capsules, 3 times daily. Best taken before meals or with a meal if cannot tolerate Viracin™ on an empty stomach. Do not take Viracin™ after meals or with other supplements/medications (allow at least 1 hour between supplements) as  Viracin™ needs to work without competition from other supplements/medications. There are no contraindications for Viracin™.
