DESCRIPTION

Virafect helps to relieve the symptoms (including sore throat and fever) and shorten the duration of upper respiratory tract infections (colds and flu). It is also used in Herbal Medicine for viral respiratory infections.

Virafect has been specially formulated to treat upper respiratory infections of a viral nature. Andrographis plays a leading role in this formula; it is a herb with a long history of medicinal use in the Far East, where it is valued highly as one of the foremost immune-stimulants and infection fighters.  In addition to andrographis, there are four other expertly chosen herbs that complement and escalate its antimicrobial benefits, while adding an anti-inflammatory effect

St. Francis Herb Farm uses either certified organic or wildcrafted herbs in our Virafect herbal formula.
