Zinc has been shown to block certain key viral enzymes, which are found inside infected cells and are responsible for the further reproduction of the virus within the body. Once the enzymes are blocked, and viral reproduction has stopped, the body\u2019s immune system then has time to remove the infected cell and halt further progression of the viral infection.<\/p>\n

The Problem <\/strong><\/p>\n

HOWEVER,\u2026.\u00a0 How do you get zinc inside an infected cell where it can be most effective because zinc is a highly controlled mineral inside the body and doesn\u2019t easily move into the cell by itself, even when you take high doses of zinc as a supplement.<\/p>\n

Solution\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Use a Zinc Ionophore, which is a special class of compound that is known to bind with zinc and then move it across the cell membrane and into the cell where it can be most effective. Virocin\u2122 contains one of the few natural Zinc ionophores known to exist.<\/p>\n

Quercetin is a natural Zinc Ionophore, which is capable of moving zinc into an infected cell to block further production of the virus.<\/p>\n

The Problem <\/strong><\/p>\n

HOWEVER,\u2026.\u00a0 Quercetin has low absorption and poor bioavailability, which means the body discards far more Quercetin (around 80% is lost) than it uses. As a result, to be an effective Zinc Ionophore, one would need to take about 5 grams of Quercetin per day.<\/p>\n

Solution\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Virocin\u2122 uses a specialised \u201cbio-enhanced\u201d formulation of Quercetin, and this results in far more Quercetin being absorbed, which is then available for the body to use.<\/p>\n

Virocin\u2122 has overcome the common problem of low absorption and poor bioavailability of Quercetin with its \u201cpatent pending\u201d formulation; requiring just 1 gram per day for a\u00a0 Zinc Ionophore effect.<\/p>\n

Certain “synthetic”<\/strong> versions of Zinc Ionophores have been widely criticised for lacking any significant effect in recent studies.<\/p>\n

The Problem <\/strong><\/p>\n

HOWEVER,\u2026.\u00a0 Many of these “synthetic” Zinc Ionophores tested had examined just the Zinc Ionophore alone, but all\u00a0 Zinc Ionophores need to have sufficient levels of zinc within the body to be effective. By comparison, other studies have shown significant improvement when a daily zinc supplement was added to the Zinc Ionophore. This suggests that many people who start taking a Zinc Ionophore alone may not have sufficient level of zinc in their bodies to start with.\u00a0 Also, many recent studies delayed the start of the zinc ionophore protocol well past the point where increasing cellular zinc would have been effective.<\/p>\n

Solution\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Virocin\u2122 does not rely on someone having naturally high levels of zinc to start with, so we have added extra zinc into the formulation. With Virocin\u2122, you are getting a Zinc Ionophore and a zinc supplement in one capsule. Zinc Ionophores are best consumed on a regular basis to support the body’s immune system before the onset of symptoms or at the first signs. — don’t delay!<\/p>\n

There is a well-known seasonality to certain viral infections. Some researchers have suggested that during summer, many people can achieve higher levels of vitamin D through exposure to sunlight, which helps protect them from seasonal infections and respiratory complications.<\/p>\n

The Problem <\/strong><\/p>\n

HOWEVER,\u2026.\u00a0 Despite the benefits of increasing vitamin D levels naturally from sun exposure, many people are concerned about an increased risk of skin cancer from sun exposure. Population studies from around the world have shown most people are still not obtaining adequate levels of vitamin D, regardless of the season.<\/p>\n

Solution\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

We believe that there is sufficient evidence from published data that low levels of Vitamin D in the blood is an independent risk factor for increasing one\u2019s chances of getting an infection.\u00a0 We added Vitamin D to Virocin\u2122 to further improve the effectiveness of the formulation.<\/p>\n
