Please note if you are using the product for a chronic viral problem such as herpes or hepatitis rather than an acute problem such as a cold, then it will need to be taken for several months taking not less then 3 capsules twice a day.

Lapacho Formula containse herbs traditionally associated with control and combatting of viruses, and should be a welcome addition to the limited antiviral armoury of natural therapeutics. It is also a powerful general immune booster. Although we use it mostly for colds and flu's, all acute or chronic viral infections might benefit from its use, either alone or adjunctively with the usual antiviral nutrients such as zinc, vitamin A and vitamin C, and immune boosting minerals like selenium - all found in Antioxidant Supreme as well as an anti viral and immune boosting oxyenator such as Oxygen Elements Max.

Some of the herbs in this product are reputed to stimulate the immune system such as astralagus, uno de gato and reishi, whereas the other herbs in the formulation have been selected because of their traditional use in combatting viruses.

This is our most expensive herbal product, containing 45 capsules whereas the others contain 60 for the same price. This is because the herbs contained therein are expensive.

For stubborn colds and flus try taking 4 capsules three times a day until relief is obtained and for up to a couple of weeks afterwards if you want to strengthen the immune system generally.
