- Has many health benefits but has also been gaining popularity in the functional medicine arena due to its potential anti-microbial properties.
- Used to support the immune system in fighting viral health concerns such as shingles, herpes, Epstein Barr Virus and the common cold and flu.
- One scientific article (1) indicates that Monolaurin can be effective against bacterial and viral pathogens in the use of alternative medicine. Another study touts the effectiveness of Monolaurin against Staphylococcus Aureus (2).
- Has been shown to treat infections caused by a large number of viruses as well as bacteria, parasitic protozoans, and fungi.
- A phytochemical in olive leaf, called oleuropein, can stop viruses in their tracks. Oleuropein destroys the enzymes that are important for the virus to replicate itself and spread throughout the host.
- A 2017 study found that olive leaf extract was effective as an antimicrobial agent that eliminated foodborne pathogens, such as E. coli and salmonella. (3).
- Olive leaf dosage normally ranges from 500–1,000 milligrams daily. It is generally safe to take olive leaf extract everyday under the guidance of your healthcare professional. Some people may experience certain side effects like stomach pain, headaches, dizziness, or heartburn.
- Cat’s claw (Uncaria tomentosa) is found mainly in the Amazon rainforest and in other tropical areas of South and Central America. Cat’s claw has been used for centuries in South America as a traditional medicine for many conditions such as inflammation, and infections.

At Covalis we practice synergy in all our formulations. Viracate can be a powerful tool as preventative immune support during an onslaught of pathogenic variants or as a direct treatment for a specific infection. At Covalis we recommend you consult with a healthcare professional before starting any supplement regimen.
Additional Comments:
Viracate is extremely well tolerated and many users may notice rapid benefits. The recommended dosage is 1 capsule with each meal. Larger doses may be considered if used for therapeutic applications and lesser doses may be used for preventative measures. Some users may experience mild gastrointestinal upset which is why Viracate is best taken with meals. We always recommend a healthcare provider's supervision when initiating a supplement regimen.
