In an era where immunity remains a central concern for many Americans, Chicago’s Morning Answer with Dan Proft and Amy Jacobson sat down with healthcare innovator Dr. Michael Huber to discuss his immune-boosting supplement Virago, the lessons of the COVID-19 era, and the evolving landscape of preventative health.
Dr. Huber, a veteran healthcare professional and founder of Immune Enhancement Corporation and VIROMAX, developed Virago during the height of the pandemic to help patients fight off viral infections and avoid hospitalization. His approach was born out of necessity, he explained, as he and his colleagues worked behind the scenes treating COVID-19 patients with a combination of treatments not widely embraced by the mainstream medical establishment at the time.
“We were seeing people die,” Huber said. “The goal was to keep them out of the hospital, not wait until they were already one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel.”
A Unique Liquid Supplement for Immune Support
Unlike most supplements that come in pill form, Virago is a liquid formula. According to Huber, this delivery method not only improves absorption but also activates the body’s immune response starting in the mouth.
“Your immune system begins on your tongue,” Huber noted, explaining that stimulating the bitter taste receptors activates the body’s first line of defense—thinning mucus, speeding up ciliary hair movement in the lungs, and boosting pathogen expulsion.
The formulation includes a blend of powerful immune-supporting compounds, including:
- Bioflavonoids, which help block viruses from binding to cells
- Lactoferrin, found in milk and breast milk, which binds iron and disrupts viral replication
- L-Carnitine, CoQ10, and ECGC, which support mitochondrial function and address “T-cell exhaustion”
- Zinc and other vitamins, critical to immune cell performance
The supplement, Huber said, helps both proactively by boosting immunity and reactively by shortening illness duration.
COVID-19 Inspiration and Future Applications
During the Delta wave of the pandemic, Huber and his team were quietly treating patients using a mix of immune-boosting protocols and off-label therapeutics such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. Many patients, he said, recovered quickly and avoided severe illness.
“I wish we had Virago then,” Huber said. “I believe a lot of lives could have been saved.”
The supplement continues to show promise, not only in viral defense but also in oral health. Huber revealed that Virago is currently being studied for its effects on periodontal disease, including potential regeneration of bone tissue lost to gum disease.
User-Friendly and Accessible
Huber recommends a half-ounce dose of Virago daily for immune maintenance, and a full ounce for those feeling under the weather. While the taste may not be sweet, the efficacy, he insists, makes it worthwhile.
“You can mix it in juice, take it cold, swish it around your mouth for added benefit,” Huber advised. “It’s not about flavor. It’s about function.”
He also emphasized that Virago is safe to take alongside most supplements and medications, including collagen, blood pressure medications, and even ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine. However, he noted that cancer patients on certain immunotherapies should consult a physician first.
