Coronavirus is on most people’s minds at the moment; it’s a dangerous and scary thing for many, so what can we do to reduce our risk of catching and spreading it? The most important thing you can do is to wash your hands thoroughly (for about 30 seconds) and often with plain old soap and water. It’s much more effective at disarming viruses than using hand sanitiser or wet wipes.
We’ve found a few other anti-viral protection products that can help you in your immunity battle – especially when you’re out & about and not somewhere where there’s no access to soap and running water.

Ingredients: hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, peppermint and garlic. - Hubner ImmunPRO infection blocker tablets: £15.99, Holland & Barrett
The active ingredient in Hubners ImmunPRO Infection Blocker has been shown to create a physical barrier in the mouth and throat against viruses. Cistus villosus is naturally rich in tannins (polyphenols), which, due to their large molecular structure, are not reabsorbed, but instead form a protective film that prevents viruses from penetrating the mucous membrane of the mouth preventing a virus docking with host cells.
