Summary

Oscillococcinum is a homeopathic preparation made from a 200C dilution of wild duck heart and liver. This extreme dilution makes it statistically impossible for any original molecules to remain in the final product, which consists of sugar pellets. It has no plausible biological mechanism of action recognized by science and therefore no relevance to healthspan or longevity.

Purpose

Homeopathic remedy claimed to reduce flu symptoms; no healthspan relevance.

Card Summary
