It was intended to be a nutritional supplement for infants, undernourished children, and invalids. Ingredients: The primary ingredient was bone marrow, often from ox rib and calf bones, along with malt extract, egg, and lemon syrup. History: Initially an experimental product by Bovril, a separate company was formed in 1900 to manufacture Virol. Production ceased during World War II due to ingredient scarcity.
