I have a virol bottle in front of me and to quote it says:- A preparation of bone-marrow an ideal fat food for children & invalids
I've not found Virol since, and I've tried 'malt extract' but it's not quite the same thing. The closest in taste is Barley Malt Extract - but the Meridian brand makes no statements about vitamins...

Yes, malt extract and malt powder are both derived from malted barley, but they are not interchangeable in all recipes. Malt extract is a concentrated syrup made from malted barley, while malt powder is a dried form of malt extract. Malt extract is typically used in brewing beer or baking, while malt powder is often used as a flavoring or sweetener in beverages or desserts. The different forms may have varying levels of sweetness, moisture content, and flavor intensity, so it's important to consider these factors when substituting one for the other in a recipe.

To convert DME (dry malt extract) to LME (liquid malt extract), you can dissolve the DME in water at a ratio of 1:1. This means for every ounce of DME, you would add one ounce of water. Stir the mixture until the DME is fully dissolved to create a liquid malt extract.
The one I remember was called Viral.
