FAQs

How does the Ion Gel ZCM-25® work?

It provides micro-nutritional and anti-inflammatory benefits to enhance regeneration. It increases antioxidant effects by reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS), improving wound healing, decreasing healing time, reducing skin pH, and providing antimicrobial effects.

How is Ion Gel ZCM-25® used?

Apply a generous, uniform layer of Ion Gel ZCM-25® around an open wound, ensuring a thickness of about 0.50 mm and maintaining a distance of 10 mm from the wound's edge. Use the cone tip dispenser while wearing a surgical glove. If the wound is closed or covered with a scab, you may apply the gel directly onto it.

Do not use a metal applicator or allow Ion Gel ZCM-25® to contact any type of metal.
Do not use uncertified latex gloves to apply Ion Gel ZMC-25®. Proper sterilized surgical healthcare-approved gloves or a clean applicator should be used.

Allow the formula to absorb naturally into the skin; it is unnecessary to "rub" it. It should be completely absorbed within 2 minutes.

What are the benefits of using Ion Gel ZCM-25®?

Biocide, easy application, does not require hospitalization for administration, lower incidence of hospitalization, lower risk of hospital-acquired infection, and low cellular toxicity. It has a low molecular weight transport system providing deep tissue penetration through the skin that provides polarity movement to the target.

Reduces oxidative stress and helps heal wounds. Multiple certified clinical studies and tests carried out on the product scientifically support its antibacterial activity (including tests with multi-resistant strains), antifungal, antibiofilm, and virucidal activity shown against SARS-CoV-2 strains.

What is your mechanism of action – MOA?

All outer cell membranes have a stable electrical microcurrent, called "membrane potential,” representing the difference in voltages between the inside and outside of the cell. When the cell membrane comes into contact with the ions, an alteration in the voltage of the membrane occurs, weakening it and causing it to rupture. Once the free ion has entered the cell, the metals act by inhibiting a series of biochemical reactions catalyzed by enzymes. In this way, vital processes can be impeded, and consequently, cell death occurs. Several recent studies demonstrate zinc’s ability to inhibit viral replication, immunomodulator, and as an antioxidant contributor in SOD production. The mechanism of action(s) of this compound supported with studies is believed to be:
MoA 1 - A nontoxic nutrient uptake to the aerobic cell, and a toxic overload to the anaerobic cell.
MoA 2 - Redox potential at a minimum of 450 Mv. reducing radical electrons and oxidation (inflammation)
MoA 3 - Antioxidant ORAC value of 1026 microM TE (oxygen radical absorbance capacity)
MoA 4 - Highly systemic pH of under 1 having ionic polarity movement in living species.
MoA 5 - Topical permeability dispersed through interstitial fluids and absorbed at the cellular level.
MoA 6 - Precursor to the production of the enzymatic version of Zn +2 Cu +2 Superoxide Dismutase.
MoA 7 - Increases the metabolic pathways of apoptosis and normal cell signaling.
MoA 8 - Mimicking reactive oxygen species, reactive nitrogen species, and reactive sulfur species.

What are the active ingredients?

A Hexa-aqua ligand system having the cellular delivery of its cationic metals and ionic salts:

The Zinc cations (Zn+2) appears to increase the microbicidal activity of macrophages while limiting excessive inflammatory responses to the host. Adding the nutritional benefits that zinc brings to the immune system.

Cationic zinc maintains an exceptional profile as antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant, and a mediator of an inflammatory response. It reduces the formation of free radicals and decreases the production of cytokines. It has multiple inhibitory effects on biocidal activities, as in glycolysis and glucosyltransferase production, polysaccharide synthesis, transmembrane proton translocation, and acid tolerance. Zinc has an immunomodulatory activity that interferes with interferon regulation and increases its antiviral activity by acting as an ionophore. It increases its antiviral activity by inhibiting different viral replications.

The antagonistically balanced formula uses Zinc and Copper cations (Cu+2) that are used by macrophages in host defense strategies through various modes, including acute and delayed generation of reactive oxygen spec and as iron export as a means to limiting bacterial growth.

Cationic copper plays a crucial role in the synthesis and stabilization of skin proteins. This essential mineral plays a critical role in several physiological and metabolic processes. It contains a comprehensive spectrum as a potent biocide, and its effectiveness in this area has been exploited for centuries. Fungi, viruses and bacteria, both gram-positive and negative, including multi-resistant bacteria cannot process a copper overload.

Magnesium cations (Mg+2) have antibacterial activity, and a decrease in the bacterial adhesion capacity, avoiding the formation of biofilm, delivers APT to the cell. A multitude of known Mg benefits in cell pathway signaling. Cationic magnesium is a primary essential micronutrient in various biological processes. A topical administration of magnesium is one of the oldest forms of therapy for treating dermatological diseases.

Cationic Amine (NH4+) in the formulation supports amino acid production.

Sulfur in the form of a sulfate anion (HSO4-). Sulfur plays an essential role in the body and is necessary for the synthesis of specific vital proteins.

Cationic Hydrogen (H+) delivers the antioxidant benefits of hydrogen. Reduce Oxidative stress in the cell results from the robust oxidizing potential of excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) coming from hydrogen bonding.
