The Science of Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl)
How It Works
Hypochlorous Acid is a naturally occurring molecule produced by white blood cells to fight infection. VETShield replicates this nature-identical molecule to provide a powerful antimicrobial punch without damaging healthy tissue.
Research Backing
Bactericidal Efficacy
Effective against common equine pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.
​
​
Biofilm Disruption
Research shows HOCl is effective in breaking down biofilms in chronic equine wounds, a key factor in delayed healing.
​
Safety
Studies indicate that HOCl does not harm ocular (eye) tissues or mucous membranes, making it safer than traditional disinfectants like bleach or peroxide.
