ZYMOX®
Utilizes the combination of Laxoperoxidase, Lysozyme and Lactoferrin enzymesto provide a potent and safe treatment for bacterial and fungal and viral infections of cats, dogs, horses, etc.
LysozymeAn enzyme present in milk and egg whites.
Lysozyme kills bacteria by disrupting the formation of a glycosidic bond between the two components of peptidoglycan, a constituent of the bacterial cell wall.
Lysozyme is effective against a number of bacteria including Escherichia coli and Salmonellae.
Lactoferrin An iron binding protein. It is found naturally in cow and human milk, tears, saliva, seminal fluid and in some white blood cells.
Lactoferrin is only partially saturated with iron (5 to 30 percent) so it has a high affinity towards iron.
Lactoferrin is bacteristatic against a wide range of microorganisms including gram-negative (coliforms) and gram-positive (staphylcoccus) bacteria.
Lactoferrin has the potential to inhibit the growth of bacteria and kill them by depriving them of iron, which is vital for bacterial growth.
Zymox Topical Cream provides a natural and effective way to aid in the treatment of skin infections. The enzymes in Zymox install a natural protective topical barrier that creates an active residual effect that kills bacteria, fungus and viruses. No antibiotics are present or necessary. Hydrocortisone helps relieve and reduce inflammation on affected area.
