What is Hypochlorous Acid?(HOCI)

HOCI is generated when white blood cells attack harmful bacteria and is harmless to the human body. In December 2019 Optometry Times published an article on HOCl and they explain it much better than I can… “HOCl is a weak acid that occurs naturally in our body. Neutrophils are white blood cells that are the first to arrive on site when an invading pathogen is detected. Neutrophils will chase down and engulf the pathogen through phagocytosis. Upon contact, neutrophils release a burst of bactericidal chemicals including its most powerful oxidising agent, HOCl. This kills the pathogen by tearing down the cell membranes and proteins”. HOCI is kinder but more effective than bleach. It is completely safe for humans, animals and plants.
