Chitozan Health’s patented silver chitosan (glucosamine) formulas have been proven to provide outstanding eradication of harmful bacteria, fungus, and viruses with out causing cross-adaptation or inducing resistance.

Our advanced formula of silver chitosan was developed using our NIH NIAID grant award. this new formula contains 32 times less silver than any silver antimicrobial finish on the market today. Electron microscopy (TEM) has shown that all silver particles are larger than 100nm, above the recognized nano-particle range. silver shell finish has passed multiple tests and was shown to pose no inhalation, ocular, oral, or dermal risk. Silver shell may pass as an EPA Category IV, minimal risk. It is safer tha handle.

Treated textiles have withstood 75 commercial and home washes without a loss of efficacy. Treated textiles remain soft and supple to touch.

Over 50 efficacy tests on finished textiles have proven that our Advanced Silver Shell textile finish achieves a sustained kill of bacteria of 99.999% ( 5 log 10) or better. Independent laboratory testing at GMP and ISO registered facilities show effectiveness against a broad spectrum of harmful strains of bacteria and fungus. these include strains of greatest concern to health organizations:

C-diff, E-coli, K. pneumonia, A. baumannii, Candida auris and Candida albicans, SARS CoV-2, Covid 19, MRSA, VRSA, VRE, ciprofloxacin resistant S. aureus, Gentamicin resistant P. aeruginosa, Salmonella, E. coli, and more.

Glucosil and Silver Shell have also been shown suitable for mature biofilm eradication.
