Benzalkonium chloride has traditionally been used in laboratories for cold sterilization. Though it has been found to be primarily non-irritating to skin, the natural characteristic is one of rapid dissipation. You will see this in the few other products that contain benzalkonium chloride that are on the market. They will only be effective agains the bacteria that it can touch, and then **poof** it dissipates on the surface.
Our formulas are like no other in the industry because..... they are formulated to have the benzalkonium chloride REMAIN ACTIVE suspended in healing moisturizers and skin conditioners unsurpassed in its ability to PENETRATE the affected tissues. It contains no harsh detergents or agents which can have residual or irritating effects on the skin. The products actually sooth the affected tissue while the active ingredient can do its job erradicating the bacteria and/or fungus. The healing rate is astonishing.
Here's a Concept to consider:
When you think about it, our horses and dogs lay, sleep and walk on
the ground (dirt, sand & grass).
A significant amount of their skin problems are quite
simply associated with the bacteria and fungus picked up from
their environment.
Bacteria can cause itching full body, feet and/or hot spots as
well as infection (on broken tissue such as wounds or open
lesions).
Fungus is rooted deeper in the dermal layers which makes it harder to
reach and erradicate.
Our Gentle Broad Spectrum Antimicrobial Solutions will effectively
eliminate 99.9% of topical bacteria on contact.
... and penetrate to reach fungus below the skin surface.
The new technology of these formulas has been tested extensively by Independant Laboratories against povidone-iodine, chlorhexidine gluconate, triclosan and other antibacterial products with exceedingly positive results. It was shown that antibacterials were 16.4% effective against specific bacteria, while Equine Relief Antimicrobials have a 99.9% efficiency rate without damage to skin tissue. An Independant Laboratory that tested against Betadine and Hibiclens, found it to have the same power but twice as fast... but more importantly without any discomfort, irritation or discoloration with extended use. However, we reiterate that though the effectiveness in a petri dish is similar to other broad spectrum antimicrobials, Equine and Canine Relief Antimicrobial solutions are unsurpassed in their gentleness and ability to carry their effectiveness deep into the dermal layers.
Equine Elite Labs (who understand the horses and dogs and their owners) have teamed up with the chemists and doctors (skin specialists) to develop what we feel will be a very significant line of products in the relief of many problems that horses experience.
To date, not only have we had no reports of granulated tissue, but everyone who has used Wound Relief and Antimicrobial Spray on fresh wounds has reported "No Granulated Tissue". The healing rate is astonishing veterinarians and animal owners across the country!
Problems with Ringworm, scratches, mud fever and body fungus and rain rot can be relieved in DAYS instead of months! Since the solutions are designed to penetrate.... they can get to where the problems lie. Fungi generally sits deeper in the tissue than regular bacteria. Our "no need to wash off" formulas are immediately effective not only against the bacteria and microbes but fungus as well. New hair growth is generally noticed within 24 to 36 hours.
The Professional Strength White Line Antimicrobial again, will not only relieve the hoof from White Line disease, but will do so without stinging, burning, drying or damaging the healthy tissue. This Professional Strength solution is the strongest of our formulas.
Itching and rubbing of tails and manes are usually the indication of the animal picking up microorganisms or bacteria that feed on the skin tissue. Many times these bacteria are deeper in the tissue which makes ordinary "topicals" relatively ineffective. The Equine Relief Antimicrobial Body Wash will penetrate to immediately and effectively relieve the skin of these invaders on contact! Not only will the animal experience INSTANT relief, but the Body Wash will leave the hair coat soft and shiny. (This solution is not a shampoo & does not strip any of the natural oils from skin or hair) If the weather is too inclimate for bathing, simply 'spot treat' itching areas and do not rinse!
There is no more need to use caustic solutions, fight stains or
messy bottles to eliminate Thrush! Our Thrush Relief will usually
make Thrush disappear in hours! Another great feature is, it is safe
to apply it with your hands!! Not only is it highly effective against
Thrush and leave the healthy hoof tissue HEALTHY ... but it softens
your hands while it renders them bacteria free! IN ADDITION to being
happy that the thrush is now gone, many of our customers have been
THRILLED that they don't need to continually fight it every week!
I need to insert the story of the first time I used this solution: We have a gelding who wears eggbar shoes who had a tendancy to get thrush every few weeks. (for 8 years!) When we first tried the Thrush Relief, I thought to myself "Lets see how long it takes... and what kind of regime we need to follow." When we brought the horses into the barn for the night, I cleaned out "Bucky's" feet... only to find them black, soft and stinking of thrush. I applied some of the Thrush Relief and spread it around with my fingers. The following morning, when I picked up his hooves to apply his "second dose".. I was astounded. It was completely gone... as if he'd never had it. I was rather pleased, but since I hadn't taken any photos, I thought I'd wait the few weeks that it took for him to come down with it again. .... Well, weeks turned into months.... no thrush. .... Finally, my partner said, "Have you noticed it's been 6 months now... and Buck still doesn't have Thrush?" I called Dr. Levi, PhD (who originally developed these solutions for the human medical industry) to ask what was happening here. This is what he said: "Aparently, with the solutions you've used before, the bacteria associated with thrush was killed on the surface of the frog and sole so it appeared to be gone. With bacteria deeper in the tissue, any time the conditions were "right", this bacteria began to grow again resulting in what seemed to be another case of thrush. What has happened THIS time is that the deep lying bacteria was erradicated as well as that on the sole. In time, he may pick up more bacteria from external sources... but for now, you've killed this case of thrush." It took close to a year before it appeared that Buck picked up anything that appeared to be thrush. Of course, any signs of trouble, he get's some of the Thrush Relief poured on. .... which is another reason we don't have photos of thrush on the web site.)
The Antimicrobial Hand Sanitizer is the same formula used in hospitals and laboratories across the country. This gentle solution renders your hands virtually sterile while softening and conditioning the skin. Great for veterinarians and large facilities with many animls. Bacteria, microbes, many topical viruses and fungi are removed on contact..... preventing cross contamination to people and animals.
Through the development of a complete line of broad spectrum antimicrobial products, we are excited about being able to help so many animals and their owners finally find Relief
