ZENSAH FIGHTS BACTERIA
|
The threat of MRSA-Staph Infection is significant, among athletes. Wearing Zensah provides a first line of defense.
Silver is universally known to be an antibiotic substance, fighting the growth of bacteria, viruses, and fungi by disabling the specific enzyme they utilize for metabolism. Colloidal silver is widely used in the medical industry as a disinfectant because of its characteristics as non-toxic, tasteless, and extremely effective . An EDS test previously concluded that ZENSAH™ performance apparel contains silver particles, and the biological effects of this on bacteria growth was qualitatively measured.
Testing of bacteria growth was run on six samples of ZENSAH™ performance apparel, and visually compared to bacteria growth under identical conditions of a cotton competitor. Three inch circular swaths of both materials were exposed to E .coli cells expressing a “blue” protein. The samples were then placed on plates of a growth media and incubated at 37ºC for 24 hours. Cell growth can be seen.
Bacteria growth is visible by the dark blue spotting on the fabric swaths. ZENSAH™ performance apparel clearly has significantly less bacteria cell growth.
