Phospholipids are Anti-Microbial/Anti-Fungal

[Jacob]

Even though phospholipids do wonderful and essential things in the body, our interest is in their antibiotic abilities! Phospholipids display a broad range of anti-irritation effects when combined with anionic surfactants. This includes unusually high substantively, long lasting skin conditioning, and a broad spectrum antimicrobial activity. This makes it an excellent antibacterial addition to our monolaurin.

Clinical studies show our phospholipids have excellent anti-biotic abilities. Below is a listing of specific bacteria, yeasts and molds our phospholipids defend against. Its performance is also not adversely a?ected by solution pH, anionic or nonionic surfactants, or typical preservative deactivators.
