How does Nano-San® work?
The silver ions in the fabric work against bacteria, viruses, and bacteria in many ways. The harmful organisms are killed and cell division and multiplication is halted. Colloidal silver functions as a catalyst by rendering enzymes ineffective that are needed by bacteria, viruses and fungi for their metabolism. Unlike for antibiotics, resistant strains have not been observed. Antibiotics are effective only against about a dozen bacteria and fungi, but not against viruses.
Nano-San® is a product with lifelong effectiveness that protects itself against infection.
Silver is antiseptic - this has been known for 3,000 years.
Doctors have long used silver and silver compounds to treat burns and disinfect. Our grandmothers also knew the benefits of the precious metal in the home. They put a silver coin in the milk jug to make the milk keep longer. The "fine society" drank from silver goblets and the capitain on sailing vessels had a silver-lined bucket so that his water didn't go bad.
The saying "born with a silver spoon in his mouth" was not associated directly with wealth, but with the antiseptic effect.
Today we have the opportunity to use this know-how to make products with the desired properties.
