CLEANSE THOSE IRRITATED LIP & SKIN SPOTS

---

Zap-H™ contains a combination of ingredients that brings about rapid skin absorption, leading to the rapid hydration of targeted lip and skin areas that show signs of irritation.  This results in the cleansing of such irritated and/or broken lip and skin areas, including those around an infected sore. (It is not indicated to treat an infection, such as an abscess!)

The cleansing action is due to Zap-H™ detergent-like effects.  

This is not a drug effect (see *Note below).  Rather, Zap-H™ acts as a biologic “detergent”.  Just as detergents dissolve oils and grease, Zap-H™ dissolves oily substances, lipids, on the lips and skin, which has a secondary effect on the local microbes present in such irritated lip and skin regions.  The cleansing action is known to reduce potential for the spread of an infection. 

Certain compounds in mother’s milk, namely monolaurin, are known to have protective effects for the fetus against viruses and other pathogenic microorganisms.  The importance of monolaurin in mother’s milk is that if you take the water out of milk, monolaurin comprises 20% (1.5) of the non-water, solids. Monolaurin and other related compounds are a part of the Zap-H™ formulation. Some of these mother’s milk compounds are also found in coconut oil.  In fact, monolaurin makes up 45% of coconut oil. Coconut oil has been touted as a topical agent for skin conditions. However, coconut oil alone, without the additional Zap-H™ plant-based derivatives, does not have the “detergent” effects as does the Zap-H™ formulation.  And coconut oil contains additional oils that can act as barriers that consequently prevent absorption.  In summary, Zap-H™ has beneficial effects on irritated lip and skin areas due to its water-based formulation, with rapid absorption and hydration generating a cleansing effect. all of which results from the unique combination of ingredients. 

Zap-H™ contains no drugs.  All ingredients are safe and approved compounds for human use and/or for topical application.  

                This can be highlighted by the fact that the key ingredients in Zap-H™ consist of oils and fatty acids that are also found in mothers' milk {“The Body’s Own”} and coconut oil.  

What could be more “natural” than packaging the body’s own molecules?  

We put the body’s own ingredients, namely monolaurin, into a package for your convenient use and enhanced their performance by combining them with a special blend of safe, and mostly food grade ingredients. 

* NOTE: NOT A DRUG  

 Zap-H™ is termed a biologic detergent (bio-detergent™) and is not a drug, having no drug-like effects. Functioning as a detergent, Zap-H™ acts primarily as a lip and skin cleansing cream.  

In addition to cleaning effects, detergents are known to have broad-spectrum effects on numerous and varying types of microbial organisms.  Detergents act by disrupting the lipid-bilayer that is a part of the outer structure of microbial pathogens (e.g., bacteria, fungi, and viruses).   In this way, detergents that clean the lips and skin, also have the propensity to get rid of microbial pathogens that "seed" [i.e., adhere to the surface of] the skin.  Furthermore, such a cleaning mechanism by detergents can lessen or prevent the spread of an infection. 

*NOTE: Detergents and/or Zap-H™ are not indicated to treat or be applied onto deep infections, or abscesses. 

A drug targets a specific biological pathway or molecule in a single type of microbe and, in most instances, does not have a broad-spectrum effect. It generally targets only one type of microbe. For example, a drug is either an antiviral, antibacterial or antifungal agent, and generally does not target more than one of these types.  

Detergents do not target a specific biological pathway or molecule, rather they act by physical means.  Detergents physically work their way into the molecular structure of the protective outer membranes of microorganisms, which acts to disrupt and weaken this outer microbial protective structure, rendering such pathogens nonfunctional.  Monolaurin, similarly, has been shown to dissolve into the oil-like, lipid microbial membranes, which disrupts their stability.  In this way, the monolaurin present in Zap-H™ has essentially the same effect as do synthetic detergents - it has a broad-spectrum destabilizing effect on microbial membranes. 

Zap-H™ as a bio-detergent™ is an improvement over synthetic detergents as it consists of biological compounds found in nature.  Because the ingredients are natural biological compounds, after the cream is absorbed, the body can metabolize them (i.e., break down the molecules) leaving no toxic residue.  Ultimately this makes Zap-H™ immensely safer to apply topically. 

NOTE - The discussion herein is a brief description of how Zap-H™ works and is not meant to suggest medical advice.  The discussion herein is not intended to provide a comprehensive review, rather it provides general information so you can start to assess your situation with your doctor on how best to treat your symptoms.
