How it works

Hypochlorous is the molecule that white blood cells called neutrophils make to destroy microbes they have engulfed.[3] It reacts within milliseconds with the sulphur-containing parts of proteins, so several vital systems in a microbe fail at once.[4][5] Once released, it breaks down in light to chloride and oxygen, with an estimated half-life of 1 to 4 hours, and it does not build up in living things.[6]

How hypochlorous works
