Ingredients
Anti-Fungal Solution:
The main fungus-eliminating ingredient in our formula is Tolnaftate. This anti-fungal medication is used against a variety of fungal infections, including athlete's foot, jock itch, and ringworm by inhibiting the growth and reproduction of fungal cells. Tolnaftate works by disrupting the structure and function of the fungal cell membrane. Specifically, it interferes with the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of the fungal cell membrane. This leads to changes in the membrane's permeability and disrupts the fungal cell's ability to maintain its shape and structure. As a result, the fungal cell becomes weakened and eventually dies. It is also a fungicidal agent, meaning it has the ability to directly kill the fungal cells, rather than just inhibiting their growth. Tolnaftate is also known for its low toxicity and low potential for side effects, making it a safe and effective treatment option for fungal infections. It can be applied topically as a cream or spray, which allows for targeted delivery to the affected area.
Ceramide III
Ceramide III is a lipid molecule naturally found in the skin. Ceramide III plays an important role in maintaining the barrier function of the skin, which helps to retain moisture and prevent the loss of water from the skin. It plays a vital role in strengthening the nail, and restoring it's health back to normal over time.
