A detailed explanation of the safety of weakly acidic hypochlorous acid water.

Hypochlorous acid is present in large amounts in the body. It is one of the main peroxides and reactive oxygen species in the body, and is a key component when a type of white blood cell, such as neutrophils and macrophages, recognizes, engulfs, and breaks down foreign substances (bacteria, viruses, waste) and toxins in the body. Therefore, hypochlorous acid is an essential component widely distributed in living organisms. 【Overview (Excerpt)】 ■ Produced by food additive generation equipment (Notice from the Food Safety Division, Pharmaceutical and Food Safety Bureau, Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, August 25, 2004) ■ Considered safe based on data from the Food, Agriculture, and Pharmaceutical Safety Evaluation Center regarding electrolyzed water with the same disinfecting component ■ Does not induce mutagenic gene mutations ■ A clear manifestation of cytotoxicity is observed when the concentration in the colony formation inhibition test culture medium exceeds 12.5%, indicating that it has the potential to induce cytotoxicity. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
