What is hypochlorous acid and how is it produced in the body?

Justin Gardner 0:00
Hyperchloric acid is the same molecule your white blood cells produce. So you get cut, scraped, burned, any type of skin damage, your body's natural immune response is to send white blood cells to that injury.
Dr. Tyna Moore 0:10
I would deal with open wounds and one of the things that I did was literally massage PRP.
Justin Gardner 0:15
Everything goes through the same manufacturing process that goes into a hospital.

What are the clinical origins and applications of hypochlorous acid?

Justin Gardner 0:19
If you are using it on open skin, you know it's the same process that we use for our surgical.
Dr. Tyna Moore 0:25
You are tuned into The Dr. Tina Show with Dr. Tina Moore. For more, visit drtina.com. Justin Gardner, thanks so much for coming on the show today. I'm glad to have you.
Justin Gardner 0:36
Thank you for having me.
Dr. Tyna Moore 0:37
Yeah. So we're going to talk about skin and hypochlorous acid. And I'm super excited because I have been using your product for years and years and years. And I think we have some fun stories to discuss. So I'm glad to have you here.

How does hypochlorous acid compare to traditional wound care solutions?

Dr. Tyna Moore 0:50
Okay. First off, tell me about hypochlorous acid and what it is, because I think there's a lot of misunderstanding out there.
Justin Gardner 0:57
So the easiest way I like to explain it is, hyperchlorous acid is the same molecule your white blood cells produce. So if you get cut, scraped, burned, any type of skin damage, your body's natural immune response is to send white blood cells to that injury. Inside the white blood cells is hyperchlorous acid.

Is hypochlorous acid effective against MRSA and other infections?

Justin Gardner 1:14
And it's your body's natural mechanism to help fight off foreign pathogens, so to kill off any bacteria. It also is your body's natural mechanism to help reduce the inflammatory response. and to support the natural healing process. And so what we've been able to do, and hyperchlorous, again, is innate to the immune system. Scientists figure out how to replicate it over a hundred years ago, but we're now able to replicate it and stabilize it into a formulation so you can put it into a topical solution that you can now apply to your skin the same way that your body's working internally. And so what you get is a really powerful natural non-toxic antimicrobial that also helps with things like inflammation.
Dr. Tyna Moore 2:02
So it is all the rage these days with the young people on TikTok. And I think that's how most people might know it who are listening to the show. As part of a multi-step skincare routine, all the girlies are spraying it on their face. But I know this from the regenerative medicine world.

How does hypochlorous acid disrupt biofilms in wound care?

Dr. Tyna Moore 2:19
So my background was I did regenerative injection therapies for decades. And I used to take brigades of medical and naturopathic doctors down to Mexico. And we would treat hundreds of people in the local hospitals there. And these were people who wouldn't be able to receive care otherwise. And we had to keep costs low.

What are the benefits of hypochlorous acid for skin issues?

Dr. Tyna Moore 2:37
And prolotherapy is what we were doing. And prolotherapy, I don't know if you're familiar with it, but it's a very... well-tolerated treatment where you utilize dextrose to regenerate the joints, basically. But you have to do intraarticular. And a lot of these patients had diabetes or other comorbidities that would put them at high risk for infection. So that was always the big concern was like, do not. And we've got hundreds of people coming through at a high pace. And like the risk, that was always my biggest concern as one of the facilitators was like, please, God, do not give any of these patients a joint infection, because that would be the end of it. And so they were using hypochlorous acid as a spray.
Dr. Tyna Moore 3:15
And I was like, how is this water?

How should hypochlorous acid be incorporated into skincare routines?

Dr. Tyna Moore 3:16
I'd never heard of it. And this was like 10 years ago. And I'm like, how does this water spray disinfect the joint? It didn't seem right. I was like, this isn't... But then one of the orthopedic surgeons on the brigade did a whole lecture on it and he compared it to chlorhexidine. He compared it to iodine and all the other preps that we would do normally. And it just outshined all of them. And it was so inexpensive and it was so great. And then I came back to the States and I couldn't find it anywhere. And the only place I could find it was in veterinary medicine.

What unique formulation aspects make hypochlorous acid safe for use?

Dr. Tyna Moore 3:48
Um, so the feed store, you know, the Wilco or the tractor supply or whatever.
