In contact sports, athletes are at risk of contracting several skin infections due to close physical interactions and shared equipment. Left unchecked these infections can cause serious health issues and even force a gym to close. These infections can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. Here are the main types of skin issues athletes might encounter:

  1. Bacterial Infections:
  2. Viral Infections:
  3. Fungal Infections:
  4. Parasitic Infections:

Athletes can reduce their risk of infection by maintaining good hygiene, using protective barriers (like moisture-wicking fabrics), not sharing personal items (towels, clothing), and practicing proper wound care. With Full Guard you give yourself a powerful barrier to use at any time when you train. Stopping infections in their tracks.

Coaches and trainers often enforce strict hygiene protocols in team settings to further prevent the spread of infections.

Hypochlorous Compound (HOCl): The Science Behind Full Guard

The active ingredient in Full Guard, hypochlorous compound (HOCl), is a naturally occurring molecule produced by the human immune system as a first-line defense against pathogens.

It is synthesized by white blood cells during the immune response to combat bacteria, fungi, and viruses effectively. HOCl works by disrupting the cell membranes of harmful microorganisms, causing them to break down without harming human cells.

Unlike synthetic disinfectants, HOCl is non-toxic, non-irritating, and biodegradable, making it one of the safest and most natural antimicrobial agents available.

Scientific studies have demonstrated its exceptional ability to eliminate tested pathogens, including resistant strains like MRSA, while being gentle on skin and free of harmful residues. In Full Guard, this compound is isolated at an unparalleled purity of 95% with a patented and intensive process, enhancing its stability and potency for pre- and post-training use as well as ensuring long shelf life.

This ensures athletes benefit from advanced hygiene without compromising their skin’s health, allowing them to stay infection-free and perform at their peak.

"I did everything they said I should..."

Nothing can make you 100% safe from picking up a dermatological issue from close contact.

And often if you do contract something the treatment can be a lengthy course of antibiotics, weeks away from training and even a trip to hospital.

These issues can be serious. Full Guard is the way to fight back, giving you another level of immediate powerful defence on top of your regular and essential hygiene routine.

FAQs

No, Full Guard (95% pure HOCl) is designed to target harmful pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and fungi, but it does not disrupt the natural microbiome of healthy skin any more than taking a soapy shower.
