Hyderabad-based institute, Centre for Cellular & Molecular Biology ( CCMB ) has tested I2Cure BioShield lotion and found it to be 97 per cent efficacious in Sars-Cov-2 virus deduction within 5 minutes.The experimental test was performed and examined by the leading Scientist-in-charge at CCMB, Dr. B. Kiran Kumar. It was done in duplicates and the values were averaged to calculate the percentage of viral reduction , stated the release.I2Cure BioShield comprises only Molecular Iodine(I2) isolated at 1500 ppm(1500 parts per million) stabilized in 100% vegetable grade Glycerine. A one-time application of BioShield delivers free molecular iodine directly into the epidermis & leaves no stain or smell. This prevents it from being washed away or rubbed off. Once inside, it diffuses back to the surface of the skin & kills any viral, bacterial, and fungal load showing persistent activity for up to 6 hours.Since BioShield is competent in breaking down the viral load at the host level, it is certainly going to limit the transmission up to a higher level.
