Our Technology: Harnessing the Power of Fatty Acids

Fatty acids have strong antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral activity. But their solubility in water poses a challenge to using them in a clinical setting. We have developed a powerful, next-generation, and safe solution to this; by using amino acids, part of everyday foods, we have developed a method to get the fatty acids to solubilize in water. We are leveraging this patented platform to let the fatty acids shine. This platform opens the door to a multitude of applications in healthcare, agriculture, and more.

For over 10 years we have been refining and testing several formulations with more than 10 different fatty acids. Each has its own unique applications. The advantages of using fatty acids as therapeutics include:

High-efficacy

High levels of potency in treating infectious organisms.

Excellent safety

Water solubility means nasty solvents aren't required. And since fatty acids naturally occur in our diet, they are well tolerated. Can be applied topically.

Broad spectrum

Activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, fungi and viruses.

Combats resistance

No evidence of resistance development during standardized testing (GS-1).

Long lasting

Our formulation remains active, conferring ongoing protection against infections.

Environmentally Friendly

No harmful chemicals, water-based, and naturally occurring active ingredients.

Threat

Wintermute compounds have demonstrated efficacy for a wide range of organisms; most of which make up the CDC’s Biggest Threats list
