How does it work?
|
|
| Ans |
|
Bug Zero is a vitamin based formula that is absorbed directly through the skin and circulated by your body’s natural ability to process vitamins. When excess Thiamin B1 is absorbed by the body, it gets released through your skin’s sweat pores. The scent of B1 is unattractive to mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are normally attracted to the CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) that is emitted through the skin pores and breath. The scent of B1 helps mask your normal human scent creating an invisible “forcefield” that gives extra protection against mosquitoes, without any smell that is offensive to humans |

Why a patch? |
|
| Ans |
|
Bug Zero patch uses an advanced micro-layer technology that allows the active ingredients to be time-released into the skin for maximum absorption and lasting effect. This is effective for several reasons. Delivery through the skin is the fastest. The ingredients will begin to circulate immediately providing full protection within 2 hours. Also, less of the ingredient is needed as compared to taking it orally (pill or liquid) because it does not need to get filtered out through the liver and digestive tract. It is also extremely convenient, lightweight, easy to pack, share, and use on children. |
