Description

Blood sugar (glucose) is both essential for life and dangerous in excess. Outside the blood, for example in urine or sweat, glucose does not appear to provide any benefit, but instead represents a hazard, increasing the risk of infection or other undesirable effects, such as odor or itch.

glucaBAN is formulated to address the risk of infection, odor, and/or itch caused by excreted glucose that is deposited on the skin. SGLT2 inhibitors, a class of drugs that lower blood glucose by causing it to be excreted in urine, can elevate these risks. Even for patients not treated with SGLT2 inhibitors, high blood glucose levels from diabetes can result in glucose excretion when the glucose level in blood exceeds the ability of the kidneys to reabsorb it completely.

How To Use

Direct one squirt to each targeted area (or your fingers) and spread till dry. For the groin, cover the entire area and back to the cleft between the buttocks. For the feet, apply to top and bottom and between the toes. For underarms, include about an inch and a half of skin on the chest around the armpit.

WARNINGS: FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY. MAY CAUSE TRANSIENT STINGING IF APPLIED TO BROKEN OR IRRITATED SKIN. AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES. SUNBURN ALERT: THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS AN ALPHA HYDROXY ACID (AHA) THAT MAY INCREASE YOUR SKIN'S SENSITIVITY TO THE SUN AND PARTICULARLY THE POSSIBILITY OF SUNBURN. USE A SUNSCREEN, WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING, AND LIMIT SUN EXPOSURE WHILE USING THIS PRODUCT AND FOR A WEEK AFTERWARDS.

Ingredients

WATER
Allows glucaBAN to be delivered as a spray.

GLUCONOLACTONE
Has antimicrobial properties and also stabilizes glucose oxidase.

SODIUM BICARBONATE
Brings the pH to between 6 and 7.

DISODIUM COCOYL GLUTAMATE
A detergent created by joining the fatty acids of coconut oil to glutamate, an amino acid. It is a mild surfactant and does not contain sulfate.

SODIUM EDTA
A chelator; a chemical structure that binds iron tightly and thereby deprives microorganisms of iron, a metal essential for all life.

GLUCOSE OXIDASE
Turns glucose in bodily fluids into gluconolactone, which cannot be metabolized by most microorganisms (or humans).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is glucaBAN?

glucaBAN is a spray formulated to inhibit effects of unwanted microbial growth such as itch or odor, which may be exacerbated due to glucose on the skin.

glucaBAN is a spray formulated to inhibit effects of unwanted microbial growth such as itch or odor, which may be exacerbated due to glucose on the skin.

How does glucaBAN work?

The ingredients of glucaBAN work together to protect the skin from unwanted microbial growth.

glucaBAN contains glucose oxidase, an enzyme widely used in the food industry in baked products, beverages, egg-based ingredients and other types of food substances from which it removes glucose and creates hydrogen peroxide, consuming oxygen in the process.

Glucose oxidase turns glucose and oxygen from the air into gluconolactone and hydrogen peroxide. Because most microorganisms cannot metabolize gluconolactone, and are harmed by hydrogen peroxide, glucose oxidase both removes an important energy source and creates an environment that is unfavorable for microbes.

How much glucaBAN should you apply?

One pump of glucaBAN spray is approximately 0.25 mL. This will cover an armpit, the groin or a foot.
