Remember, it's lightning fast. It reacts with everything. HOCl is part of our innate immune system. We all rely on it. You do; I do. We all make it. Just about every living thing makes it. Our dogs, our pets. If you're a fruit fly, you depend on HOCl for your innate reaction to injury, to insult, to infection. It reacts with everything.

 

It doesn't have any kind of discriminatory capacity. So, when one of your white blood cells scoops up a staphylococcus or something harmful, HOCl, springs into action and it reacts with that staphylococcus and it kills it. And all this happens in milliseconds. A really remarkable process. But then what happens to the HOCl that didn't kill the Staphylococcus when it reacts with everything?

 

It's going to react most with what there's most of around it. And that's where this wondrous NCT phenomenon comes in. What is most around HOCl in your white blood cell is an amino acid, taurine. It's the most abundant amino acid in your body.

 

It really is a remarkable piece of physiology that surrounding HOCl when it's made is an abundance of this amino acid. It's an odd amino acid. It doesn't get incorporated into proteins, which is what we normally expect of amino acids, right? We take them all in and we incorporate them into proteins in our bodies.

 

Taurine doesn't go into proteins. It sits in your fluids and inside your cells. And one of the key things it does is it soaks up HOCl. HOCl reacts with it. It halogenates it. That's the chemical term. It converts it into something we call NCT. And then NCT is a remarkable compound. It's antimicrobial. It's antifungal. It's antibacterial. Antiviral.
