Decastat works by destroying pathogen membranes, resulting in rapid death. The patented formulation is made up of highly effective nanoparticles. These positively-charged nanoparticles bind to the negatively-charged pathogens, and embed the active ingredient into the pathogen membrane. The active ingredient, Capric Acid, is a powerful anti-pathogenic agent, and breaks down the toughest of membranes, leaving nothing but debris.
