How Does the Antimicrobial Agent Work?

Posted by Posterous on February 14, 2012 0 Comments

We get this question a lot, so let's break it down!

500x300

Antimicrobial coatings work by making the surface of the coating not conducive to microbial germination and outgrowth. Compounds with known antimicrobial activity are imparted throughout the coating at a level dependent upon the chemistry used. (here at phitgrip we use the highest level of silver concentrate possible)

Silver owes its antimicrobial properties to an ion exchange that causes a repression of metabolic functions in microbes and bacterium. Silver has to be incorporated into a structure that controls the release of silver ions. (our ink) Ambient moisture in the air causes a regulated release of silver ions to effectively maintain the antimicrobial surface. As humidity or moisture increases, the silver release rate increases. (thats right, we are even more effective in a sweaty environment like your hand and a weight or shopping cart grip)

How do we stay motivated? We all are lazy at times, wanting to skip workouts or dive into pizza. The most important thing to remember is that it's ok to feel this way, as a matter of fact its normal. Here are a couple of tips to get your mojo back!

1) Nothing is permanent. This feeling will pass.

2) Remind yourself what you are fighting for.

3) Believe in yourself!! (Chant, meditate, listen to motivational tapes...anything to get that invincible feeling back once again)

4) If you are depressed and cannot seem to make any forward progress seek medical help. This does not mean you are weak or mentally deranged. It means your depressed and you need some help.

Great News at PhitGrip!

Here at the Grip we hired ATS Labs out of Minnesota to test the efficacy of our antimicrobial agent. ATS is the industry leader in antimicrobial testing so what they say is golden...IF it's good news. Well we are very happy to report the good news about our ability to keep you healthy!! 

Pgpairlow

Per ATS the antimicrobial agent in PhitGrip kills staph with an 84% efficacy rate and kills e.coli with a 95% efficacy. THIS IS GREAT NEWS!! This means we put an end to cross-contamination, striving to keep you healthy even in the most public of public places.

This week has been our biggest week yet in terms of online sales, thanks so much for the support!

PhitGrip attended many, MANY fitness shows this past year. We learned that a great deal of you out there (mostly men) do not care about germs, infections or what cross-contamination can do to your good health. To make things super simple as to why we at the Grip feel its so important for people to understand the dynamics of what makes us sick we have attached the above chart.

Any questions?

Use Music to Elevate Your Mood

Did you know that listening to music for up to an hour a day can elevate your mood, give you more energy and produce higher levels of oxytocin? Oxytocin is a stress-fighting, mood-elevating hormone that occurs when we hear a familiar voice or upbeat music.

Finding upbeat music for your workouts is simple thru various podcasts. Our very favorite is DJ Corey Craig out of New York City. Find him at coreycraig.com

For the germ-hating, I don't wanna' get sick scientist in all of us.....

We have been hard at work here at PhitGrip making our antimicrobial even better than it was before, and we have the test results to prove it!

For the average non PhD holders among us here is what the chart above has to say, this test was conducted by an outside, independent test/research firm.

"The  scientific notation 8.90 E+05 really means 890,000 as compared to 260 in terms of growth of e.coli bacteria. Those numbers give PhitGrip an efficacy rate of approximately 97.5%.  Given that every test has a level of "noise" we can safely say that the antimicrobial agent in PhitGrip performs at greater than 95% efficacy."

Those are AMAZING statistics! Much better than those antimicrobial wipes you find at your grocers front door.

Stay Healthy. Go PhitGrip!
