From skincare and wound care to gut health, microbial imbalance and excessive inflammation are at the root of many health issues. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory approaches help proactively prevent infections and control inflammatory responses. This is essential for maintaining the body's natural balance and preventing chronic conditions.

How They Work

These solutions operate through two key pathways:

• First, by directly inhibiting or killing pathogens.
• Second, by regulating immune responses—such as blocking inflammatory signaling pathways (like NF-κB) or reducing pro-inflammatory molecules (like TNF-α and IL-6).
• This dual action helps control inflammation at its source. Many natural ingredients offer both benefits at once.

Applications

In functional foods and supplements, e.g., curcumin and probiotics for gut health;
In medical dressings, e.g., silver ions and chitosan;
In the food industry, e.g., rosemary extract is a natural preservative.
