- Citricidal Grapefruit seed extract is a powerful anti-microbial that acts against a large number of pathogenic organisms - bacteria, fungi and viruses. It is a natural prophylactic with the broad spectrum action against diseases that affect animals.
- Citricidal Grapefruit seed extract is a powerful bactericide that acts against both gram+ and gram- bacteria, such as: Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Staphylococcus, Corynebacterium, Klebsiella, Clostridium, Diplococcus, Proteus, Shigella, Erwinia, Bacillus, Mycobacterium, Brucella, Brevibacterium, Listeria, Pasteurella. It also acts against protozoa such as biperias (except b. tenella).

Read More About It..
Citricidal is an amber-colored liquid with a mild citrus aroma. It is non-toxic, biodegradable, non-corrossive, yet highly potent. This is the most potent formula available. Citricidal is triple the potency of regular strength sold elsewhere on the internet. Citricidal is not available in local stores.
Citricidal Triple Strength is used for the exact same purposes as the regular strength except that you will use 1/3 less of the Citricidal Triple Strength.
The active ingredients of the extract disorganize the cytoplasmic membrane, thereby preventing the uptake of amino acids. At the same time, there is a leakage of the cellular contents with low molecular weight through the cytoplasmic membrane. The pathogen is then inactivated. The time for this is generally shorter than that of most comparable preparations.
Grapefruit seed extract does not allow germs to build up a resistance. To date there is no evidence that any type of organism has ever built up a resistance to grapefruit seed extracts active ingredient. Due to the mode of its activity it is believed that this resistance is impossible as grapefruit seed extract disrupts the organisms cytoplasmic membrane.
What is not known is how GSE can affect the cell membranes of such a diverse group of microbes with virtually no toxicity toward animal life (The "Acute Oral Toxicity Study" performed by an independent laboratory concluded that you would have to take 4,000 times the normal adult dose to risk a 50% chance of poisoning). And to complicate matters further, since viruses do not have a cell membrane of their own, how is it that GSE can act as a remedy as it does.
May be used safely for PETS.
