Triosyn ® resin is a unique iodine preparation that harnesses the antimicrobial power of iodine. It controls the delivery and dosage of molecular iodine directly to microorganisms.

Triosyn ® resin consists of tri-iodide molecules thermally fused into a polymer substrate. The tri-iodide structure binds iodine within electrochemical bonds that keep the molecule in a stable, inert state. When a fungus, bacteria, or virus passes nearby, however, the stability of the tri-iodide molecule is disrupted due to the stronger charge on the microorganism’s surface.

This disruption results in two iodine atoms breaking away from each of the tri-iodide molecules in the vicinity of the organism. Paired iodine atom units are referred to as “molecular iodine.” Once drawn to the surface of the microorganism, molecular iodine exhibits significant antimicrobial properties. It rapidly oxidizes the structural proteins and membrane lipids, resulting in rupture of the protective coating and oxidation of the microorganism’s vital interior components.

There are billions of tri-iodide molecules in Triosyn resin. Those not triggered by passing microorganisms continue in their stable stand-by mode until the next microbial demand draws near, again attracting the release of molecular iodine in the dosage needed.

This figure is a schematic representation of the mechanism of action of the Triosyn resin. A microorganism in the vicinity of the Triosyn molecule (left panel) attracts the release of molecular iodine (center panel). The microorganism is then inactivated. (right panel).
