In-vitro suspension test (5-minute contact) — a standardized method for evaluating basic bactericidal activity of chemical antiseptics and disinfectants |
≥5.0–5.2 log reduction of S. aureus and P. aeruginosa at 24% concentration |
Confirms antimicrobial activity of the raw BIOAELUS™ ingredient under controlled laboratory conditions. This is a disinfectant-standard test, not a study of oral supplement effects in the human body. |
| EN 1275 (RAP.1275.559.HBA.07.v2), Biotech-Germande, 2008 |
In-vitro suspension test (15-minute contact) — the equivalent standard for basic fungicidal/yeasticidal activity |
>4.4 log reduction of Candida albicans at 20–24% concentration |
Laboratory antifungal test on the raw ingredient. Not a test of gut, skin, or respiratory outcomes in humans. |
| EN 13727 (RAP.13727.591.HBA.08.1), Biotech-Germande, 2009 |
In-vitro suspension test under "dirty conditions" (60-minute contact) — the standard specifically used to evaluate chemical disinfectants for medical instruments |
≥5.4–5.6 log reduction of P. aeruginosa, S. aureus and E. hirae at 53–80% concentration |
This standard evaluates surface/instrument disinfection, not oral or topical product efficacy in the body. |
| NSF International / Toxicology Group laboratory report, 2003 |
In-vitro flask test against P. aeruginosa, a bacterium relevant to bottled water and plumbing contamination |
>5 log reduction within 4 hours |
Laboratory water/surface-contamination test on the raw ingredient, unrelated to human clinical outcomes. |
| NSF International / Toxicology Group laboratory report, 2003 |
In-vitro flask test against Penicillium oxalicum, a common airborne mold found on building materials |
>3.1 log reduction within 24 hours |
Laboratory mold test relevant to environmental/building contexts, not human clinical outcomes. |
| NSF International / Toxicology Group laboratory report, 2003 |
In-vitro flask test against Stachybotrys chartarum ("black mold"), an environmental contaminant found on textiles and building materials |
>3.9 log reduction within 4 hours |
Laboratory mold test relevant to environmental/building contexts, not human clinical outcomes. |
| NSF International / ATS Labs (The Toxicology Group), 2003 |
In-vitro virucidal suspension test against Human Coronavirus (ATCC VR-740, Strain 229E), a common-cold coronavirus strain used in the lab as a surrogate for evaluating antiviral activity |
≥99.97% (≥3.6 log reduction) in viral titer at 10-minute exposure; ≥99.4% (≥2.2 log reduction) at 24-hour exposure |
Laboratory antiviral test on the raw ingredient using a common-cold coronavirus surrogate strain in a controlled suspension assay. Not a study of respiratory infection prevention or treatment in humans, and not evidence of effect against any specific virus, including SARS-CoV-2. |
| Institut Pasteur de Lille (NC/0380402), 2002 |
In-vitro minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) test against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger |
Minimal inhibitory concentration ranged from 1.7% (S. aureus, C. albicans) to 12.5% (A. niger); overall minimum inhibitory concentration of 12.5% across all 4 strains tested |
Laboratory antimicrobial/antifungal screening test on the raw ingredient. Not a study of oral supplement effects or infection outcomes in humans. |
| Institut Pasteur de Lille (NC/0460303), 2003 |
In-vitro antibacterial activity test against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (ATCC 25177) |
Inhibition halo observed around the powder at all concentrations tested (0.5 g, 0.25 g, 0.1 g) |
Laboratory antibacterial test on the raw ingredient against a single bacterial species in a controlled culture setting. Not a study of tuberculosis prevention, treatment, or any human clinical outcome. |
