Overview:StressGuard
is the premium slime coat protection product. StressGuard will reduce
stress and ammonia toxicity whenever handling or transporting fish.
StressGuard binds to exposed protein in wounds to promote healing of
injured fish and to reduce the likelihood of primary and secondary
infections. StressGuard is compatible with all medications except those
that are copper based. StressGuard is not amine based and will not
interfere with Purigen; or HyperSorb regeneration. StressGuard does not
coat resins or clog filtration like competing “slime coat” type products
can.
What
makes StressGuard very successful at healing is the fact that it
contains protein active colloids. This protein active colloidal agent
actively seeks out any wounds, abrasions, or places where exposed
proteins are and attaches to this area to help directly deliver the
disinfectant in the product and start the healing process. This protein
active colloid, because it binds to the exposed proteins, also acts like
a liquid bandage to the abrasion. Some products are marketed to be
squirted in the bag when a fish is purchased. Those products are
generally acidic, with some brands being a very strong acid. Putting
such a product in a small, enclosed container with a fish often does
more harm than any intended good. StressGuard has a pH of 7.0. It will
not affect the pH of an aquarium, even at large doses. There are no
other products on the market that can compare to the effectiveness of
StressGuard.
Directions:Use
1/2–1 capful (2.5–5 mL) to every 40 L (10 US gallons) daily until signs
of stress have abated or healing is complete. Dose may be safely
doubled.
