Bioactive Totarol™ preserves the animal microbiome

New Zealand biotech company Hyperganic Biogroup is bringing the antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties of Totara to the animal care market. This patented diterpenoid, with scientifically proven efficacy, draws its strength from this endemic tree shaped by over 100 million years of adaptation. Cleanly extracted using supercritical CO₂ from naturally fallen wood, Bioactive Totarol^™ neutralises pathogenic bacteria while preserving the delicate balance of the skin microbiome. It has recently been incorporated at the core of a pet care range developed by the company for one of its clients.
