Activated Oxygen: The Science Behind VetZone
Activated Oxygen: The Science Behind VetZone
Activated oxygen technology begins with medical-grade ozone (O₃), a highly reactive form of oxygen composed of three oxygen atoms. In controlled veterinary applications, ozone acts as a powerful oxidant with antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties.
VetZoneRx formulations harness this activated oxygen by incorporating medical-grade ozone into stabilized ozonated oils, allowing the benefits of ozone to be delivered safely and effectively through topical application.
Why Activated Oxygen
Activated oxygen supports healing through three primary mechanisms:
• antimicrobial oxidation
• cellular energy activation
• inflammation modulation
Mechanism of Action
1. Antimicrobial Oxidation
Activated oxygen derived from ozone disrupts the membranes of bacteria, viruses, and fungi through oxidative stress. This process helps eliminate pathogens rapidly without relying on traditional antibiotics.

2. Cellular Energy Activation
Ozone-derived activated oxygen supports mitochondrial oxygen metabolism, helping enhance ATP production and supporting tissue repair and regeneration.

3. Cytokine & Inflammation Modulation
Controlled ozone application helps regulate immune signaling and activate antioxidant defenses. This supports balanced inflammatory responses and may reduce swelling, redness, and tissue stress.
Why Ozonated Oils?
Stable & Safe
Ozonated oils store ozone safely as ozonides, allowing activated oxygen to be delivered topically without requiring refrigeration.
Deep Tissue Penetration
Our organic carrier oils enhance absorption through the skin and tissues.
