As the sun starts sinking deeper into the South and days grow shorter and cooler, it’s time to do more than just swap the closets with warmer clothing and unblock the chimney to stop it from smoking you out on the first firing. Unless you’re a committed outdoor person, winter brings with it more extended periods of being indoors, bundled up closer to other people, and there’s the rub! The incidence of infections due to airborne viruses and microbes shoots up in the winter months, so while you’re planning your other steps to be ready for what’s coming, it’s a great idea to give some thought to protecting your own body from the nasty little bugs that your co-travelers, co-workers and even your close family could be exposing you to.
We have been fortunate over the past four years to be able to promote a simple and affordable product that works as a shield against airborne viruses in the primary pathway through which viruses and microbes are transmitted, which is the airways. Enovid Nasal Spray was developed in 2019 by scientists working for SaNOtize, a joint Canadian/Israeli startup specializing in putting the novel compound nitric oxide to work in many areas of human health. Enovid came just in time to play a part in the battle to fight the SARS-CoV-2 virus that set off the COVID-19 pandemic.
Now, SaNOtize is rebranding Enovid and marketing it as NOWONDER™ Nasal Cleanser.
Welcome NOWONDER™
NOWONDER™ is the same product as Enovid with a different name! NOWONDER™ brings with it all of the great features and functions of Enovid. These are explained in the next few paragraphs:
The SaNOtize Nitric Oxide Nasal Spray (NONS) is designed to stop any airborne viruses (including the SARs-CoV-2 that causes COVID-19) in the nasal passages and upper airways, preventing it from even getting to the lungs and incubating there. It comes as a simple sprayer that can deliver a precise quantity of nitric oxide in a mist that creates a physical barrier in the nasal passages to stop viruses like RSV (respiratory syncytial virus), influenza, and SARS-CoV-2 before they can pass on to the lungs. Laboratory tests established its effectiveness over the full range of COVID-19 mutations and on flu (h1N1) and RSV, with the inactivation starting within two minutes.
It’s important to remember the old saying, the truth of which was reinforced by the pandemic: prevention is better than cure! NOWONDER™ isn’t a drug that cures someone who has already become ill. It works to prevent the infection before it has a chance to take hold. Keeping a NOWONDER™ sprayer on hand allows you to take preventative action whenever the risks of infection from airborne viruses coming from the people or environment around you are higher.
Two to three sprays of NOWONDER™ daily can shield you from even the most active airborne viruses and microbes in most areas. But if you are going to be exposed to more dangerous environments, such as traveling in a crowded vehicle (be it a bus, train, airplane, or even a shared commute) where there could be infected people breathing their viruses out into the shared space, then a spray immediately before and another afterward can cut back the chance of infection dramatically. Up to six sprays a day is quite safe! Also, the NONS dosage of nitric oxide is perfectly safe for children from the age of 12, so keeping the kids virus-free by packing a NOWONDER™ along with their school lunch not only keeps them healthy but blocks off one of the main channels through which viruses come back to invade your home.
Each controlled spray creates a protective mechanical and chemical barrier against viruses within the nasal cavity. It lays down a barrier of nitric oxide designed to kill 99% of airborne viruses within 24 hours of treatment. Blocking entry of a virus or microbe via the upper respiratory tract has proven to be highly effective in preventing infection and reducing hospitalizations and reinfections.
FAQs
When should I take a dose of NOWONDER™?
Daily doses keep your protective guard up. When there’s a danger of exposure to more airborne viruses in infective environments, extra doses can be administered before and after suspected exposure to a virus in high-risk environments, such as public transportation, health care settings, daycares, shopping centers, sports events, etc. NOWONDER™ may be applied 2-3 times every day or up to six times a day in anticipation of or following suspected higher exposure to viruses.
Is SaNOtize NONS safe?
After more than four years with extensive sales worldwide, it has been established that NONS is safe. In a tiny proportion of cases, people have reported minor side effects, such as irritation and a sense of burning in the nasal passages, but these usually subside quickly and have no ongoing effects.
Are there any people who should be using NOWONDER?
People at special risk or more serious consequences if they should become infected by a respiratory virus, such as pregnant women, aged people, and people with compromised immune systems, should be even more protective. Enovid/NOWONDER™ at higher dosages will raise their levels of protection.
How does nitric oxide work against airborne viruses?
Nitric oxide(NO) interferes with mRNA transcription and replication by inhibiting viral ribonucleotide or viral RNA synthesis. NO inactivates the virus by changing its spike proteins, leading to a reduction in viral load. This can prevent viruses from entering cells and replicating.
Do I need a prescription for NOWONDER?
No. Just like Enovid, NOWONDER™ is an over-the-counter product. It can be purchased in batches from IsraelPharm without a doctor’s prescription. Buy in bulk to save!
