Frequently Asked Questions
What is
Hirudoid?
Hirudoid is a cream that has been clinically proven to heal bruises fast* by speeding up the healing process. It is the health and beauty product that goes beyond the cosmetic and brings real science to healing.
Hirudoid contains MPS (Mucopolysaccharide polysulphate) which is similar to the body’s naturally occurring MPS found in the dermis layer of skin. The skin’s healing capability relies on the presence of MPS in the tissue. Scientific studies have shown that the MPS in Hirudoid penetrates to the dermis layer in effective concentrations to heal bruises fast.
MPS has many clinically documented properties including the promotion of tissue regeneration and reduction of swelling and inflammation. It is in these ways that Hirudoid accelerates the healing time of bruises.
Pharmaceutical Actions of MPS:
Anti-coagulant effects
Anti-thrombotic properties
Anti-phlogistic (Anti-inflammatory) properties
Tissue Regeneration properties
