Leucidal® Liquid Complete is a patent-pending, clear-to-hazy liquid designed to provide comprehensive protection against bacteria, yeast, and mould. It fuses two distinct fermentation processes: one using Leuconostoc kimchii (the bacterium behind Kimchi) for antibacterial peptides, and another fermenting Coconut with Lactobacillus to produce antifungal lipopeptides (Coconut fruit extract).
