GlycoZone delivers premium USP-grade ozonated glycerine — a scientifically proven slow-release ozone delivery system with 140 years of therapeutic heritage. From wound healing to integrative cancer support.
Ozonated glycerine (OG) is created by bubbling medical-grade ozone gas through pure USP-grade vegetable glycerine. The resulting compound is a stable, odorless, water-soluble therapeutic agent that slowly releases ozone-derived byproducts over weeks — unlike ozone water which lasts only minutes.
What makes ozonated glycerine unique is its dual advantage: glycerine penetrates skin barriers and cell membranes effortlessly, while the bound ozone metabolites deliver antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative effects deep within tissues. This makes OG one of the most versatile therapeutic compounds available today.
Crosses skin barriers and cell membranes better than oil-based carriers
90-day half-life at room temp; sustained release over 2–4 weeks
Antimicrobial against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and biofilms
No odor, non-staining, non-irritating; suitable for mucosal use
The journey of Glycozone spans over a century — from a French chemist's laboratory in 1880s America to cutting-edge Japanese research and peer-reviewed clinical studies in 2026.
In 1889, French chemist Charles Marchand — a graduate of the prestigious École Centrale des Arts et Manufactures de Paris — discovered that bubbling ozone gas through pure glycerine created a stable therapeutic compound. He named it "Glycozone" — a portmanteau of "Glycerine" and "Ozone."
Marchand published his groundbreaking work in the book "The Therapeutical Applications of Peroxide of Hydrogen (medicinal), Glycozone and Hydrozone" (18th Edition, 1904). He believed that the active ingredient in Glycozone was formed by the chemical reaction:
Marchand theorized that when ozone (O₃) dissolved in glycerine, it produced hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) as the active therapeutic agent — with glycerine acting as a natural stabilizer. He produced two products: Hydrozone (his medicinal H₂O₂ preparation at 15 and 30 volume strength) for rapid antiseptic action, and Glycozone (ozone + glycerine) for slow, sustained healing. As Marchand wrote:
"Glycozone is a stable compound resulting from the chemical reaction that takes place when c.p. glycerine is submitted under special conditions, to the action of fifteen times its own volume of Ozone, under normal atmospheric pressure at a temperature of 0°C." — Charles Marchand, 1904
Marchand was remarkably prescient. He explicitly warned that simply mixing H₂O₂ with glycerine does not produce Glycozone — "These two liquids when mixed do not form a stable product, but develop substances which are injurious to the patient." He understood that the ozone-glycerine reaction created something entirely unique — a concept modern science now confirms.
Ozone + Glycerine → H₂O₂ (the active ingredient). He believed hydrogen peroxide, stabilized by glycerine, was responsible for all therapeutic effects.
Ozone + Glycerine → Ozonides + H₂O₂ + ROS (slow-release system). While H₂O₂ is indeed produced, modern research shows the slow-release ozonide mechanism and reactive oxygen species are what make OG truly unique.
Marchand correctly identified that Glycozone was NOT a simple mixture. His 90-day stability observation, his 15:1 ozone-to-glycerine ratio, and his distinction between rapid (Hydrozone) and slow-release (Glycozone) action were all remarkably accurate — and still used as the gold standard today.
Charles Marchand creates "Glycozone" by passing ozone through glycerine. Believes H₂O₂ is the active ingredient.

From wound healing to integrative oncology, ozonated glycerine offers a versatile therapeutic platform with proven antimicrobial and regenerative properties.
Ozonated glycerine is clinically demonstrated to accelerate wound closure, enhance skin barrier proteins (claudin-1, desmocollin-1), promote collagen deposition, and reduce inflammatory cytokines (IL-1α, TNF-α). Its slow-release mechanism provides sustained therapeutic activity for chronic wounds.
Clinical studies confirm that ozonated glycerine (800 ppm) significantly improves aging spots through melanin degradation over 8 weeks. It also treats inflammatory skin conditions by reducing MMP activity and promoting epidermal cohesion.
Ozonated glycerine's antimicrobial properties make it effective for oral cavity and respiratory tract applications. Its water-soluble nature allows easy formulation as mouthwash, nasal spray, or nebulized solution.
When administered orally or via clinical protocols, ozonated glycerine provides broader systemic support for immune modulation, neuroinflammation, and chronic disease management.
Professor Yoshiharu Okamoto of Tottori University, Japan, has conducted pioneering research on ozonated glycerine's potential in cancer treatment. His yet-to-be-published work, cited in 2024, suggests that OG's 90-day half-life allows sustained release of ozone metabolites that may selectively target cancer cells while sparing healthy tissues.
The proposed mechanism connects to Marchand's original insight. He believed hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) was the active agent in Glycozone. Modern research confirms that cancer cells metabolizing glucose absorb OG molecules during glycolysis. Once inside, OG slowly releases reactive oxygen species (ROS) and peroxides over its extended 90-day release cycle. Cancer cells, with their disrupted antioxidant defense systems, are more susceptible to these oxidative effects — echoing Marchand's theory that the oxidative power of his compound was its key therapeutic mechanism.
Cancer cells absorb ozonated glycerine molecules, mistaking them for glucose metabolites during glycolysis.
Inside the cell, OG releases reactive oxygen species and peroxides over its slow-release cycle.
Cancer cells have disrupted antioxidant defense systems, making them more vulnerable to oxidative damage.
Healthy cells with intact antioxidant systems are not affected, providing selective cytotoxicity.
GlycoZone manufactures ozonated glycerine using only USP-grade, plant-derived glycerine and medical-grade ozone. Our products meet the highest standards for purity, stability, and therapeutic consistency.
Ozonated glycerine combines the tissue-penetrating properties of glycerine with the oxidative power of ozone, creating a uniquely versatile therapeutic compound.

Everything you need to know about ozonated glycerine, its safety, applications, and therapeutic potential.
Ozonated glycerine is created by bubbling medical-grade ozone gas (O₃) through pure USP-grade vegetable glycerine. The ozone reacts with glycerine's hydroxyl groups to form stabilized byproducts including peroxides, aldehydes, ketones, and organic acids. These compounds are held in a water-soluble glycerine matrix that slowly releases therapeutic agents over weeks. OG has an estimated 90-day half-life at room temperature.
Ozonated glycerine outperforms ozone water in stability (90 days vs. 40 minutes) and matches ozone oil's longevity while being water-soluble. Unlike ozone oil which stays on the skin surface, OG penetrates cell membranes and enters mitochondria. It is odorless, non-staining, and suitable for mucosal, oral, and nebulized applications where ozone oil cannot be used.
Ozonated glycerine is generally considered safe for topical and mucosal applications. Japanese studies (Wang et al., 2011) confirmed its safety for skin, eyes, and oral mucosa. It is non-toxic, free of antibiotics and steroids, and well-tolerated even on sensitive skin. However, it is not FDA-approved for any medical condition and should be used under qualified medical supervision. Always consult a healthcare professional before use.
Professor Yoshiharu Okamoto of Tottori University has conducted pioneering research suggesting OG's potential in cancer treatment. The proposed mechanism involves cancer cells absorbing OG molecules during glycolysis (mistaking them for glucose metabolites), followed by slow release of ROS and peroxides that exploit cancer cells' disrupted antioxidant defenses. Clinical studies show ozone selectively inhibits growth of breast, lung, and uterine cancer cells while normal cells remain unaffected. This research is experimental and not FDA-approved.
Ozonated glycerine has diverse applications including: wound healing (diabetic ulcers, burns, surgical wounds), skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis, age spots, anti-aging), oral health (dental infections, gingivitis), respiratory support (sinusitis, lung infections, nebulized therapy), systemic health (Long COVID, Lyme disease, autoimmune conditions), and integrative oncology support. It can be used topically, orally, as a nasal spray, nebulized, or via clinical administration protocols.
Ozonated glycerine was first created in 1889 by French chemist Charles Marchand, a graduate of the École Centrale des Arts et Manufactures de Paris. Marchand discovered that passing ozone gas through pure glycerine created a stable therapeutic compound, which he named "Glycozone." He published his work in the book "The Therapeutical Applications of Peroxide of Hydrogen (medicinal), Glycozone and Hydrozone" (1904).
Marchand believed the active ingredient was hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) formed by the reaction H₂O + O₃ → H₂O₂ + O₂. He also created "Hydrozone" (his medicinal H₂O₂ preparation) and warned that simply mixing H₂O₂ with glycerine does NOT produce Glycozone — the ozone-glycerine reaction creates something entirely unique. Glycozone faded with the rise of antibiotics but has experienced a major resurgence since 2004, with Japanese studies proving its bactericidal effects, SARS-CoV-2 inactivation (2021), and emerging cancer research (2024).
