The Wellness Index Report, an independent wellness ratings and education platform founded by Lindsay O'Neill-O’Keefe, has published a new feature in its "Inside the Index" series recognizing Nefense as a leader in nasal health innovation. The article examines the growing interest in nasal wellness, respiratory hygiene, and drug-free alternatives to traditional nasal care products.
"Nasal wellness is one of the most overlooked areas of health optimization," said O'Neill-O’Keefe. "Consumers are increasingly looking beyond conventional saline sprays and exploring science-backed approaches that support healthy breathing, daily nasal hygiene, and overall respiratory wellness."
The feature draws inspiration from articles in TopDoctor Magazine and Business Insider, exploring Nefense's portfolio of products, including HypoNasal HOCl Nasal Spray, HypoNasal Junior HOCl Nasal Spray for Kids, HypoBaby HOCl Nasal Mist for Infants, and XyloClean Xylitol-based nasal wellness solutions. These products are formulated under the direction of Dr. Richard Downs DDS.
The article also reviews emerging research on hypochlorous acid (HOCl), a naturally occurring molecule produced by white blood cells that has demonstrated antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties in published scientific literature. Studies have explored its potential applications across respiratory health, wound care, dermatology, ophthalmology, and infection control.

Growing consumer interest in topics such as allergy relief, nasal congestion relief, natural nasal sprays, antimicrobial nasal sprays, and nasal versus oral breathing has created significant momentum within the broader respiratory wellness category. This trend has helped drive interest in saline nasal spray alternatives and daily nasal hygiene routines. According to Wellness Index Report, Nefense represents a new generation of companies focused on practical, family-friendly solutions that prioritize daily wellness routines rather than symptom management alone. It is doctor recommended, ENT approved, and a great drug-free alternative to over-the-counter nasal sprays.
O'Neill-O’Keefe emphasized the importance of personal experience and research: "As a born and raised New Yorker, I don’t believe something works until I try it for myself. And before I try anything - or use a solution on my children - I get my doctor’s opinion and read the research. This is the premise for the Biohacking Index and our monthly Wellness Index Report."
