Even though so many people like Prime, I dont trust anything in a bottle that can detoxify Nitrogenous compounds. I'll just stick to my Novaqua, like I have been for the last decade.

No theories, I'm more comfortable removing the substance than trying to lock it away and hope it doesnt hurt my fish. Stocking correctly and maintaining proper filtration/water-changing regime is a better practice in my book.

NovAqua+ reduces toxicity of nitrite. NovAqua+'s special electrolytes help reduce the toxic effects of nitrite in the water by blocking the uptake of nitrite by the animal.

NovAqua+ contains a high capacity buffering system that stops pH fluctuations in the water, stabilizes acidity/alkalinity to avoid pH shock, and allows fish to adapt safely to new environments.

NovAqua+ enhances biofiltration in new aquariums and ponds. It does this by coating the filter media with a slime coat that aids nitrifying bacteria in forming colonies, and in being more effective in carrying out biological filtration.
NovAqua+ buffers tap water
NovAqua+ provides multiple protective colloid coatings on the fish's body to replace or reinforce the natural slime coating that is essential to counteract injury, infection, and adverse environmental exposure.

Where does it state that on the product page, thats listed on the non-plus novaqua.
