Thanks a lot for developing such an amazing product. I am 31 years old and since I was 14 have suffered from excessive armpit sweating. Even in the coldest Winter my armpits were always wet. I have used Odaban for the last three months and I AM DRY!!!!! I couldn't believe it, but it's true. It really works. Using it once or twice a week is enough. It's great and best of all it has given me a lot of confidence.Mr Walter Cihal

Applying ODABAN
Six months active protection.
Foot and shoe care was never easier. Using the teaspoon provided, sprinkle one spoonful of powder into both shoes each day for seven consecutive days or until the powder is used up. Your feet and footwear will now be odour free for up to six months. Any other footwear, worn intermittently, should be treated each time they are worn until the powder is used up.

How does it work?
Let your feet breathe again!
Newly secreted sweat does not smell, it is only when the bacteria on the skin and footwear breakdown the various skin secretions that the familiar unpleasant “smelly feet” odour become apparent. ODABAN® Foot and Shoe Powder works in two ways; by absorbing perspiration, the powder initially helps reduce the multiplication of the troublesome bacteria by creating a drier habitat and the strong bactericidal properties of the natural ingredients then kill off the remaining bacteria. Regular applications of the shoe powder eventually remove all the bacteria leaving a residual bactericidal level that helps keep the feet and footwear smelling fresh for months.
ODABAN – foot and shoe powder only removes harmful bacteria it does not impair the body’s natural skin protection.

Various magazines and newspapers have reported that antiperspirants in blocking the sweat ducts prevent the excretion of toxins and also prevent the lymph nodes from working properly, thus increasing the risk of breast cancer. All professional medical opinion worldwide refute these claims as completely untrue. The liver, the kidney and the lymph nodes via the blood stream are the main detoxifying and excretion routes for the body, the sweat ducts play a very minor role. The blockages of the lymph nodes referred to in these articles are in fact large quantities of white blood cells which have performed their physiological duty and digested toxins and bacteria which have invaded the body and then subsequently died as is normal when their "work" is done. These dead white cells are eventually safely transported from the lymph nodes for excetion via the blood stream. Antiperspirants do not interfere with the body's detoxifying or excretory processes and in no way are they responsible for causing any form of cancer.Does the aluminium content of Odaban constitute any long-term health hazard, such as Alzheimer’s disease?
