Benefits

In Asthma: Bekon-C opens the airways or calms the inflammation inside them, depending on its type, so breathing is easier and attacks are fewer. Delivered straight into the lungs, it works where it is needed with very little reaching the rest of the body.
In Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: Bekon-C relaxes the airways so that air moves in and out more easily, reducing breathlessness and letting you walk further and do more before you have to stop.
In Fungal skin infection: Bekon-C kills the fungus on the skin or stops it growing, clearing the rash and the itch. Continuing for the full period, even after the skin looks clear, stops it coming back.
In Ringworm: Bekon-C clears the ring-shaped, itchy rash of ringworm and stops it spreading to other parts of the body or to other people.
In Athlete's foot: Bekon-C clears the itchy, peeling, cracked skin between the toes and on the soles, and helps stop the infection returning.
In Dandruff: Bekon-C controls the yeast that drives flaking and itching of the scalp, so dandruff clears and the scalp settles.
In Nail fungal infection: Bekon-C, applied to the nail, slowly clears a mild fungal nail infection as the healthy nail grows out.
