      There were a couple small studies that raised concerns about aluminum in antiperspirants. Larger higher quality studies found no issues.

      There are no real antiperspirant ingredients in the product you linked. Zinc oxide is a mild astringent which could possibly reduce sweating but if it does at all it’s not by much. Microbial claims around silver in deodorant are dubious at best. No studies have shown it to be particularly effective at inhibiting odor causing bacteria. Anyone with BO will stink on top of the smell of deodorant.

        The product doesn’t claim to be an antiperspirant, and it’s not. It also doesn’t have any fragrance for deodorant.

        I recommended the product because it works for me better and longer than anything else I have ever tried. I still sweat, but even 8 hours after working out, my underarms still don’t smell when using this stuff. During the winter, if I wasn’t particularly active, It would last 4 days.

            You don’t need to personally attack me. I’m sharing my experience in the hopes it helps others. I’m not paid by the company or anyone else. I have no secret agenda.

      There is special lotion that basically glues the Sweat glands, but your doctor needs to prescribe it in most places…

        Oh wow, that seems like it would be pretty effective but probably not great for the body.

        I have been using the Nuud stuff for a year and I love it. I’ll never go back to anti-perspirants.

          Its not perfect, but doesn’t do harm as it’s not putting something in the body. Also its a lot better than sweating liters a day.

            Are you talking about the nuud stuff or the “gluing glands” stuff? Because if it’s the latter, I’m not convinced that it doesn’t harm or “put something in the body.”

      Ooh, haven’t heard of this. I’ve been using a regular deodorant without anti perspiration the last few months and… it’s ok. But now that it’s getting hotter, I reach for the old aluminum stick if I have to go into the office.

      I bought this (impulse buy, but on sale!) and we’ll see how it goes! My wife will tell me if it’s not working :)

        I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by it! I wish I had known about it sooner. I had tried aluminium antiperspirant, non-aluminium deodorant, the crystal, and charcoal paste, and none of it worked as well for me or made it through the day.

        The biggest complaint I have with the nuud is that I have to wash it off my hands after applying.
