What is the ‘triple action’ of Becodefence?

It ‘defuses’ pollen already inside the nose. Its free fatty acids in the formula are known for reducing the allergenic potential of pollen, i.e. they inhibit the release of allergens from pollen onto the mucosa. As such, they ‘defuse’ the pollen by reducing the allergenic activity.

Becodefence’s fine mist resettles as a barrier on the nasal mucosa, preventing pollen that will be inhaled from contacting the nasal mucosa and subsequently attaching to mast cells and triggering an allergic reaction.

The sesame oil in Becodefence stimulates the clearance of the pollen out of the nose, i.e. the mucociliary process.
