Ginofit is a moisturizing vaginal gel for intimate hygiene based on lactic acid. It also contains glycogen. Against the background of its application, a decrease and maintenance of the pH level of the mucous lining of the genital organs at the level of physiology is observed. This ensures favorable conditions for the functioning of the normal vaginal microflora.
The effect of the Ginofit gel is achieved due to its balanced composition. Lactic acid is present in the vagina normally. It creates a weakly acidic reaction in the vaginal environment, thereby restraining the process of reproduction of pathogenic flora, is a natural moisturizing factor.
Glycogen is a polysaccharide that, along with lactic acid, is a physiological and natural substance for the vagina. Under the influence of the normal vaginal flora, glycogen is transformed into glucose, and then into lactic acid, which is necessary to create a normal acidic environment.
Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is used as a stabilizer and a sealing agent in the production of Ginofit. Propylene glycol effectively retains moisture in tissues. Sodium lactate, levulinic and anisic acids are necessary to regulate the level of acidity.
