Vaginal Awareness

It is important to educate all women about vaginal health as many of us suffer from undiagnosed vaginal problems. Symptoms such as itching, soreness, redness, abnormal discharge and odour are common, but we often do not know the difference between Sexually Transmitted diseases such as Chlamydia or Gonorrhea and infections such as Thrush and Bacterial Vaginosis. Consequently we often choose the wrong treatment and the problem is not solved effectively.

BIO-FEM Actigel can help to promote and maintain vaginal health by encouraging the regeneration of the cells of the vaginal tissues. It has a pH balance of 4.1, which complements and ensures the normal acidity of the vagina and stimulates the growth of lactobacilli, which are responsible for the natural acidity of the vagina.

With Sexual Health Week upon us, it's a good opportunity to think about our bodies and how we can prevent and treat problems, to keep ourselves healthy throughout all stages of our lives.

BIO-FEM Actigel is a highly effective formula, which safely and naturally eliminates the overgrowth of harmful bacteria. This results in instant relief from discomforts such as itching, soreness, swelling and burning sensation.

BIO-FEM Actigel is naturally based. contains plant extracts, is preservative free and developed with the help of GPs and Gynaecologists.
