Kadeflora Lactic Acid Ovules - for vaginal health

KadeFlora lactic acid ovules stabilize and regenerate the natural pH balance of the vagina. The lactic acid makes it difficult for unwanted germs to multiply and alleviates typical symptoms such as unpleasant odor or increased discharge.

KadeFlora lactic acid ovules are vaginal suppositories based on plant lipids for the targeted acidification of the vaginal environment. They contain lactic acid (pH 4) and support the restoration and stabilization of a healthy vaginal environment.

A healthy vaginal environment is slightly acidic (pH 3.8–4.5). Lactic acid bacteria thrive in this environment. They protect against unwanted germs and maintain a stable vaginal flora. However, if this pH balance is disrupted, problems can quickly arise: fishy odor, increased discharge, burning, or recurring infections. Common triggers include antibiotics, hormonal fluctuations (e.g., pregnancy, menopause), stress, or overly intensive intimate hygiene.

Natural protection through the correct pH value

KadeFlora lactic acid ovules were developed to restore the vaginal environment to balance. The ovules contain lactic acid and, with a pH value of 4, are optimally adapted to the natural vaginal environment. After insertion, the ovule melts and releases the lactic acid. This effectively acidifies the vaginal environment, allowing the natural lactic acid bacteria to multiply and stabilizing the vaginal flora.

Effective for disturbed vaginal flora

For various reasons, the vaginal pH balance can be disrupted – through antibiotic therapy, hormonal fluctuations, stress, or intensive intimate hygiene. An elevated pH level above 4.5 promotes the proliferation of unwanted bacteria. The vaginal suppositories melt after insertion into the vagina and release their lactic acid mixture. This counteracts an elevated vaginal pH level. The acidification helps restore the naturally acidic environment, making it more difficult for unwanted bacteria to multiply.

Versatile applications

This product is suitable for treating mild bacterial vaginosis (e.g., with unpleasant, fishy discharge) as well as for use alongside antibiotic therapy for bacterial vaginosis. At the same time, the ovules can be used preventively, especially for women prone to recurrent vaginal or urinary tract infections. An excessively high vaginal pH level can facilitate the entry of intestinal bacteria, such as E. coli, into the urethra, where they can trigger recurrent urinary tract infections.

Thanks to its pleasant, rich formula based on plant lipids, the ovules create a soothing, creamy sensation. Hygienically packaged, they are easy to insert with a finger and require no refrigeration up to 25°C. Ideal for anyone seeking support for their vaginal health and preferring uncomplicated application.

Causes, areas of application and target groups

The natural pH level of the vagina is acidic and reliably protects against unwanted germs. However, many women experience phases in which something changes "down there" without it being immediately clear why. In fact, there are a number of factors that can disrupt the delicate vaginal environment:

Antibiotics: They fight pathogens, but at the same time destroy important lactobacilli. This makes the vaginal environment more alkaline and therefore more susceptible to infections.

Hormonal changes: Menstrual cycle, birth control pills, pregnancy, or menopause can noticeably affect the composition of the vaginal flora. Many women notice increased discharge or vaginal odor during these phases.

Stress: Physical and mental strain alters the body's own immune defense, which also affects the vaginal flora.

Semen and menstrual blood: These bodily fluids are alkaline. This can cause a temporary rise in the vaginal pH level. For some women, this is enough to trigger discomfort.

Overly intensive intimate hygiene: What is well-intentioned can irritate the vaginal flora. Douches, intimate deodorants, or heavily perfumed products attack the natural protective barrier.

Immunodeficiency or frequent infections: When the body is weakened, the vaginal flora has more difficulty maintaining a balance.

All these factors can lead to a decline in lactic acid bacteria, making it easier for unwanted germs to proliferate and causing symptoms such as odor, increased discharge, or burning. Lactic acid ovules reliably help restore the acidic environment in these cases.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between KadeFlora Lactic Acid Treatment and KadeFlora Lactic Acid Ovules?

Both products work the same way and are applied vaginally. The choice depends on personal preference:

• KadeFlora Lactic Acid Treatment is a gel in ready-to-use applicators that has a moisturizing effect and provides a light feeling of freshness.
• KadeFlora lactic acid ovules are vaginal suppositories based on plant lipids that melt after insertion, creating a richer, creamier feeling.

Does lactic acid help against unpleasant odors?

Yes. Unpleasant vaginal odor is often caused by metabolic products of bacteria that multiply at an elevated pH level. Lactic acid restores the naturally acidic pH level, often quickly improving odor and discharge.

Can I use the ovules during menstruation?

No, using the product during menstruation reduces its effectiveness for the following reasons: Firstly, the increased reflux causes a large portion of the melted ovule to leak out; secondly, the alkaline menstrual blood shifts the pH value into the neutral range. It is best used immediately after menstruation.

Can I use the ovules during pregnancy?

Yes, but please consult your doctor first.

Are the ovules vegan?

No animal-derived ingredients are included. However, contact with animal products cannot be completely ruled out during manufacturing.

Do ovules affect condoms?

Yes, latex condoms or pessaries should not be used again until 48 hours after the last use.

Do the ovules need to be refrigerated?

No, just store below 25°C.
