"Gynofit" is a moisturizing vaginal gel for intimate hygiene based on lactic acid. It also contains glycogen.

This ensures favorable conditions for the life of normal vaginal microflora.
Gynofit gel effect is achieved due to its balanced composition. Lactic acid is present in the vagina normally. It creates a slightly acidic reaction in the vaginal environment, thereby inhibiting the reproduction of pathogenic flora, and is a natural moisturizing factor.
Glycogen is a polysaccharide which, along with lactic acid, is a physiological and natural substance for the vagina. Under the influence of 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 sealing agent in the production of Ginophyt. Propylene glycol effectively retains moisture in tissues. Sodium lactate, levulinic acid and anisic acid are essential for acidity regulation.
