How does Nirena clean?

Nirena, an intimate hygiene gel, preserves natural vaginal flora with a precisely balanced pH level, formulated with unique high-performance naturally derived compounds. These exclusive compounds (with extensive clinical and scientific evidence) have proven antibacterial, anticandidal, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Nirena contains no harsh chemicals like sodium lauryl sulfate or sodium hydroxide, substances found in cheap commercial cleansers that raise pH levels into the unhealthy alkaline range. Such products cause a pH unbalance that interferes with Döderlein’s bacillus and other natural flora.

In the self-regulating ecosystem of the vagina, this essential lactobacillus uses glycogen from cells of the vaginal epithelium, transforming it into lactic acid to maintain a normal vaginal pH between 3.8 and 4.2. This environment encourages growth of the Döderlein’s bacillus and discourages growth of foreign pathogens.

By maintaining pH balance, Nirena preserves vaginal flora and protects women from the infections that cause itchiness and unusual discharge.
