A healthy vaginal ecosystem maintains a pH of 4-4.5. Throughout your monthly cycle, your vagina will come into contact with body fluids with a much higher pH. For example, semen, menstrual blood, and fertile quality cervical fluid (the mucus you produce during ovulation) all have typical pH levels around 7. If you have a healthy vaginal ecosystem, your vagina can self-clean and maintain a pH of 4-4.5, despite encountering these higher pH fluids.
But, when your typical vaginal pH is off kilter, the wrong kind of bacteria take up residence and flourish in the vagina. For some women, this imbalance can result in bacterial vaginosis or yeast infections. These bacteria can release the embarrassing fishy smell when the vagina is exposed to one of the higher pH fluids mentioned.
Solving for odor control must not disrupt the vaginal ecosystem and its ability to self-clean or a woman will end up in a recurring cycle of problems. Unfortunately, douches and other freshening gels with parabens, high salt content, and harsh chemicals can create lasting vaginal ecosystem issues.
IsoFresh Balancing Vaginal Gel uses a natural buffering system to bring the vaginal pH back into a healthy range after exposure to higher pH fluids - without doing harm to the vaginal ecosystem in the process.
