Combine hormone therapy with AktivGel: YES it is possible!

We receive many questions from women about whether estrogen treatment can be combined with VagiVital AktivGel. The answer is yes! AktivGel actually offers an effect equivalent to estrogen for treating dry mucous membranes. This makes the hormone-free AktivGel an obvious choice for women who do not have other symptoms that often occur in connection with menopause or who do not want or cannot use hormones. Women who choose estrogen treatment often do so to manage additional symptoms beyond dry mucous membranes, but sometimes estrogen treatment does not provide sufficient relief for issues such as dryness, irritation, itching in the genital area, as well as pain during intercourse and urination. In such cases, AktivGel can serve as a fantastic complement❤️

THE SECRET BEHIND AKTIVGEL

The secret behind AktivGel is actually not its ingredients since it mainly consists of water, but above all its unique formula with a low osmolality, which provides optimal hydration as the gel gradually transfers moisture to the mucous membrane. The low osmolality together with a high viscosity means that the gel stays where it is placed in the vagina, where it releases moisture to the mucous membrane over time, which also means that no panty liner is needed as it is non-sticky 🙌

Buy AktivGel for dry mucous membranes, irritation, and itching in the genital area.

WHAT IS OSMOLALITY?

Osmolality describes a product's ability to either give or absorb water. Osmosis is the process where water molecules move through a membrane from an area of high water concentration to one with low concentration, to create balance. This is how plants absorb water and how our skin absorbs moisture from creams. Some moisturizing products do not have optimal osmolality. They may show short-term hydration but can in the long run draw water out of skin cells, leading to dryness. For intimate health, osmolality is especially important. In the genital area, the natural osmolality is 260–290. Products with higher osmolality can therefore draw water from the vaginal wall cells, causing dryness, damage, infections, and pain during intercourse. AktivGel has an osmolality of 50, which means it will provide moisture to the mucous membrane 🙌

STUDY RESULTS WITH AKTIVGEL

The results from studies at Swedish university hospitals are both encouraging and promising! The documented improvements include:

🌸 Reduced symptoms of dry mucous membranes: Significant reduction of itching, irritation, and pain during intimate contact and urination, which has a profound positive impact on women's quality of life❤️

🌸 Improved management of urge incontinence: Reduced symptoms give women increased control and freedom in everyday life.

🌸 Improved pH value and increased number of cells in the mucous membrane's surface layer: Important changes for a healthy vaginal flora and improved intimate health.

The most remarkable thing about these results is that the effects of VagiVital AktivGel on the most troublesome symptoms are comparable to those of estrogen preparations. The big difference? VagiVital AktivGel is completely hormone-free, which means an effective treatment without the potential risks and side effects associated with hormonal alternatives 🙌 In our user survey, we have also seen that about 50% of the women using AktivGel also experience a significantly more active sex life, which is a wonderful bonus❤️

COMMON QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Can I use hormone treatment together with AktivGel?

Some women experience that estrogen treatment does not provide sufficient relief for dry mucous membranes, but they still want to continue hormone treatment to relieve other symptoms that can occur during menopause. Then AktivGel can serve as a valuable complement. Estrogen treatment and AktivGel can be used together without risk, since AktivGel mainly consists of water, which makes it impossible to overdose 🙌

How often should I use AktivGel?

Our studies show good effect already after 30 days of use, with further improvements after 90 days. Therefore, we offer 3-pack AktivGel with 10% discount, where one tube lasts for 30 days. After that, it is most common to switch to use every other or every third day. Since the effect of AktivGel halves after 14 days, it is important to use the gel once a week for maintenance. For dry mucous membranes/atrophy caused by menopause, this is often a chronic condition that women need to manage for the rest of their lives, which makes AktivGel a very good friend along the way ❤️

Dry mucous membranes can affect women of all ages and there can be several underlying causes, where menopause and declining estrogen levels can be one of them, but dry mucous membranes can also occur during breastfeeding, stress, smoking, breast cancer treatment, and medication such as antidepressants (SSRI), which makes AktivGel able to offer all women who cannot or do not want to use hormone treatment a safe and effective solution. And for women who choose hormone treatment but need something more for dry mucous membranes, AktivGel works as an excellent complement❤️
