Here\u2019s a little about these ingredients and their effect on the vaginal environment:<\/p>\n<table width=\"270\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"155\"><strong>Glycogen<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"115\"><strong>Lactic Acid<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Glycogen:<\/strong> Glycogen is a form of glucose produced naturally inside the body, and is used to keep the vagina moist and to help maintain the proper pH balance. Basically, glycogen keeps infections at bay, while making sure good bacteria has a healthy environment in which to thrive.<\/p>\n<p>Glycogen production is dependent on estrogen, and often during menopause, the lack of glycogen in the vagina leads to dryness, discomfort and an increased risk of bacterial vaginosis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lactic Acid<\/strong>: Lactic acid helps the body restore natural acidity, providing an environment for good bacteria, while keeping out other \u201cbad\u201d bacteria that may lead to infection, itching and discomfort.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/top-10-menopause-supplements\/\">Learn more about how hormonal imbalance can negatively impact your vaginal health\u2014click here for more.<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h5><strong>Relactagel Quality of Ingredients<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><a title=\"Click here to compare with top 10 menopause supplements\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/top-10-menopause-supplements\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-103736\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-110613 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Relactagel.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"182\" \/><\/a><strong>Relactagel <\/strong>is made from ingredients that seem like a good way to maintain a proper pH balance in the body\u2014both lactic acid and glycogen are key in helping the internal flora flourish inside the vagina.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, since this product is a gel, and the ingredients don\u2019t have any known side effects, this product is likely a safe way to avoid any bacterial infections in the vagina.<\/p>\n<p>The only concerns we have about<strong> Relactagel <\/strong>have less to do with the quality of the product and more to do with the fact that this product may have some consumers thinking they can avoid visiting a doctor when they need medical attention.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re not sure <strong>Relactagel<\/strong> can take the place of antibiotics for a serious bacterial infection, or if this product is more effective than restoring your hormonal balance with a menopause product.<\/p>\n<p>Based on our look at the ingredients, it seems this product may be a good supplement to a hormone balancing regimen, but it\u2019s clearly not for regular use.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/top-10-menopause-supplements\/\">Find the best solution for keeping pH in check, while managing your menopause symptoms \u2014 more on our website. <\/a><\/p>\n<h5><strong>The Price and Quality of Relactagel <\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><strong>Relactagel <\/strong>is can be purchased from the official website, but the company that makes this product is based in Ireland and only ship inside the country, or to Germany and England.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Relactagel<\/strong> is sold through Amazon for about $20 per container, and users in the US and elsewhere can purchase this product without any trouble. This product may also be purchased through eBay at varying price points.<\/p>\n<p>Each box of <strong>Relactagel<\/strong> contains seven pre-loaded applicators, so this product only lasts for one cycle of treatment. Users who buy this product for preventative use are expected to only use about 2 or 3 applicators a month, following menstruation, so the latter group may get more mileage out of a single box.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/top-10-menopause-supplements\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-119280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Relactagel-compare.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Relactagel-compare.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Relactagel-compare-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Relactagel-compare-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/top-10-menopause-supplements\/\">Click here to read more about our favorite vaginal balancing solutions, as per our expert reviewers.<\/a><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Business of Relactagel <\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><strong>Relactagel <\/strong>is made by an Irish company known as Kora Healthcare. Here is their contact information, for reference:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Phone:<\/strong> \u00a0353 1 890 0406<\/p>\n<p><strong>Address:<\/strong> Swords Business Park<br \/>\nSwords, Co Dublin, Ireland<\/p>\n<p>Kora Health is a pharmaceutical company that makes a number of products centered around infectious diseases, sexual health and wellbeing and general nutrition.<\/p>\n<p>The official Kora website feels rather clinical, but it does embody a certain level of professionalism one has come to expect from a global pharmaceutical company.<\/p>\n<p>The product page for <strong>Relactagel <\/strong>explains how the product works in several simple, easy to understand steps. For example, visitors receive information about why they might use this product, as well as how often they should use it, and what it does to eliminate BV.<\/p>\n<p>The one thing we would change about the way <strong>Relactagel<\/strong> is presented that the ingredient label has not been included on the site. While not everyone will care about this omission, plenty of people like to do their research before investing in an over-the-counter product, especially when it\u2019s going to be applied to such a sensitive area.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, per a customer on the Amazon page, this product gets its glycogen from shellfish, something the website does not make clear. Shellfish are one of the top eight food allergies and Kora Health should consider adding a warning to alert allergic consumers.<\/p>\n<p>While the website isn\u2019t especially warm or inviting in tone, they do offer potential users a snapshot of this product and its function, something you don\u2019t see in a lot of cases.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Customer Opinions of Relactagel<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><strong>Relactagel<\/strong> is pretty widely reviewed. This company has been around for a while and sells through a number of channels with a lot of web traffic. Here\u2019s a look at some of the comments people shared about their experience:<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThis product works well for me. It\u2019s the only thing that helps me rebalance my pH after having my period each month. I like this better than antibiotics, which generally make me feel sick and weak after use.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cEasy to use and eliminates BV symptoms within a day or so. While it worked for me, those with a shellfish allergy should be aware, as the glycogen used in the formula comes from shellfish.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cI love this. It\u2019s odorless and easy to use, especially with the applicator. I\u2019ve already gone through menopause, but it\u2019s hard to keep vaginal pH acidic enough for optimal balance. FYI\u2014it is a bit runny.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cTried this in an attempt to \u201cgo natural\u201d and help out the good bacteria. No results initially, but after day 6 rolled around, I began feeling an itchy, burning sensation, like a yeast infection. Not for me at all.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Relactagel <\/strong>did not have that many reviews, but it does not appear to be widely sold in the United States, despite having a few listings on Amazon.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to tell I this product works consistently, given the small sample size, but some people had some great results.<\/p>\n<p>Lactic acid is a well-known ingredient for balancing pH, as is glycogen\u2014but the consumer above is right\u2014the shellfish thing could be an issue for many potential users.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the one account we found from the postmenopausal woman above, it seems this product has potential to get the vaginal environment back on track if it\u2019s especially dry or prone to infection.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/top-10-menopause-supplements\/\">Click here to learn how to find the menopause product best suited to your needs.<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- Widget Shortcode --><div id=\"execphp-26\" class=\"widget widget_execphp widget-shortcode area-btn-sb \">\t\t\t<div class=\"execphpwidget\"><div class=\"table-before-c\">text3<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><!-- \/Widget Shortcode -->\n<h5><strong>Conclusion &#8211; Does Relactagel Work?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><strong>Relactagel <\/strong>seems to have a lot of potential as a bacterial vaginosis treatment. The Kora Health website seems reputable, and the ingredient profile looks pretty good, at least on our end.<\/p>\n<p>The first issue we had with this product is, you never see an official ingredient list. There\u2019s not one posted on the Kora site and sites like Amazon have not included anything in the image galleries.<\/p>\n<p>Second, because users can\u2019t evaluate the full contents of the product ahead of time, they may not be aware that this product contains shellfish, a common allergen.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s true most people do not have a shellfish allergy\u2014but it can be a dangerous affliction for the unlucky few. Allergens should be clearly marked in order to alert customers to any potential adverse reactions.<\/p>\n<p>We also don\u2019t know how well this product works. We did not come across many reviews, as this product is not widely distributed in the United States. While several commenters mentioned <strong>Relactagel <\/strong>was quite effective, others felt it didn\u2019t help much or had caused a negative reaction.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, this product could be worthwhile, but it\u2019s wise to speak with a doctor if you\u2019re experiencing ongoing issues with BV or some sort of menopausal imbalance.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/05\/femmetrinol-review\/\">Femmetrinol<\/a> is our experts\u2019 top pick for menopausal products that do it all.
