Nirena keeps a woman healthy and happy

Women who do not accept a compromise and desire the very best for their feminine care needs, use Nirena for their intimate hygiene. This hypoallergenic gel, made with no synthetic chemicals and with ultra-premium clinically proven compounds, helps prevent the itching, odor, and discharge that result from infections as well as maintain optimal vaginal comfort and health.

Not another soap or detergent, Nirena is an organic gel pH-balanced precisely to protect and condition the delicate vaginal environment. Its formula relies on naturally derived high purity compounds that possess wide-spectrum antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory benefits along with powerful hydrating compounds.

Nirena protects intimate areas just the way nature perfected them. Proper daily cleansing with the gel preserves natural flora and inhibits foreign microbes to ward off nasty infections.

Use of synthetic products, however, leads to imbalances of bacteria, protozoa, and fungi that cause vaginitis from yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, and other diseases. This is partially caused by constant exposure to soaps, detergents, shampoos, douches, sprays, and perfumes that we don’t need and shouldn’t use.

From the very first use, one is engulfed in a sense of well-being.

What is Nirena?

Not another soap, Nirena is a gentle organic gel made from naturally derived high-performance extracts, pH-balanced precisely for the vaginal environment. It helps to prevent various vaginal infections infections and maintain a healthy vaginal environment.

Like all bodily orifices — mouth, eyes, etc. — the vaginal area is not covered in skin, therefore not suitable to wash with soap. It is a specialized mucous membrane, also called mucosa, which functions in protection, nutrient absorption, and secretion of mucus, enzymes, and salts, and always remains soft and smooth, lubricated by the secretions of several glands.

Skin, on the other hand, is a cornified surface with hair, sweat glands, and sebaceous glands. It can be washed with common soap.

Nirena preserves natural vaginal pH between 3.8 and 4.2, because it contains a variety of unique compounds obtained through mechanical compression such as Brazilian peppertree extract.

Phytochemical analysis reveals that the Brazilian peppertree contains a large amount of essential oil, with potent antimicrobial properties in its leaves, fruit, and bark.

A 1976 monograph on the Brazilian peppertree’s essential oil indicated no toxicity to animals or humans ingesting or applying it topically.

As a hypoallergenic formula, Nirena contains no synthetic chemicals or detergents to irritate sensitive skin or mucosa. Unlike soap, it rinses free of residues that cause dryness. Instead, Nirena calms and moisturizes irritated and sensitive tissues, leaving them soft and smooth.

Who should use Nirena?

Nirena is uniquely designed to combine fast acting high –performance action with only naturally derived high purity ingredients - it is for women who desire the best. This hypoallergenic gel, made with no synthetic chemicals, maintains optimal health and prevents the itching, odor, and discharge that result from infections.

Nirena is indicated for women who:

believe in natural products, organic foods, and reducing environmental impact,
don’t mind paying a little more for high-quality products,
eschew synthetic clothing and fabrics,
exercise and take care of their bodies,
want to minimize risk of yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, or other vaginal disease,
suffer bouts of itching, odor, or other symptoms of vaginitis more than once per year,
have used common bath soap, bubble bath, or feminine “hygiene” sprays on the vulva,
have used douches

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.

Where should I clean with Nirena?

Nirena is formulated and pH-balanced especially for the mucous membranes of the vaginal area.

As with soap, Nirena may remove medical creams and lotions applied prior to washing. If using such preparations around the vagina, follow their instructions for reapplication after cleansing

Why do women use harsh cleaners?

Western society revolves largely around the buying and selling of consumer products. If a corporation can manufacture a product cheaply enough, sell it profitably enough, and convince women they need it to feel fresh and clean, then it will.

Today we get bombarded by ads pushing soaps, detergents, shampoos, douches, sprays, and perfumes we don’t even want. Our mothers, sisters, and friends use the chemicals too. Even the natural pheromones that facilitated human evolution are to be banished.

We believe what we’re sold, conform to the program, yet continue to suffer with routine infections, redness, irritation, itching, strong odors, and unusual discharges.

Perhaps we’ve been had. Perhaps the answer is fewer chemicals, not more. Perhaps we get back to basics:

Bathe daily. Use Nirena around the vagina, not soap or douche. Pat the area dry with a clean towel.
After using the toilet, wipe front to back to keep fecal bacteria away from the vagina and urinary tract.
Avoid feminine "hygiene" sprays, which cause allergic reactions and bacterial imbalances.
Do not douche. Chemicals dry and irritate the vagina, overwhelm natural bacteria, and spread infections.
Avoid colored or perfumed toilet paper, deodorant pads, and tampons.

What are the ingredients in Nirena?

Allantoin: increases water content of the extracellular matrix and enhances the desquamation of dead skin cells. In Nirena, this keratolytic effect increases the smoothness of skin, promotes cell proliferation and wound healing, and acts as a soothing anti-irritant and skin protectant.

Barberry: Effective in combating urinary tract infections, chronic yeast infections, and vaginitis. Parts used: Root, stem, bark, and essential oil.

Brazilian peppertree (leaves, bark, and fruit): The herbal remedy treats several conditions with its antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory properties. Major actions reported include killing bacteria, fungi, and reducing inflammation. Other actions reported include killing cancer cells, viruses, and relieving pain. Commercial application: In Nirena, the only commercially available women’s intimate cleanser to contain Brazillian peppertree, its precious compounds protects the delicate equilibrium of the vaginal ecosystem to help prevent infections.

Burdock: this extract contains arctigen, calcium, chlorogenic acid, flavonoids, iron, inulin, lactone, mucilage, polyacetylenes, potassium, resin, tannin, and taraxosterol. These compounds make burdock ideal for fighting urinary tract infections. The antibacterial and antifungal properties of polyacetylenes make the herb an important ingredient in Nirena intimate cleanser to help preserve vaginal health and prevent infection.

Chamomile: topically, chamomile is utilized as an astringent skin cleanser, to disinfect wounds and ulcers, and to increase sloughing of necrotic tissue for proper healing. It has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-parasitic properties. In Nirena, chamomile opposes foreign bacteria destructive to vaginal health.

Xylitol and Lactitol: these compounds combat germs in the skin system and promote growth of healthful resident bacteria. Benefits: Utilized topically in Nirena, xylitol and lactitol encourages growth of healthy bacteria normally present in the vaginal ecosystem, increasing defenses against foreign bacteria and infection. Clinical studies: Research demonstrates that xylitol and lactitol inhibits temporary parasitic germs and stimulates natural resident bacteria in the skin system. One study tested two parasitic germs, escherichia coli and staphylococcus aureus, placed on the skin. With topical application, results were a 46 percent decrease of E coli and 52 percent decrease of staphylococcus aureus. Another study showed that xylitol and lactitol favors the growth of healthful bacteria. This test was conducted on the bacterium corynebacterium xerosis, normally resident on the skin. With topical application, dramatic growth of 580 percent proved highly effective in increasing the body’s natural defenses.

Lactobacillus casei biofiltrate: used to moisturize the epidermal layers immediately, and along trihydroxypalmitic acid, ensures deep hydration. In-vivo clinical studies tested short-term and long-term hydration, as well as the skin’s micro-depressionary network. In the short term, 10 volunteers using a 5% solution cream showed a 20-percent increase in hydration of upper epidermal skin within seven hours. In the long term, 10 volunteers using a 5% cream showed a 42-percent increase in hydration of upper epidermal skin after 28 days. Nirena contains lactobacillus casei to help keep vaginal mucosa soft.

Polyglucuronate: obtained by fermentation of rhizobium melitoli and from microalgae in Hawaiian fresh-water lakes, polyglucuronate is a compound similar to hyaluronic acid, to soften and moisturize skin, plus vitamins B1, B2, B12, and niacin to stimulate production of adenosine triphosphate, boost the energy level of skin, and protect skin from stress. Clinical studies: ATP is a complex molecule and the primary currency of energy in all organisms, from bacteria to humans. In-vitro clinical studies demonstrate that ATP level increases with the concentration of in-vivo studies of cutaneous hydration, using a corneometer, show an increase over time. Other in-vivo studies have analyzed the effect of polyglucuronate, compared to placebo, using a scanning electron microscope. Subjects treated with polyglucuronate have smoother skin and more regular corneocytes. Benefits: Used in Nirena, polyglucuronate provides all-day moisturizing and stimulates ATP.

Rose oil: this potent essential oil, extracted from the petals of roses, travels rapidly through the infinitesimal pathways of the body, energizing cells and bringing balance and harmony. This essential oil also helps to balance natural pH, control skin’s natural oil production, and fight infection. Rose oil is incorporated into Nirena intimate cleanser.

St. John’s wort: has antiviral and antibacterial effects when applied topically. St. John’s wort is included in Nirena to further boost the performance of this formulation.

What is Brazilian peppertree extract?

A unique ingredient of Nirena, Brazilian peppertree extract protects the delicate balance of the vaginal ecosystem to prevent infections.

Recently, science has confirmed the antibacterial, anti-candidal, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties of this special compound.

In clinical studies, extract of the Brazilian Peppertree displays potent antimicrobial properties. It demonstrates efficacy against numerous fungi, including Candida, the fungus responsible for yeast infections. In-vitro studies have shown antibacterial activity from good to very strong against several strains. One research group found Brazilian peppertree extract to be more effective than the antifungal drug Multifungin®.

A 1974 study used the herb effectively to treat 100 patients with chronic cervicitis and vaginitis. It passed an anti-cancer plant screening program in 1976 by demonstrating anti-tumorous action. In 1996 a US patent was awarded for a topical bactericidal medicine made from the oil to be used against pseudomonas and staphylococcus on humans and animals. In 1997 another patent was issued for a similar preparation used as an antibacterial wound cleanser. Argentine researchers documented the oil’s toxicity in vitro against human liver cancer cells in 2002.

The only commercially available women’s intimate cleanser to contain Brazilian peppertree is Nirena.

Distinguishing features of the Brazilian peppertree include narrow spiked leaves and small flowers formed in panicles, which produce small berry-like fruits. The shrub has a trunk 25 to 35 cm in diameter and grows 4-10 m in height. Leaves, bark, and fruit contain essential oil with a spicy scent.
