The vagina is naturally colonised by many lactic acid bacteria and other microorganisms. These microorganisms together make up the vaginal flora. The balance of microorganisms is important for overall well-being. The vagina is lined with vaginal mucosa, a natural protective barrier against external factors.

Healthy vaginal flora
The vaginal flora can be thrown off balance due to various influences, such as
- taking antibiotics
- hormonal changes during pregnancy, menstruation or the menopause
- stress
- poor intimate hygiene
This can lead to weakening of the natural protective barrier, which allows fungi or unwanted bacteria to enter more easily. To support the health of the vaginal flora, it is therefore important to restore or maintain the naturally acidic pH of the vagina. This allows the vaginal flora to recover and stabilise.
In addition to using KadeFlora products, we recommend reading up on natural vaginal flora. A better understanding can help you to care for your intimate area correctly and keep it healthy.
Frequently asked questions
KadeFlora Lactic Acid Treatment (KadeFlora Milchsäurekur) and KadeFlora Lactic Acid Ovules (KadeFlora Milchsäureovula) are used vaginally. They can be used to treat discharge and intimate odour caused by bacterial vaginosis. Lactic acid treatment or ovules can be used as a supplement to antibiotics or as a stand-alone treatment for mild symptoms of bacterial vaginosis.
KadeFlora Lactic Acid Bacteria Ovules (KadeFlora Milchsäurebakterien Vaginalkapseln) are also applied vaginally. They are used after treating bacterial vaginosis with antibiotics. The ovules can also be used to restore the balance of the vaginal flora in cases of recurrent vaginal infections (e.g., vaginal thrush) and thus as a preventative measure.
KadeFlora Lactic Acid Bacteria With Biotin (KadeFlora Milchsäurebakterien mit Biotin) are for oral use and supplement your everyday diet.
Both KadeFlora lactic acid products work in the same way â the choice of product is down to personal preference.
- KadeFlora Lactic Acid Treatment (KadeFlora Milchsäurekur) is a gel, which is inserted into the vagina using single-use applicators. The water-based gel has a moisturising effect. The individually packaged applicators are pre-filled with gel, making them convenient for use on the go.
- KadeFlora Lactic Acid Ovules (KadeFlora Milchsäureovula) are vaginal ovules made from plant lipids (fats). After insertion into the vagina, the ovules melt and create a richer/creamier sensation.
The pH indicates how acidic or alkaline something is. The natural pH of the vagina is in the acidic range between 3.8â4.5. This pH is important to keep the vaginal flora in balance. A stable pH prevents unwanted germs from entering and spreading.
