It works by bringing vaginal pH back into its normal, acidic range, which supports the healthy bacteria that keep BV in check.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGynalac is a Health Canada licensed natural health product (NPN 80077445) made by Tyros Biopharma, and its packaging carries the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC) Recognized logo.

That acidity comes from lactobacilli, the \"good\" bacteria that produce lactic acid. When the number of lactobacilli drops, pH rises and other bacteria can overgrow. That shift is bacterial vaginosis, the most common cause of abnormal vaginal discharge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGynalac combines two ingredients your body already makes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLactic acid\u003c\/strong\u003e lowers vaginal pH back toward its normal range, creating conditions where lactobacilli can recover.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSodium hyaluronate\u003c\/strong\u003e (a form of hyaluronic acid) hydrates and soothes irritated vaginal tissue.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-top: 2.25rem;\"\u003eWhat Gynalac Helps With\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelieves and helps prevent symptoms of bacterial vaginosis and non-specific vaginitis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps eliminate abnormal vaginal odour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps eliminate abnormal vaginal discharge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestores and maintains a normal vaginal pH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestores and maintains healthy vaginal flora\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelieves itching and burning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-top: 2.25rem;\"\u003eBV or a Yeast Infection?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two are easy to confuse, but they need different products. BV usually causes a thin grey or white discharge with a fishy odour that is often stronger after sex. A yeast infection usually causes a thick, white discharge with intense itching and little odour. \u003cstrong\u003eGynalac is for BV symptoms, not yeast infections\u003c\/strong\u003e, and it may sting if the vaginal tissue is already irritated or has small tears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf this is your first time with these symptoms, or you are not sure what is causing them, see your healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
