They're called Lemme Purr, and they're advertised as

gummies to improve vaginal health

.

There it is.

This is the new market launch of Lemme, the brand of which Kourtney Kardashian is the founder.

To better understand what this new product is, there is nothing better than knowing the philosophy behind the brand in the words of its own founder: "For the last 13 years (after having my first baby and researching what were the best options to feed it ), I became really aware of the

importance of what we 'put' into our bodies

. And so my wellness journey began! Since then, I have tried many different things and met with doctors, gurus and specialists, seeking to

live my life in a healthier and more balanced way.

I tried everything from super-sized supplements, the kind that are hard to swallow, to

vitaminized gummies

that were very rich in flavor, but whose ingredients were not as healthy as they should be.

I learned a lot along the way!

I realized that this did not make sense and I wondered why there could not be a food supplement that, in addition to being delicious, was beneficial," says the largest of that media (and monetary) empire made up of the Kardashian-Jenner sisters

in

her Web.

This is how Lemme was born, a line of vitamins and botanical supplements in a 'gummy' format that is now announcing, with great fanfare, its new product focused on the vagina.

"The gummy format is becoming more common on the market. Food technology has stepped up to offer us a

format that is much more fun and also more appetizing

. According to the companies that manufacture these sweets, they contain the

same amount of ingredients as a supplement standard format

. There are 'gummies' for everything: to sleep better, with vitamins for hair and nails, to lose weight...", explains

Esperanza Gil, sexologist and manager of amantis Russafa.

But let no one be mistaken because "food supplements are not miraculous, but

they can enhance the effects of other actions you take for your health

, in this case, sexual health."

Of course, be very careful with 'strange experiments'.

"As long as the gummy is ingested and

not inserted into the vagina

, everything is perfect, because sugars are terrible for the vaginal microbiota. They are the favorite food for fungi and bacteria!", he warns.

It should also be remembered that "food supplements (which

should never be a substitute for a healthy diet

!) must be taken regularly so that they have an effect on our body. However, it is very common to stop being constant, since either because of laziness or because we find it unpleasant and difficult to take pills or pills".

Going back to Kourtney Kardashian's new release, does the vagina really need vitamins?

"People need

certain vitamins and other substances

for the proper functioning of our body, including our vulva and vagina. In addition, we are a whole.

Our digestive system is connected to our sexual system

. Thus, digestive health and what whether we eat or stop eating, it will affect our

vulvovaginal microbiota,

that is, the levels of bacteria and our Ph".

According to this, for example, "it is recommended

to avoid foods that cause intolerances or produce inflammation and sugar

(as we have already mentioned before), because it feeds harmful bacteria."

On the contrary, "it is advisable to include

vegetables or fermented foods

in the diet to feed beneficial bacteria."

How can

diet

and

nutrients

affect vaginal or sexual health?

Esperanza Gil clarifies it for us.

"Proper

food hygiene,

together with good hydration, can have an impact on a

more satisfactory sexual life,

since it will help maintain mucosal homeostasis, tissue flexibility, blood supply to the area and better lubrication."

As I said: we are a whole.
