Description

HIFAS Intima Gel Vaginal Moisturiser is a fast-absorbing intimate moisturiser and lubricant designed to help relieve vaginal and vulval dryness, irritation and discomfort. Its targeted formula combines Herizumib® Lion’s Mane extract, Bioecolia® prebiotic, hyaluronic acid, aloe vera and Centella asiatica to provide lasting hydration while supporting the delicate barrier of the intimate area.

Bioecolia® is included to help maintain the balance of the intimate microbiome, while hyaluronic acid and aloe vera provide hydration and soothing support. Lion’s Mane extract provides antioxidant compounds, and Centella asiatica, madecassoside and asiaticoside complement the formula's focus on maintaining healthy, comfortable intimate tissues. It can be particularly useful during perimenopause and menopause, when hormonal changes commonly contribute to vaginal dryness, as well as whenever additional lubrication is wanted during intimacy.

The gel is compatible with condoms and has been developed under dermatological and gynaecological control. It is intended for external intimate use and should not be used as a treatment for vaginal, urinary or sexually transmitted infections. Seek medical advice if dryness persists for several weeks or you experience unusual discharge, bleeding, significant pain or recurrent symptoms, as these may require investigation or specific treatment.

Intimate moisturiser-lubricant with prebiotics to promote sexual relations and prevent infections.
Women in menopause and perimenopause with vaginal dryness and/or atrophy.

Can it be used in case of itching, local discomfort or discomfort in the intimate area?

Yes, because the selection of natural ingredients promotes intimate well-being, maintaining the barrier function and preserving the integrity of the area.

Can it be used for any skin types?

Hifas-INTIMA Gel has been tested under dermatological and gynaecological control and has very good skin tolerance.

Can you eat several mushrooms at the same time?

Yes, in principle it has no contraindication. When the health professional prescribes different types of extracts already considers this option. Sometimes, the synergistic effect of different extracts power isolated effects.

What is the difference between powder and extract?

When we talk about powder, we are referring to the format that results from drying the fruiting body of fungi at low temperatures and then grinding it. At Hifas da Terra, we carry out cryomilling, which is a transformation process at below 0ºC without the use of hammers or knives. The powder is produced by the friction of 98 stainless steel bars, which break down the cell walls of the fungi and release the active biomolecules of interest, such as prebiotics, fibre, etc.

To obtain the extract, we use a different process that produces a highly concentrated powder rich in natural active nutrients such as beta-glucans, terpenes, ergothioneine, fatty acids, ergosterol, hericenones, grifolan, etc.

At Hifas da Terra, thanks to our R&D team, we develop sustainable extraction techniques, such as Hifas Green Extraction TechnologyⓇ, which allows us to obtain pure mushroom extracts with high concentrations of active biomolecules and active ingredients. Due to their more concentrated nature, the extracts provide greater potency and efficacy in their therapeutic action. This allows us to formulate in such a way that the optimal dose is achieved with fewer capsules per day, obtaining results in a shorter period of time.

It is necessary to take 'breaks' or can I take the products continuously?

It is not necessary to take breaks, both extracts and powders based on pure Hifas fungi can be taken continuously since they do not generate unwanted side effects: they are food supplements that, as their name indicates, complement food within a healthy lifestyle. However, the duration of the application will be indicated by your health professional that prescribes the treatment.

Which Fertility Supplement Is Right for You? A Deep Dive into Proceive Max, Artah Enhanced Fertility, Proceive Women, and Ovum

When you’re trying to conceive, choosing a fertility supplement can feel a bit like online dating; lots of promising profiles, plenty of attractive qualities, but which one is truly “the one” for you? To help cut through the noise, we’ve compared four popular choices; Proceive Max Women, Artah Enhanced Fertility, Proceive Women, and Ovum (Time to Conceive) so you can see how they stack up in terms of ingredients, focus, and best-fit scenarios. Let femme help you to choose the best fertility supplement; we're here to make you feel supported and empowered on your fertility journey. Proceive Max Women: The All-Rounder for Maximum Support If you’re over 35, have been trying for at least 12 months, or simply want the most comprehensive formula on the shelf right now, Proceive Max is like the deluxe, fully-loaded fertility supplement model. What’s inside: A broad amino acid profile (L-Arginine, L-Carnitine, L-Citrulline, L-Glutamine and more) High antioxidant support (CoQ10 70 mg, Vitamin C 400 mg, Vitamin E 200 mg) Methylated folate for optimal supplement absorption A generous spread of minerals (Zinc, Selenium, Magnesium, Calcium, Iron) Why choose it: Best suited for women 35+ or those who’ve been trying to conceive for more than a year Offers the widest nutrient coverage, including lesser-seen amino acids that can support egg quality and hormonal balance Ideal if you prefer a one-and-done fertility supplement sachet rather than multiple pills Artah Enhanced Fertility: The Nutrient Powerhouse with a Wellness Edge Artah’s Enhanced Fertility feels like the “nutritionist-approved” fertility supplement choice, with not just the standard fertility nutrients, but also a whole squad of plant compounds and eye-health carotenoids (hello lutein and zeaxanthin). What’s inside: Choline for cell membrane and brain development support CoQ10 and Alpha Lipoic Acid for mitochondrial and egg health A broad vitamin/mineral base including Vitamin K2, Magnesium, Iodine, and Methylated B vitamins Antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which may also protect reproductive cells from oxidative stress Why choose it: Great if you’re looking for a fertility supplement that doubles as a comprehensive wellness multi-vitamin Perfect for those who like the idea of additional phytonutrients alongside fertility supplement basics Good choice if you want long-term nutrient coverage from preconception through early pregnancy Proceive Women: The Balanced Starter for Under-35s Think of Proceive Women as Proceive Max’s younger and more relaxed sister; a little lighter on the extra ingredients, but still well-equipped to support fertility and conception for those who don’t need the “max” fertility supplement approach. What’s inside: Core amino acids like L-Arginine and L-Carnitine (lower doses than Max) CoQ10 at a moderate 25 mg Methylated folate, iron, zinc, selenium, and a range of B-vitamins Balanced antioxidant and mineral profile Why choose it: The best fertility supplement for women under 35 with no known fertility concerns Ideal if you want targeted fertility nutrition without going overboard A more budget-friendly fertility supplement option while still covering all key fertility nutrients Ovum (Time to Conceive): The Antioxidant Heavy-Hitter If your fertility focus is all about egg quality, Ovum is the fertility supplement equivalent of a targeted treatment plan. It’s antioxidant-rich, with particular emphasis and research on mitochondrial health and protecting egg cells from oxidative damage. What’s inside: CoQ10 at an impressive 200 mg — one of the highest doses available on the market Alpha Lipoic Acid (600 mg) and N-Acetyl Cysteine (600 mg) for cellular protection Methylated folate, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, zinc, selenium, and other essential fertility nutrients Why choose it: Ideal fertility supplement if you want maximum antioxidant support for egg health Particularly relevant for women over 35, those with a known diminished ovarian reserve, or where oxidative stress is a concern (e.g. certain fertility conditions) A strong choice if you’re already taking a general multivitamin and just want a fertility-focused antioxidant boost How to Choose Between Them Your choice of fertility supplement will come down to your age, fertility history, and personal priorities: 35 or older / TTC for 12+ months: Proceive Max or Ovum are your strongest contenders Looking for a whole-body wellness formula: Artah Enhanced Fertility Under 35 with no known issues: Proceive Women Focused purely on egg quality: Ovum It's important to remember that most fertility supplements offer the building blocks you need for conception and pregnancy; but there are some key differences which mean a particular fertility supplement might work better for your specific fertility journey. Final word on Choosing a Fertility Supplement: Supplements aren’t magic bullets, but the right formulation can help ensure your body has everything it needs to support conception. Whichever fertility supplement you choose, pair it with a balanced diet, good sleep, regular movement, and stress management — because no capsule can replace a healthy lifestyle.

The Perfect Storm: When Your Menopause Meets Her Puberty

An interview between femme and Grace Gordon, founder of FluxxBox Grace, you’ve coined the term “the perfect storm” when talking about menopause and puberty clashing in the same household. Can you explain what you mean by that? "Absolutely. The “perfect storm” is when a mother is going through perimenopause or menopause at the exact time her daughter is starting puberty. It’s this collision of two intense hormonal life stages, one where your oestrogen levels are dropping, and one where hers are skyrocketing. Imagine mood swings, irritability, anxiety, and sleeplessness… on both sides. It’s not just a challenge for our bodies, but for family relationships too." Why do you think this is becoming more common? "There are two main reasons. First, puberty is starting earlier than ever. Second, more women are having children later in life. If you had your daughter in your mid-to-late thirties, by the time she’s hitting puberty, you may be entering perimenopause. So while she’s finding her identity and pushing for independence, you’re trying to navigate the emotional and physical changes that menopause brings. It’s a hormonal overlap that’s not just inconvenient, it can feel overwhelming." What does that actually look like day-to-day? "On a daily basis, it can mean there’s a lot more tension in the house. She’s pulling away because that’s what teens do, she needs to develop her own identity, but at the same time she still needs you as her safe place. Meanwhile, your own hormonal shifts during menopause might make it harder to stay calm, patient, and resilient. You might find yourself snapping more easily, or feeling emotional for no obvious reason. Suddenly there’s a lot more shouting, door slamming, and sometimes even silent standoffs." That sounds exhausting. How do mothers begin to “weather the storm”? "The first step is awareness. Recognise what’s happening, both in your body and in hers. Notice your triggers and be honest about them. When you feel your stress levels rising, try to pause and take deep breaths. Remind yourself that you’re both riding an emotional rollercoaster." Should mothers talk openly to their daughters about menopause? "Yes, but with sensitivity. They may be open to talking about it or may not be in the headspace to hear about your experience at the moment. You could say something like, “I’m going through menopause right now, and my emotions can be a bit all over the place, kind of like what you’re feeling.” This normalises hormonal changes and helps her see that emotions are a natural part of our life cycles. It’s about creating space for mutual understanding." How important is shared activity in this? "Incredibly important. Shared activities create non-confrontational opportunities to connect, (where the focus isn't Puberty or menopause). Exercise together, cook together, or have those brilliant conversations in the car when you’re not making direct eye contact, those can be surprisingly honest moments." Let’s talk about self-care for mothers. Why is that so critical during menopause? Because you cannot pour from an empty cup. If you’re running on fumes, your patience, emotional regulation, and resilience will suffer. During menopause, prioritising good sleep, balanced nutrition, and stress management isn’t indulgence, it’s survival. And your daughter is watching. She learns emotional regulation by seeing you regulate your own. You’ve mentioned that menopause and puberty clashing doesn’t have to be purely negative. How so? Exactly. While being in the middle of The Perfect Storm can feel like chaos, it’s also an opportunity for deeper connection. You’re both going through hormonal transformations, just at opposite ends of the spectrum. You can empathise with her on a unique level, because you understand what it’s like to have your hormones driving your emotions. This can make you a more compassionate and insightful guide for her. Many parents worry about getting “the period talk” right. How can they take the pressure off? That’s why I created FluxxBox, the complete first-period confidence kit. It gives parents a practical, thoughtful way to prepare their daughters for their first period, without the stress of wondering if they’ve covered everything. Menopause can make you feel emotionally and mentally drained, so having a tool that’s ready-made for this milestone can be a lifesaver. What’s inside a FluxxBox? Everything a girl needs to feel confident and prepared, feel-good treats, age appropriate and holistic educational materials, and things to make her feel supported. It’s about giving her the knowledge and tools she needs, so her first period and her cycles are something she understands for life, not something she fears. You’ve spoken about conversation being the starting point for confidence. How does that tie in with your mission? Confidence starts with knowledge, and knowledge starts with conversation. Whether we’re talking about puberty or menopause, silence breeds anxiety. When we create open dialogue in our homes, we help our daughters see these changes as normal, healthy parts of life. For mums who think their daughter might be close to starting her period but aren’t sure, do you have any resources? Yes, we have a free quiz designed for parents to take alongside their daughters. It helps you spot the signs that puberty is progressing and estimate when her periods might begin. It only takes five minutes, but it can make a huge difference in feeling prepared. And during menopause, when your struggling with things like brain fog, a clear, structured tool can be incredibly reassuring. What’s your final piece of advice for mums in menopause navigating this “perfect storm”? Give yourself grace. You’re managing menopause and parenting a child through puberty, and that’s no small feat. Don’t try to be perfect. Focus on connection over perfection. Take breaks when you need them. And remember that both you and your daughter are learning how to navigate big life changes, side by side. Want more support for your daughter?
