OUR PILLARS
Gyneacology
55% of postmenopausal women experience symptoms of vaginal dryness.1
Vaginal dryness can occur at any age due to several different causes, but it is mostly associated with a drop in oestrogen levels, a condition frequent in menopausal.2,3
Other oestrogen deficiency states may affect cancer survivors, postpartum women and those who have been taking oral contraceptives for long time.2,3
Vaginal dryness is often accompanied by other symptoms like burning, irritation, dyspareunia, post-coital bleeding, vaginal bleeding, painful intercourse3 and increased risk for recurrent vaginal infections and urinary tract infections.2

UROLOGY
Urinary disorders significantly impact quality of life, causing bothersome and sometimes disabling symptoms, as well as potential long-term complications.
The need to urinate frequently (pollakiuria) or at night (nocturia) disrupts sleep and work or social activities, disrupting daily life.
Recurrent infections and incontinence can cause psychological effects, leading to social isolation, anxiety, and a reduction in overall well-being.
Changing dietary and physical activity habits is often necessary to manage or prevent these disorders.
NEUROSCIENCE
Neurological disorders affect up to one billion people worldwide.1
Neuroendocrine disorders are related to a variety of behavioural symptoms such as weakness and fatigue, depressed mood, lack of motivation, decreased performance at work and in sport, decreased vitality, increased anxiety and irritability, insomnia, difficulty concentrating and impaired memory.2
Metabolic alteration of neurons and neurotransmitters contribute to develop depression and stress-related disorders.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has ranked depression the 4th leading cause of disability worldwide and projects that by 2030, it will be the first leading cause.3 Modern technologies highlighted both the crucial role played by membrane phospholipids in ensuring optimal neuronal function in the adult brain and the relative loss of their efficacy during the ageing process.2

Inflammation is part of the body’s defence mechanism by which the immune system recognizes and removes harmful and foreign stimuli and begins the healing process. Inflammation can be either acute or chronic.
Tissue damage due to trauma, microbial invasion, or noxious compounds can induce acute inflammation.
It starts rapidly, becomes severe in a short time and symptoms may last for a few days
It starts rapidly, becomes severe in a short time and symptoms may last for a few days
Chronic inflammation is also referred to as slow, long-term inflammation
lasting for prolonged periods of several months to years. Generally, the
extent and effects of chronic inflammation vary with the cause of the injury
and the ability of the body to repair and overcome the damage.
Chronic inflammatory diseases are the most significant cause of death in the world.1
