STAR newspaper: couples struggling to conceive may just have a new lifeline - Conceive Plus® STAR newspaper: couples struggling to conceive may just have a new lifeline - Conceive Plus®

About 1 in 6 couples of reproductive age have a fertility problem, writes the Infertility Awareness Association of South Africa (IFAASA). Research also shows that regular lubricants are not suitable for couples trying for a baby as they may harm the sperm.

“That’s why Conceive Plus is so valuable for South African couples. The product is the first fertility-friendly personal lubricant containing calcium and magnesium ions which are essential for cell viability in our bodies and the process of fertilization,” comments Martin Kahanovitz, CEO of Litha Healthcare Group.

Conceive Plus® is the first fertility lubricant on the South African market set to offer a solution to all couples trying to conceive naturally. The product is available throughout the distribution network of the leading South African medical, pharmacy and consumer goods distributor, Litha Pharma, a division of Litha Healthcare Group.

“Of course Conceive Plus will boost our Gynaecology portfolio but more importantly - will bring smiles to many couples trying to conceive naturally!,” adds Mr Kahanovitz.

Conceive Plus® is available over the counter from a large network of pharmacies and on shelf next to pregnancy and ovulation tests. In South Africa, Conceive Plus® is available in two convenient sizes of pre-filled applicators and two sizes of the multi-use tube.

Conceive Plus® has earned an international reputation as the world’s most loved fertility lubricant brand. Whether just starting their conception journey or have been trying for some time, Conceive Plus® is here to help couples to get pregnant naturally.
