Women should not set boundaries for their dreams, but instead let belief, hope and love drive their journeys through life, and above all never give up. *As a woman entrepreneur I abide by this belief, and lived it as I left my high paying leadership role at Zepter International to found HiLinLP and develop the first sustainable, all natural and cost effective saliva ovulation test kit in the US market. With over 25 years of experience and research-based knowledge, our company’s singular mission is to empower women to be proactive in their reproductive health and fertility. My drive was born out of an unplanned ectopic pregnancy, a pregnancy in the fallopian tubes, that nearly took my life. At the time I was the National Sales Director of Zepter, built and led an organization of over 500, produced over 100 TV shows in three years, and as a result of my work generated over $20 million dollars in sales in only four years. After having my near-death pregnancy experience, I decided to take a tremendous risk, leaving behind a very successful and lucrative career to launch HiLinLP.

A Historical Overview
The journey into understanding saliva’s role in fertility tracking began in 1945, when Dr. George Papanicolau first noted microscopic crystal formations in cervical fluid. This phenomenon, known as ferning, is key to identifying fertile windows in the menstrual cycle.
Pioneering Research
In 1969, Dr. Biel Cassals, a Spanish gynecologist, extended this research to saliva. His groundbreaking presentation to the Barcelona Medical Board established that hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle influence the crystallization of saliva, which mimics the arborization effect seen in cervical mucus.
Hormonal Connections and Fertility
Estrogen, a hormone closely linked to fertility, modulates the salinity of saliva. As ovulation approaches and estrogen levels surge, so does the salinity in saliva. This increase causes saliva to crystallize in patterns similar to those in cervical mucus, which are detectable under a microscope.
How KNOWHEN works
FDA Approval and Clinical Validation
In 2009, the KNOWHEN® Advanced Saliva Ovulation Test received FDA clearance. Conducted by Dr. Hugh Melnick at the Manhattan Fertility Center, U.S. clinical studies affirmed the test’s 98.9% accuracy. These studies demonstrated a significant correlation between the ferning patterns in saliva and actual ovulation, confirmed through sonographic examinations.
Global Recognition
Today, Hilin Life Products, Inc. holds patents in numerous countries and is a recognized leader in fertility and reproductive health research.
