Boric acid is a gentle, natural powder derived from the mineral boron and water. It has been used throughout history as an effective and holistic way to manage yeast infections. It’s simple to use and has become popular among many women seeking a non-toxic alternative to conventional treatments.

Utiva Yeast Balance has been clinically shown to be effective on various strains of Candida (Yeast) species such as Candida albicans and Candida glabrata to help support a healthy vaginal flora.*

Boric acid is a natural, non-toxic ingredient when used vaginally and has no reported drug interactions. It is important to not take this product orally. Call the Poison Control Center immediately if accidental ingestion occurs.

Bacteria and yeast may get a bad rap, but they are both normal and critical for your vaginal health. The two work together to protect your reproductive system and keep a healthy pH (and balance is everything!) A vaginal yeast infection occurs when that delicate ecosystem becomes out of whack, resulting in an overgrowth of a type of fungus (aka yeast) called Candida. Utiva Yeast Balance is a single ingredient formulation that offers triple the benefits by effectively helping to eliminate unwanted odours and abnormal discharge while restoring pH balance to support a healthy vaginal flora.

Using our boric acid vaginal suppositores is relatively straightforward. Here's a quick guide to walk you through the application process:

1-Wash your hands thoroughly before use.
2-Lie on your back with bent knees, or stand with your knees bent. Suppositories are gently inserted into the vagina like a tampon.
3-Using your middle finger gently insert (1) capsule as far as it will comfortably go into your vagina, aiming towards your lower back. Alternative, an applicator can be used. Utiva Suppository Applicators available seperately.
4-We recommend using Utiva Yeast Balance at bedtime so it can work its magic while you sleep. As vaginal suppositories can leak as they dissolve, you might want to wear a panty liner to absorb any discharge. 5-Wash your hands thoroughly after insertion.

We do not recommend the use of Utiva Yeast Balance during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. However, you should see your doctor if you think you may have a vaginal infection during pregnancy.

The product may cause some stinging or burning during yeast infections or when there are small cracks in the vaginal tissue. If you are concerned, seek medical advice.

Sexual intercourse should be avoided when using this product to prevent further irriation or infection. Avoid receiving oral sex to reduce the risk of your partner ingesting boric acid that may still be present in or around your vagina. For best results, wait until you have completed your course of treatment, you are no longer experiencing symptoms, and always consult your health care practitioner.

While there is no evidence to suggest that boric acid suppositories interfere with the effectiveness of barrier contraceptives, we don’t recommend having sexual intercourse while on treatment. The natural acidic component of boric acid may cause discomfort to both you and your partner and cause further irritation.

We don’t recommend using boric acid suppositores while on your period as it might potentially cause discomfort and disrupt your menstrual flow.

While it is generally safe to use a water-based lubricant with boric acid suppositories to help with comfort, it is best to check with your health care provider before applying a lubric while on treatment.

What colour will the leakage/discharge be?Boric acid suppositories can sometimes cause a white, chalky discharge or a slight yellowish tinge to your vaginal secretions. Don't worry, this is normal and is just means that the boric acid is working its magic. It's a good idea to wear a panty liner or pad to help absorb any discharge or leakage that may occur. However, if you experience any unusual or foul-smelling discharge, it's important to contact your healthcare provider, as this could be a sign of a more serious infection.

If you have recurrent yeast infections, it is important to talk to your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause of your infections and to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your needs.In some cases, boric acid suppositories may be recommended as a long-term or intermittent use for recurrent yeast infections. However, it is important to use them only under the guidance of a healthcare professional, as overuse can lead to irritation and other side effects.

Although there may be some symptoms that resemble those of vaginal yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis (BV) has a different origin and requires a different course of therapy.Yeast infections and BV are both included in the large classification of vaginal infections known as vaginitis. These infections affect women pretty frequently. Typically, they can be adequately treated without developing any long-term issues.BV is caused by an organism that is normally present in your vagina but has grown out of control. Lactobacilli, the ""good"" bacteria typically outweigh anaerobes, the ""bad"" bacteria. When anaerobic bacteria overwhelm the normal balance of microorganisms in your vagina, bacterial vaginosis occurs."
