For many women, recurring vaginal concerns such as bacterial vaginosis (BV) or yeast infections (VVC) are not just uncomfortable; they’re persistent. Conventional treatments like antifungals or antibiotics can provide relief, but the symptoms often return within weeks. One reason is that these treatments usually target either the local symptoms or the underlying imbalance, but not both.
The Solvey Inside & Out Bundle was designed with this in mind. By combining:
- Boric Acid Suppositories; for immediate local relief, and
- Restore Probiotics; to strengthen and rebuild the microbiome from within,
this bundle takes a dual approach. Together, they address both the surface imbalance and the internal ecosystem, offering a more complete solution.
Boric Acid: Locally resetting vaginal balance
Boric acid has a long history of use in gynecology as a safe and effective intravaginal treatment. Its benefits are threefold:
- Restoring vaginal acidity: Boric acid lowers the vaginal pH to about 4.0, creating an environment where pathogens like Candida and Gardnerella cannot thrive (Van Slyke et al., 1981; Tachedjian et al., 2017).
- Targeting resistant strains: It has proven particularly effective against Candida glabrat/albacans, a yeast species that is frequently resistant to fluconazole and other standard antifungal drugs (Ray et al., 2007).
- Demonstrated efficacy: Across clinical studies, boric acid has shown cure rates ranging from 63% to as high as 97% in women struggling with recurrent or treatment-resistant infections (Sobel & Chaim, 1997; Jovanovic et al., 1991; Van Slyke et al., 1981).
In other words, boric acid acts as a local reset, calming discomfort while re-establishing the protective acidic environment that discourages harmful overgrowth.
Restore Probiotics: Replenishing good bacteria from within
While boric acid resets the environment locally, it does not rebuild the community of protective bacteria that form the foundation of vaginal health. That’s where probiotics come in.
- Restoring Lactobacillus dominance: In a healthy vaginal microbiome, more than 90% of bacteria are Lactobacillus species, which produce lactic acid to keep pH low and protective (Tachedjian et al., 2017).
- Oral-to-vaginal colonization: Clinical trials confirm that oral probiotics, specifically strains like L. rhamnosus GR-1 and L. reuteri RC-14—can colonize the vagina after ingestion and restore microbial balance (Reid et al., 2003; Anukam et al., 2006).
- Reducing recurrence: Meta-analyses show that probiotics significantly lower relapse rates for both BV and yeast infections compared to standard treatment alone (Huang et al., 2014).
- Supporting immunity: Beyond microbial balance, probiotics enhance local mucosal immunity, reducing inflammation and making the vaginal environment more resilient (Martinez et al., 2009).
In short, probiotics don’t just replace what’s missing, they actively help rebuild a protective microbiome that keeps harmful microbes in check.
Why together is better: The dual approach
When used together, boric acid and probiotics complement each other in a way that neither can achieve alone:
- Boric Acid quickly relieves acute symptoms, restores acidity, and clears space for healthy bacteria to thrive.
- Probiotics then step in to repopulate that space with beneficial microbes, ensuring long-term balance and reducing the risk of relapse.
Clinical evidence supports this dual approach. For example, women treated with antibiotics plus probiotics had significantly lower recurrence of BV than those treated with antibiotics alone (Xie et al., 2017). The same principle applies here: boric acid provides the reset, probiotics secure the long-term protection.
Conclusion
The Solvey Inside & Out Bundle brings together two evidence-backed strategies into one comprehensive solution:
- Boric Acid to reset locally.
- Probiotics to restore from within.
This dual-action approach doesn’t just mask symptoms, it addresses both the acute discomfort and the underlying imbalance that drives recurrence. By targeting vaginal health from both directions, it offers women not only relief, but also a stronger foundation for long-term balance.
