A little Messy but it does WORK, September 4, 2006
This review is from: Yeast Arrest - 28 - Suppository (Health and Beauty)
After fighting recurring yeast infections for years, I had truly tried everything! A change of diet helped some (cut back on yeast, wheat and sugars), but all the prescription and OTC meds did was irritate the tissues worse, and yogurt and probiotics never really helped much. It seemed I was always itchy and frustrated. I do not have any serious medical conditions,but am sensitive to antibiotics and am perimenopausal.
Someone online recommended these herbal blend/boric acid suppositories, so I did a little research and decided to try them. Within 4 days, I was symptom free! I used them for the full recommended 14 days, and had only mild irritation of my vaginal tissues toward the end of the cycle- a little Aquaphor soothed it immediately.
Now at the slightest sign of recurrence (seems to be hormone-related and monthly), I just use these for a day or so, and I'm back to normal!
The only drawback is that that you do need to use a protective sanitary pad, as the herbs do "leak" somewhat. Also, some women might find insertion a little odd at first (the instructions could be more detailed) , but the trick is to insert as deeply as possible- if it's too shallow, the disintegration may irritate the sensitive skin, and certainly is not reaching the important areas of yeast growth.
I love this product, and believe it is the best treatment for common and frequent yeast infections caused by benign conditions.

HORRIBLE!!!! New formula does not work!, March 24, 2009
This review is from: Yeast Arrest - 28 - Suppository (Health and Beauty)
THE POSITIVE REVIEWS ARE FOR THE OLD FORMULA!!!!!!!
I suffer from frequent bacterial vaginosis and have used Yeast Arrest for years. The old formula came in capsule form and cleared my symptoms within two days, although I would continue use for about 5 days to be sure. It was awesome and worked better than any antibiotics or prescription ointments. THEN the company decides to change the formula. The new formula is HORRIBLE. It comes in a waxy form and smells absolutely horrible--a combination of Pine Sol and gasoline. I could handle the smell if it actually worked like the old formula, but it doesn't. I won't ever buy this product again. I now have to resort to making my own suppositories. I'm so upset that Vitanica ruined the only thing I relied on for relief of vaginal infections.

This product really helps with yeast infections!, February 3, 2006
This review is from: Yeast Arrest - 28 - Suppository (Health and Beauty)
I've had chronic yeast infections for months and Yeast Arrest has reduced my symptoms by 95%. I have tried over-the-counter medicines, prescriptions, and other natural products and this one has been by far the most effective. It's almost important to mention here that I believe this product has worked as well as it has because I reduced my refined sugar intake and have been eating more veggies and whole grains. I haven't given up all sugary foods and desserts, but I am definitely more careful and aware of what I eat than I was before. The clearing of chronic yeast hasn't happened overnight and has required a change in eating habbits, but I credit Yeast Arrest with making my health (and life) a whole lot better : ) I strongly encourage anybody having problems with yeast to try out this product.
