Balance Activ Vaginal Gel

Hello, we normally recommend that you use Balance Activ for at least one week - one tube per day - then use one or two tubes a week to regularly maintain the natural health of the vagina, and prevent recurrence of BV. Many thanks

Hello, antiobiotics can lead to an imbalance of the natural flora within the vagina, so this may well be the cause of any discharge or odour. Balance Activ helps restore this balance, and stops these symptoms. It is fine to use Balance Activ whilst breastfeeding, or whilst pregnant. Many thanks

Hello, there are no reported side effects known with Balance Activ. Many thanks

Hello, Balance Activ may help if the cause of the odour is BV, but may help you maintain a healthy pH level in your vagina which wil help you prevent embarrassing odours in the future. Many thanks

Hello, yes we ship to the US - simply add your products to your basket and it will automatically work out your shipping charges! Many thanks

Hello, the manufacturers have advised that there is no problem using this whilst pregnant - though if you are trying to get pregnant you may wish to check with your GP prior to starting with it. Many thanks

Hello, Replens and Balance Activ are quite different - Replens is a vaginal moisturiser, whereas Balance Activ Vaginal Gel is designed to specifically target Bacterial Vaginosis (or BV) and maintain natural vaginal balance. I am not sure what ingredients are in RepHresh or how effective it is - Balance Activ, however, has had some really positive feedback - check out the reviews we have received on the main Balance Activ page: http://www.peak-nutrition.co.uk/womens_health/feminine_hygiene/balance_activ_vaginal_gel.htm

You can, yes.

Hi, To clear up BV, it is recommended that you use about 1-2 tubes over 7 days depending on the severity of the problem. Many women notice a difference after just one or two days. It can then be used as a maintenance top-up, keeping the natural pH at a constant healthy level. Many thanks.

Hello, you can order it from us as we do ship to the States! If you select the USA as the destination it will work out shipping costs automatically for you! Many thanks

Hello, Balance Activ is designed to alleviate the symptoms of BV - Bacterial Vaginosis - and is not specifically designed for minor yeast infections. However, Balance Active does help maintain the natural pH balance of your vagina, so you may find that it is of some benefit.

Hi, if your problem is UTI's then I think you should consult with your GP I'm afraid. Balance Activ can help improve the natural balance of your vagina but it will not directly treat an UTI. Many thanks

Yes, no problem at all the manufacturers assure us. Many thanks

Hi, it is a treatment that is normally over a few days. However, it comes with suggestions to help prevent the problem re-occuring. Thanks

Sorry, no - you are best to purchase online here or calling 0800 612 6394 over the phone - we can despatch same day so it will be with you very quickly. Thanks

You simply break off the end of the applicator, insert the applicator into your vagina and squeeze the contents out. Many thanks

Oh, we wish we knew! The manufacturers have not been able to get it through as yet - they are still working on it. In the mean time please note we will be adding US to our list of shipping countries so you will be able to order from us soon and have shipped to the US. It's not that cheap to ship to the US though I'm afraid from the UK

Oh yes - it will be sent in a plain brown jiffy bag or a box depending on the quantity ordered. There is NO INDICATION of the contents on the outside of the parcel at all. The return address is simply Peak Nutrition Ltd with a PO box on the postage label in case the parcel goes missing - it saves Royal Mail having to open the parcel to get a return address. Hope this helps!
Thanks

I am sorry, it's not no. Thanks

As you do not get the discharge regularly and we can not give out any specific medical advice, your GP would be able to assist you further with this problem. Regarding the dryness, we have two products that will help which are the Athena Gel and the Yes Gel. If you are suffering from BV though (your GP can can confirm) then Balance Activ will help, yes.

Yes, this would be of help to you. There are 7 tubes in a box and each tube is for 1 application. However, you should check with your GP to ensure you have BV on not something else. It does sound very much like BV though.

Bacterial Vaginosis - abnormal discharge is often BV or Thrush. Hope you find a solution soon! Thanks

Hi, your Dr was right - if you wash too much you upset the natural pH balance of your vagina. If you have OCD it must be very difficult to suppress that urge to wash - I have a friend who has battled OCD for years and years so I understand how hard it can be! However, onto your question. whether you visit your Dr again is upto you - they will probably give you more antibiotics. However, Balance Activ could be exactly what you need and is designed to help in cases such as yours. Give it a go for a few days and see! Kind regards, Sharon

Hi, some pharmacy's are selling it yes and you should have no problem purchasing it even though you are only 16. However, you should really see a doctor - your mum doesn't need to know this. If you have BV then you should really seek medical advice. There are 7 tubes in a box and each tube is for 1 application. Most people just need to use a few before their symptoms improve.

If the discharge is caused by BV then yes - there is every chance it will help. However, I would go and see your Dr as soon as possible to ensure you do not have a different type of infection. Thanks

Some sell it yes - but it's cheaper with us and you don't have the embarassment of asking for it and explaining what it is to a pharmacist ;-) Order online or call 0800 612 6394 and order over the phone - you'll get it next day in most cases! Kind regards

As of now we don't ship to the USA. However, that will be changing in the next few weeks when we implement a new site that will allow multiple currencies and also allow for the automatic printing of customs documentation in our warehouse. Many thanks

Hi, no your boyfriend can not catch BV - assuming that is what you are asking? Using Balance Activ to maintain a good balance within your vagina is a good idea yes. We also find that many women use it as they don't like anti-biotics for treating BV as well. Thanks

Hi, if symptoms persist we are legally obliged to say go and see your doctor. It's GREAT news that Balance Activ stopped your symptoms so soon though! That's great and just reenforces our claims that this product really works. However, it is a shame your problem came back so soon and I would suggest you see your GP. However, many women use Balance Activ for several days to help ensure a healthy vaginal balance and then find their problems do not reoccur.

There is no problem at all using this while you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Thanks

Glad to hear it worked - it sounds like you just need to carry on using it until it stays away I'm afraid - it may take a few weeks in your case. You may want to discuss with your GP too though they will probably prescribe antibiotics I would imagine. May I suggest you opt for one of our multi-buys to save money if you want to continue to use Balance Activ? Thanks

Balance Activ could very well help, yes. THanks

No. No problems at all. To think of an analogy - if you have upset stomach or IBS and start taking probiotic tablets - if you don't have IBS it won't do you any harm but will just encourage a healthy balance within your stomach and gut. The same goes for Balance Activ. even if you don't have BV all it will do is encourage a healthy balance of healthy bacteria within your vagina and help ensure the ph balance is correct also. There have been no reported side effects with this product at all that we are aware of. Thanks

I suppose it could do depending on the type of UTI's/reason for the UTI's in the first place. However, it's not a medical claim that is made by the manufacturer. Thanks

No, it can't. Thanks

It doesn't effect the pill no and why would you want to buy from a chemist when you can buy securely online with us and save yourself any possible embarrassment buying over the counter? We also are cheaper than the chemist too. You would probably find it in some larger Boots stores. Thanks

If you are not uncomfortable, yes - the Balance Activ does not effect intercourse at all. Thanks

I am afraid Balance Activ is not for sale in the USA at this time, no, sorry.

Hi, BV reoccurs for many reasons but the main problem is lactic acid producing bacteria. When the balance in the vagina becomes imbalanced then BV can occur. Balance Activ helps sort out the bacterial balance in your vagina and therefore aids in ensuring that the environment is not good for the BV to come back. Remember BV is TWICE as common as thrush and the symptoms are similar so people will often treat as thrush without much use. If it does occur you can self treat very easily with Balance Activ. Balance Activ helps with the pH balance in the vagina too and if your vagina becomes too alkaline then BV often occurs.

Yes you can, no problem at all - during checkout simply ensure you select Spain as the destination so we send it the right method and charge the correct postage and we will send you the Balance Activ to your address there. Kind regards

If your problem is due to BV or other discomfort in that area then Balance Activ could help, yes. To be honest, it's not that expensive for 1 box to give it a try!

Hi, they are:
Lactic Acid
Glycogen
Propylene Glycol
Methylhydroxypropyl
Cellulose
Sodium Lactate
Water
pH3.8

I am not sure to be honest. Either way, even if you can purchase from a chemist if you purchase from us we offer the best prices online and you don't have the embarassment of discussing with a pharmacist before purchasing. You may find it at the large Boots stores - just go in and ask. Or buy from us ;-) or telephone 0845 070 6940 - we are totally secure and never store credit card details.

Hi, we are not allowed, for legal reasons, to indicate that Balance Activ could be used instead of a prescription medicine. All I can suggest is you try it and see if you see a difference within a few days. Thanks

I am not too sure to be honest - I don't think so though a search on google should reveal whether you can or not. I will ask the manufacturers in the UK and see if they have a distributor in the US. If so, I will let you know. Kind regards
