Active Ingredient	Uses based on scientific evidence	Grade*
boron	inorganic boron (boric acid, borax) has been used as an antiseptic based on proposed antibacterial and antifungal properties. it is proposed that boric acid may have effects against candidal and non-candidal vulvovaginitis. a limited amount of poor-quality research reports that boric acid capsules used in the vagina may be effective for vaginitis. further evidence is needed before a recommendation can be made.	c
propolis	propolis may be an effective treatment for vaginal inflammation. however, more research is needed before propolis can be recommended.	c
vitamin c (ascorbic acid)	preliminary human study shows that vitamin c vaginal tablets given once a day may help patients suffering from non-specific vaginitis. further research is needed to confirm these findings.	c
