Description

Caprylic acid was found to have significant antifungal activity, including complete inhibition of sporte germination.

Garlic have been used extensively as a natural treatment for immune enhancement, blood glucose control and cardiovascular health. Garlic has demonstrated significant anti-candidal activity as determined by sones of growth inhibition, and was comparable to ciprofloxacin and fluconazole against Candida and both gram-positive and gram-negative bascteria.

Oregano and carvacrol exhibited dose-dependant supression of C. albicans gerination an dmycelial growth with both fungistatic and fungicidal activity.

Goldenseal has demonstrated stong antifungal activity both in vitro and in vivo. Application of thi scompound to a cutaneous C. albicans infection suppressed symptoms and accelerated elimination of the yeast from the injection site.

Selenium is an essential dietary nutrient that is most commonly recognized as a component of the antioxidant glutathione peroxidase, an enzyme that protects the immune system via its free radical quenching activity. Neutrophile is Se-deficient individuals lose their candidacidal activity, engulfing but not killing C. albicans
