Candida albicans -Therapies

Alkaloids

 Berberine may destroy Candida albicans.  ^[1]

Amino Acids

 Candida albicans may destroy the body's Glutamine supplies (supplemental Glutamine thereby replenishes depleted Glutamine levels caused by Candida albicans). 

Antioxidants

 Antioxidants may reduce the Free Radical damage caused by Candida albicans.

Carbohydrates

 Beta 1,3 Glucan may exert anti-fungal effects against Candida albicans.  ^[2]

 Chitosan may inhibit the proliferation of Candida albicans. 

 Glucomannan may suppress the proliferation of Candida albicans. 

Carotenoids

 Beta-Carotene may protect against (vaginal) Candida albicans proliferation (levels of Beta-Carotene in the exfoliated vaginal cells of women afflicted with vaginal Candida albicans proliferation are six times lower than the Beta-Carotene levels in the exfoliated cells of healthy women).  ^[3]

Enzymes

 Bromelain may enhance the ability of the Immune System to mount a defense against Candida albicans.  ^[4]

 Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) (injected intravenously) may reduce the proliferation of Candida albicans. 

Lipids

 Alpha-Linolenic Acid (LNA) may be an effective fungicide that can kill Candida Albicans yeast on contact and may dislodge deep-seated Candida organisms.

 Caprylic Acid may inhibit the growth of Candida albicans in the Intestines:  ^[5]

 Caprylic Acid is incorporated into the membranes of Yeast Cells and then these membranes rupture, which kills the Yeast cells.

 Carvacrol may inhibit the proliferation of Candida albicans.  ^[6]

 Echinacoside may prevent the recurrence of infection by Candida albicans. 

 Linoleic Acid (LA)may be an effective fungicide that kills Candida albicans on contact and can dislodge deeply entrenched Candida organisms. 

 Omega-3 Fatty Acids may inhibit/kill Candida albicans.  ^[7]

 Undecylenic Acid may inhibit Candida albicans (via a similar mechanism but more potently than Caprylic Acid).  ^[8]

Microorganisms

 Bifidobacteria may inhibit the growth of Candida albicans:  ^[9]

 Bifidobacteria bifidus may recolonize the Digestive Tract with Beneficial Bacteria in persons with excessive proliferation of Candida albicans. 

 Bifidobacteria infantis may inhibit Candida albicans.  ^[10]

 Bifidobacteria lactis may inhibit Candida albicans.  ^[11]

 Bifidobacteria longum may inhibit the growth of Candida albicans.  ^[12]

 Lactobacillus acidophilus may inhibit the proliferation of Candida albicans (by recolonizing the Digestive Tract and by producing Hydrogen Peroxide):  ^[13]

 Lactobacillus acidophilus - DDS-1 strain may inhibit Candida albicans.

 Lactobacillus reuteri may inhibit/kill Candida albicans.  ^[14]

 Lactobacillus rhamnosus may inhibit Candida albicans.  ^[15]

 Saccharomyces boulardii (SB) may inhibit the growth and further spread (translocation) of Candida albicans.  ^[16]
