Default Scientists Demonstrate Antifungal Properties Of Vitamin B3

The current study shows that a C. albicans enzyme, known as Hst3, is essential to the growth and survival of the yeast. Researchers found that genetic or pharmacological inhibition of Hst3 with nicotinamide, a form of vitamin B3, strongly reduced C. albicans virulence in a mouse model. Both normal and drug-resistant strains of C. albicans were susceptible to nicotinamide. In addition, nicotinamide prevented the growth of other pathogenic Candida species and Aspergillus fumigatus (another human pathogen), thus demonstrating the broad antifungal properties of nicotinamide.

I included a link to that research in this post alongside some other natural antifungal agents. I think it wiser to try to avoid candida building up a resistance to any particular antibiotic or antifungal agent by continually ringing the changes and attacking it in different ways.

Here are a couple more evidence based suggestions.

Echinacea purpurea enhance the resistance of immunosuppressed mice against systemic infections with Candida albicans

Control candida with oregano
