Candida albicans are members of a large group of microorganisms whose cells contain complex structures enclosed within the membranes, including yeast(2)(3), fungi(4)(5)(6), and mold(6) that live among the gut flora in the human mouth and gastrointestinal tract.
Non-albicans Candida (NAC) species cause 35-65% of all candidaemias in the general patient population(1).
According to joint study, in many cases, biofilm(microorganisms with cells sticking to each other on a surface) formation(7) gene mutations(8), and overexpression of genes(9)(10) are often associated with increased candida resistance toward antifungal drugs.
ROS species have duo functions that are well documented for playing an important role in our body as both beneficial and deleterious molecules in an expression of cytotoxicity against abnormal cells alternation and initiation of chronic ailments by causing the imbalance of the ratio among antioxidants and free radicals, respectively.
Minerals and mineral compounds, the organic substances are also essential in improved cellulars process, but the amounts required are very small.
Over-expression minerals are toxic to the body's organs and tissue.
In free radical over expression initiated overgrowth candida, as differentiated in the vitamins article, application of the addition of minerals of concentration µM500 µM exerted a significant effect in inhibited DPPH, chemical compound 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl of stable free-radical molecules(a).
The Anti Over Growth of Candida Minerals and mineral compounds
1. Coral Calcium
One of the richest sources of calcium not only an important mineral in building stronger, denser bones early in life and keeping bones strong(248) and healthy later in life and preventing the risk of osteoporosis (249) but also alkalizes the body to eliminate the favored environment for a candida overgrowth(250).
2. Magnesium Citrate
Magnesium Citrate is a magnesium salt of citric acid, a chemical agent used medicinally as a saline laxative(251). Besides it is important to maintain a proper level of pH(252) for the body's organs to enhance their biochemical pathways for detoxification(253), the mineral compound also limits or reduces the overgrowth of candida.
Magnesium Citrate can act as a defecation in stimulating natural bowel movement.
The mineral, magnesium plays a key role in the immune response, by acting as a co-factor for immunoglobulin synthesis(254) that significantly increase for both IgA and IgG, the antibody molecules to protect our body against bacterial and viral infections(255) and the lining of the respiratory passages, gastrointestinal and genitourinary tract(255).
3. Lithium chloride
Lithium chloride is a chemical compound with the formula LiCl. Salt is a typical ionic compound.
While maintaining the proper PH levels(257), lithium also suppresses the yeast phosphoglucomutase activity(256) and inhibits candida albicans filamentation and hyphal outgrowth(258).
4. Sodium bicarbonate
Used as an alkaline treatment(259), sodium bicarbonate is important to balance the levels of PH by taking away the acidity environment for a candida overgrowth(260)(261).
Researchers found that 5% sodium bicarbonate on the adherence of Candida albicans to thermally activated acrylic resin proved to be a viable alternative in the reduction of Candida albicans(262).
5. Phosphonium salts
Phosphonium salts with long alkyl chains (C18) show high levels of antimicrobial activity(263).
Application of alkyl trimethyl phosphonium salts(263) inhibited the bactericidal activity against S. aureus and Escherichia coli by increasing alkyl chain length(263), probably through its antimicrobial polymers(264), according to the joint study by the University of New Brunswick, Southwest Petroleum University, and North China Electric Power University
6. Zinc
Zinc is an important mineral in boosting immune system activity(265)(266).
Its nano-structure zinc(II) coordination compounds have been used in zinc therapy to treat candida overgrowth(267) by promoting metallothionein (MT)(found in high concentration in intestinal mucosa)synthesis(268) through its anti-inflammatory activity(269).
