Zinc-enhanced treatment for athlete’s foot
Efficacy, Safety, and Cost-effectiveness of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles in Whitfield's Spirit Solution for Treating Superficial Fungal Foot Infections: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Most Relevant Research
Our research examined the effectiveness of a new antifungal treatment that combines zinc oxide nanoparticles with Whitfield's spirit solution, aiming to improve the management of superficial fungal foot infections, commonly known as athlete's foot.
We conducted a rigorous eight-week randomized controlled trial involving 84 participants, with 70 completing the study. This trial compared the new formulation, referred to as ZnO-WFs, against traditional Whitfield's solution and a zinc oxide nanoparticle solution on its own. Both treatments were effective in treating athlete’s foot, but we observed promising trends suggesting that ZnO-WFs might offer more advantages, especially for certain tough-to-treat fungal infections.
Our results demonstrated that patients using both ZnO-WFs and Whitfield's spirit exhibited similar success rates, significantly better than those using just the zinc solution. Notably, in cases of non-dermatophyte mold infections—often harder to treat—ZnO-WFs showed a tendency towards higher cure rates compared to Whitfield's solution alone, which could make it a more appealing option for specific cases. Additionally, it was more cost-effective for managing these infections.
Overall, zinc oxide's inclusion in the treatment not only showed efficacy but also hints at a potential edge in simplifying treatment strategies for athlete’s foot, especially when dealing with resistant fungal types.

Dermatitis relief
Most Useful Review
I have been diagnosed with PCOS and impaired glucose tolerance, which triggers athlete’s foot on my hands and feet, particularly after consuming white bread. After reading that vitamin D3 might help, I began taking it and was astonished when the dermatitis ceased within three days. Even after indulging in buns, I remain dermatitis-free for the first time in a year and a half. I cannot express how happy this makes me!

No more leg cramps after switching to a keto lifestyle. I faced severe cramps and constipation, but since I began taking Life Extension magnesium supplements, I've only experienced one episode of cramps at night. Increasing my intake from one to two capsules has effectively resolved the issue.

Pain relief noted
Most Useful Review
I cannot live without this magnesium, and several family members use it too. I had pain in my left foot that made stepping difficult, especially at night. After researching, I realised it was inflammation of the tissue covering the bone. I started taking Magnesium Dimalate and within a week, the pain vanished. My friend had the same issue and found relief as well. It is very helpful for muscle pain, athlete’s foot, fibromyalgia, and tendonitis.
