The Benefits of Iodine, Candidiasis Treatment

Iodine has been studied extensively for its antifungal properties, and there is some evidence to suggest its potential benefit in preventing or aiding in the treatment of Candidiasis a fungal infection caused by the overgrowth of Candida species. Iodine is known for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and has demonstrated efficacy against various fungi, including Candida. Furthermore, studies have shown that Iodine can disrupt biofilm formation, a crucial factor in the virulence of Candida species, and enhance the effectiveness of antifungal medications.

A study conducted in 2013 investigated the antifungal properties of Iodine against Candida albicans, one of the most common Candida species causing infections in humans. The results indicated that Iodine effectively inhibited the growth of Candida albicans and disrupted its biofilm formation. Another study published in 2019 found that combining Iodine with antifungal drugs, such as fluconazole or amphotericin B, enhanced their antifungal activity against Candida strains.
