Zinc's potential against yeast infections
We explored the effects of zinc-based treatments on yeast infections, particularly focusing on the interaction between zinc-aluminum layered double hydroxides (ZnAl LDHs) and the yeast pathogen. Previous concerns regarding antifungal resistance have prompted the search for new treatments, and our study investigates how these zinc compounds might help.
Through careful experimentation, we used atomic force microscopy (AFM) to observe how ZnAl LDH nanoparticles interacted with yeast cells at a very small scale. Our results showed that these nanoparticles not only had visible antifungal properties but also caused significant damage to the yeast cell walls.
The force measurements revealed strong adhesive interactions between the zinc compounds and the yeast cells, implying that these interactions may play a crucial role in the antifungal activity. In contrast, control substances showed little to no adhesion, underscoring the unique properties of zinc-based treatments.
Overall, our findings suggest a promising avenue in the fight against yeast infections, showing how zinc could help bind to and damage fungal pathogens. It’s an exciting development that offers hope in tackling persistent antifungal resistance issues.

We explored the potential of a special zinc-enhanced formulation of griseofulvin to combat yeast infections and dermatophytes. By creating a griseofulvin zinc nanohybrid emulsion (GF-Zn-NHE), researchers sought to improve the antifungal activity of griseofulvin, a common treatment for skin infections.
The study involved preparing the GF-Zn-NHE using advanced techniques and confirming its composition through spectroscopy methods. The results showed that the new formulation not only increased the effectiveness of griseofulvin against various fungi and bacteria but also maintained stability over time.
What’s interesting is that the GF-Zn-NHE displayed remarkable antimicrobial activity compared to traditional treatments. In fact, it showed high effectiveness against certain yeast species, such as Cryptococcus neoformans and Candida albicans, with very low minimum inhibitory concentrations. These findings suggest that zinc can significantly enhance the antifungal properties of griseofulvin, offering a promising avenue for treating stubborn yeast infections.
Overall, our investigation highlighted how incorporating zinc into antifungal treatments like griseofulvin can potentially lead to better outcomes for patients dealing with yeast infections.

I bought this because I had a sore throat due to a coronavirus infection. It tastes delicious and is shaped like ramune. It's small, and even my husband, who dislikes medicine, enjoyed it. It also relieved my sore throat effectively.

I took zinc from this company due to good reviews. The orange flavour is very strong after the tablet dissolves. If you dislike the aftertaste, drinking some water helps. The small tablets are handy and importantly, they aided when my husband fell ill with a viral respiratory infection. We gave him two dissolvable tablets initially, then after dinner for three days, and incredibly, the symptoms appeared to lessen significantly, the throat softened, and his health improved.

I use these with the hope of reducing colds and flus. I take them when other family members are unwell or if I exhibit symptoms. I haven't experienced any infections progress in the year I've been using them.
