We explored how silibinin, derived from the milk thistle plant, affects Candida albicans, the yeast that can lead to infections. Our research demonstrated that silibinin treatment significantly increased reactive oxygen species, triggering a cascade of events that caused yeast cell death, or apoptosis. Notably, we observed that mitochondrial calcium overload plays a vital role in this process. While silibinin shows promise for combating yeast infections, our findings highlight the importance of further research to fully understand its potential and mechanisms.

We investigated how silibinin, a compound from milk thistle, impacts yeast infections, specifically targeting Candida albicans. The study revealed that silibinin demonstrates antifungal properties by damaging the fungal plasma membrane and preventing biofilm formation.
After testing various concentrations, we observed significant membrane disruption at doses over 100 µg/mL. This shows that silibinin not only affects the yeast's structure but also hampers its ability to form protective biofilms.
Overall, while promising, more research is needed to fully understand silibinin’s effectiveness as a widespread treatment for yeast infections.

Enhanced immunity
19 people found this helpful
I started taking this supplement a week ago. Although I initially purchased it for my husband's allergies some months back, it remained unused. I was feeling quite unwell; my upper respiratory infection had worsened into a lower one, and I was on the brink of needing antibiotics. In a bid to avoid them, I decided to give this a try, as the reviews indicated its positive effects on immunity. Following the advice to take it with resveratrol and a multivitamin, I noticed my chest congestion easing after just one dose. My fever, which hovered around 100.6F, surged to 102.7F—a clear sign my immune system was responding. I allowed the fever to subside naturally within a day. I felt invigorated and mentally alert, and my longstanding dermatitis is beginning to heal significantly, with reduced itching. I’m eager to see the long-term benefits.
