Infectious Diseases: Scientists Successfully Found the Vitamins That Suppress Over Growth of Candida

Candida albicans are members of a large group of microorganism 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 stick 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.


NADPH oxidase (NOX) are enzymes that generate reactive oxygen species by transporting electrons across lipid membranes.to induce cytotoxicity against invading microbes. However, according to the joint study led by Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health, Candida albicans is capable of a ROS burst, using a member of the NOX enzyme family to produce ROS with an aim to drive fungal morphogenesis in the animal host(a).


Vitamin A, B2, C and E as antioxidants and free radical scavengers may have a potential role in inhibited superoxide anion (ROS) radicals caused by overexpression of candida via NADPH oxidase (NOX) enzymes(b).

The Anti Over Growth of Candida Vitamins

1. Vitamin B2
Vitamin B2 required for a wide variety of cellular processes plays a key role in energy metabolism and enhances the digestive system in absorbing nutrients and supports the immune system(230)(231) in fighting against bacteria causes of inflammatory disease, including candida(232).

2. Vitamin C
Vitamin C, a water-soluble vitamin and an antioxidant found in high concentrations in immune cells, is not only important in aiding the digestive system in absorbing nutrients, but also enhances the production of white blood cell(233)(234) of the immune system(235) in protection of the body by binding to the harmful bacteria(236) and ingesting them.

3. Vitamin A
Retinoic acid appears to maintain normal skin health by switching on genes and differentiating keratinocytes (immature skin cells)(237) into mature epidermal cells and helps to detox the liver(238).

The vitamin also enhances the immune system(239)(240) in protecting our body through its antimicrobial functions, including Candida albicans(241).

4. Vitamin E
Vitamin E is fat-soluble compounds included both tocopherols and tocotrienols. It not only is a polyphenol antioxidant (242)(246) in scavenging free radicals and microorganisms , but also promotes the immune system in enhanced functions of B-cells(244)(245), the immune cells(245)(247) in the production of antibodies to destroy infectious agents..
