Yeast overgrowth? Take This + More Benefits
Hey Everyone!
If you are trying to take care of yeast overgrowth without antibiotics, I feel that Shatavari is your best shot. You can also take the Shatavri to the next level with our Ionic Angstrom Zinc.
Let’s start with the Shatavari first…
At the clinical study here, the herb Shatavari (aka Asparagus ramosus) shows a high degree of activity against all strains of yeast overgrowth in vaginal thrush patients, and produces results comparable with those of the main antibiotics used to treat this condition (Fluconazole). This research study included C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. krusei, yeast overgrowth guillermondii, C. parapsilosis, and C. stellatoida!
That’s absolutely incredible!
Here is a table from the study showing how Shatavari works as well as the antibiotic Fluconazole. PIC This is great news, because it’s best to avoid anti-fungal drugs to treat yeast overgrowth overgrowth. The research shows that there are now drug resistant strains of yeast overgrowth that are not impacted by these treatments. The more we rely on anti-fungal drugs, the more we contribute to the spread of drug resistant strains. What’s even worse is that after a long course (or multiple courses over a short period), antibiotics can leave your body a literal breeding ground for yeast overgrowth.
Shatavari is simply an all-natural herb, which doesn’t have side effects, and doesn’t build up a resistance like antibiotics. Furthermore, it shows results comparable to the main antibiotic used for yeast overgrowth (Fluconazole).
Additionally, you may want to consider taking our Angstrom Ionic Zinc with it. Yeast overgrowth grows with zinc within your body and steals the zinc in order to weaken your immune system.
Zinc is considered very important for your immune system, because it plays a crucial role in the development and function of your immune cells. It helps your body fight off immune challenges by supporting the activity of white blood cells and other immune components. A zinc deficiency can significantly weaken your immune response.
Yeast overgrowth microbes snatch up your zinc so they can survive better by weakening your immune system. Therefore, you just want to be taking more zinc while you are fighting an overgrowth of yeast overgrowth. Whenever you have a cold do the same thing. The zinc can significantly lessen the days of being sick.
Here are a couple of clinical studies supporting the need for Zinc while fighting a yeast overgrowth immune challenges.
At the clinical Study here, it says that Zinc status has been shown to influence immunologic mechanisms that are important in preventing immune challenges caused by C. albicans. The results indicated that there was a significantly lower level of plasma zinc in women with recurrent vaginal candidiasis. They concluded that mild zinc deficiency is associated with recurrent vaginal candidiasis and may play a role in the susceptibility of women to recurrent vaginal candidiasis.
This next study shows how they actually took Zinc to combat yeast overgrowth!
At the clinical Study here, it states that the resistance to anti-fungal drugs has become the main cause for increasing incidence rate of yeast overgrowth immune challenges in pediatric intensive care units. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of zinc supplementation on prevalence of candidemia and candiduria immune challenges in PICU. The incidences of candiduria and candidemia were significantly lower in the zinc group than the placebo group. In conclusion, zinc supplementation shows beneficial clinical efficacy in reducing yeast overgrowth immune challenges among PICU patients on broad-spectrum antibiotics with critical illnesses.
This is why I think it would be very wise to take both our Angstrom Ionic Zinc while also taking the Shatavari. This combination together has the potential to stop yeast overgrowth in its tracks.
In addition to that, you may want to tweak your diet a little bit to contain less refined sugar and processed starches, since yeast overgrowth has a tendency to feed off of these types of sugars.
Shatavari also works wonders for so many other ailments and conditions.
Lisalee wrote in worried and asked:
“Are you just currently out of Shatavari, or will you be not carrying it any longer? I have found that this has helped me with keeping streptococcus at bay I mainly started it for yeast overgrowth as that’s a big issue in my body since my Emergency surgery that I had to have on my back. However, when I read deeper into your article and how it helped with streptococcus, which is one of the issues that caused my emergency surgery I decided to up my protocol, I take 2 teaspoons a day, Along with the oil, pulling, it has helped immensely with my teeth… thank you Lisalee”
Lisalee originally started taking Shatavari for yeast overgrowth, but ended up discovering benefits in other areas too — and that’s something that shows up repeatedly in the research. While Shatavari is best known in traditional use for women’s health and immune support, scientists have explored a surprisingly wide range of potential effects throughout the body.
At the two clinical studies here, and here, researchers discuss Shatavari’s potential to support:
• Breast milk production in nursing mothers (galactagogue properties)
• Hormonal balance and endocrine support
• Digestive comfort (indigestion, upper abdominal discomfort, bloating, nausea, and feeling full too quickly)
• Defense against certain protozoa (microscopic organisms that can contribute to immune challenges)
• Antioxidant activity (helping protect cells from oxidative stress)
• Healthy immune system function
• Mood and emotional well-being support
• Healthy cholesterol levels
• Support against kidney stone formation
• Healthy blood fat levels (triglycerides and lipids)
• Brain and nervous system support (neuroprotective effects)
• Healthy cell function and normal cellular protection
• Digestive regularity and diarrhea support
• Stomach lining and stomach irritation support
• Liver support and protection
• Healthy aging support
• Blood sugar support
• Memory and cognitive support
• Bone health support and healthy bone turnover
• Adaptogenic effects (helping the body handle stress more effectively)
• Gastrointestinal support (overall digestive function)
• Cardiovascular support (heart and circulation health)
• Central nervous system support
• Fertility and reproductive wellness support
• Healthy stress response
Shatavari is a very powerful medicinal herb!
If you have or know of a person with a persistent cough, Shatavari has been shown to actually be more effective than the prescribed cough medicine codeine phosphate. At the clinical Study here, they share how Shatavari root juice is a natural cough remedy in West Bengal, India. Therefore, researchers evaluated its cough-relieving abilities in coughing mice. They found shatavari root extract stopped cough better than the prescription cough medicine codeine phosphate. The cough inhibition of Shatavari was 40% and 58.5%, whereas codeine phosphate the inhibition was observed at only 36% and 55.4%, respectively.
If you are dealing with yeast overgrowth and looking for a more natural approach, Shatavari may be one of the most interesting herbs to explore. The research discussed above shows activity comparable to the leading anti-fungal drug used for yeast overgrowth, while Zinc may help support immune function during the process. On top of that, Shatavari has been researched for a surprisingly broad range of additional benefits throughout the body.
Thanks everyone for your support!
Sincerely,
Matt
