I want to try Grapefruit seed extract and am curious which give the most benefits liquid or pill? or are they both the same?

I heard it's good for Candida and infections?

Be carefull it can increase your blood presssure if taken in large doses. But it is good for candida - I have used a nose spray for sinus problems that contained Nystatin & grapefruit seed extract.

Caprylic Acid in a capsule form is also very good for candida problems.

I recommend the liquid form, it the is the one I use, but be prepared because it tastes HORRIBLE. My wisdom broke though this summer and I developed an infection and I refused to take antibiotics, so I gargled with tea tree oil and water and I added a few drops of grapefruit seed extract to a glass of water and drank it. The infection was gone in just a couple of days. There are many uses for this, another is to fill a glass with water and put some drops in there and let your toothbrush soak to keep it clean, I do that for myself and my toddler daughter.

HI

I have tried many things to help with candida (had it for 16 years), including prescription drugs, threelac, etc. Many don't work or don't work for a long time. None work if you don't control the diet. I've tried the liquid grapefruit seed extract. However, what works best is half a whole grapefruit, including the peel, all the pith and seeds, liquidised. It's not pleasant but I've found it much more effective than anything I've tried over a period of 17 years. More effective than the liquid extract. Wondered if the essential oils in the peel have some impact on the candida?

Regards

Hi, how did you do that? are you saying that you ate the whole grapefruit well half, including seeds, I dont know if I could manage that, so, you are saying it works better than the extract
