How fulvic acid in AEON fights candida infections
What is candidiasis?
There are hundreds of species of yeasts which belong to the Candida genus, and many of these species can infect humans and cause a condition called candidiasis. Of the species most known to cause infection in humans is the strain called Candida albicans.
Normally, candida inhabits the skin but also the inside of the body, namely the gastrointestinal tract, mouth, throat and vagina, without causing any trouble. When candidiasis forms in the mouth or throat it’s called thrush – or oropharyngeal candidiasis – and if it develops in the vagina it’s commonly called a yeast infection.
If Candida yeast overgrowth flourishes, it can eventually lead to serious infection that permeates through the gut membrane and into the rest of the body, causing system-wide trouble. This is called leaky gut syndrome. So called invasive candidiasis happens when candida finds its way into the bloodstream from the gut and affects other organs like the brain, kidneys and heart, causing significant discomfort and disease.
Sadly, candidiasis is frequently misdiagnosed, since its symptoms mimic those of other common disorders.

Understanding the role of biofilms
Biofilms can form all over the body, in areas such as the skin, gut and mouth. Simply, a biofilm is a community of microorganisms that live together in a resistant film that helps them survive and thrive. An everyday example of a biofilm is the plaque that forms on teeth.
Biofilms are a problem because the bacteria and fungi that make them up can become resistant to antibiotics. The barrier they form together is far more resilient against anti-fungals and the pharmaceuticals that would have been able to eradicate them individually.
An abundance of scientific research data confirms that both bacterial and fungal biofilms are correlated with a host of serious human health conditions. In fact, the National Institute of Health (NIH) claims that biofilms are responsible for more than three quarters of all microbial infections in humans.
Widespread modern overuse and misuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics and antimicrobials, biofilms may actually worsen the problem, making biofilms more and more resistant to treatment. Consequently, biofilms are resistant to many medicines o the market today.
Encouragingly, this doesn’t appear to be the case for fulvic acid, which still has enormous positive health benefits despite the barrier of a stubborn biofilm.
Antifungal fulvic acid fights candida
A 2012 study conducted by UK researchers clinically tested fulvic acid’s effects on about 50 candida strain, ultimately showing that fulvic acid has incredible power to combat candidiasis and candida overgrowth. In fact, the researchers found that fulvic acid impressively outperformed other common antifungals, including caspofungin, amphotericin B, and voriconazole, in that order.
Their research demonstrated that fulvic acid could effectively eliminate overgrowth of candida, against both planktonic and sessile cells for all strains. By comparison, biofilms only became increasingly resistant to the other antifungal medications with time.
Fulvic acid is a natural, organic compound found in certain ancient deposits. Though fulvic acid comes from all around the world, the richest sources come from the Himalayas, Hungary, Canada and New Mexico. Long ago, when the earth’s soils were still healthy and fertile, fulvic acid was abundant in the food supply, but today is detectable in only minute quantities in our foods.
Astonishingly, fulvic acid has the ability to completely reset your digestive health, boost your immune system, and supply over 80 beneficial nutrients like trace minerals, prebiotics and probiotics. Fulvic acid’s powers to treat a range of conditions from candidiasis, inflammation, mineral deficiencies, leaky gut syndrome and Alzheimer’s has been scientifically demonstrated.
These impressive studies for fulvic acid’s wide-ranging effectiveness have the big pharmaceutical companies taking notice. These companies have spent years attempting to create synthetic fulvic acid in the lab, but to no avail – fulvic acid is too complex in structure. This means that no company has a proprietary claim on fulvic acid, and it cannot be patented – copying nature isn’t easy!
What this means is that for now, fulvic acid is an all-natural health product (or NHP). Currently, there are only a limited number of authentic nutraceutical grade fulvic acid products on the market. One of them is AEON, which is an ultra-pure variety from the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
Several respected universities around the world have begun to investigate AEON’s distinctive composition and purification process. Currently, AEON is the subject of several ongoing clinical studies to ascertain its effectiveness in treating a host of common and chronic conditions.
This daily supplement is easy to take and contains only 100% pure, nanoparticulized fulvic acid. The most common mode of delivery is via the concentrated form in a convenient dropper bottle – 10 to 20 drops in any beverage once a day is all it takes.
