Grapefruit Seed Extract
Grapefruit seed extract (GSE) is a quaternary compound converted from the
bioflavonoids (found in grapefruit seed and pulp). This plant-based germicidal
has proven to have
a strong growth-inhibiting effect on bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses.
Because of its extremely low toxicity for humans, GSE is becoming a treatment of
choice for those seeking a broad spectrum antimicrobial without the side effects
associated with many pharmaceuticals.
According to published sources, GSE is effective against more than 800 bacterial
and viral strains, 100 strains of fungi, as well as a large number of single
cell
and multicelled parasites. Grapefruit seed extract has powerful anti-fungal
activity at concentrations as low as 200 parts per million. During 1989-90, an
international research team reported in the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine
(Volume 5, No. 3, 1990) the effect of GSE on 770 strains of bacteria and 93
strains of fungus in comparison with 30
antibiotics and 18 fungicides. They found that GSE performed as well as any of
the tested agents.
As a result of these actions, chronic candidiasis (both intestinal and systemic)
is being treated with excellent results using grapefruit seed extract, according
to numerous clinics and medical practitioners. Its acidic nature augments the
activity of calcium undecylenate which is most effective at a pH below 6.0.
