Undecylenic Acid – Undecylenic Acid
Formula SF722 for Candida contains Undecylenic Acid (also known as undecylenic acid). It is a natural fatty acid found in food and the body. It is six times more effective than caprylic acid in combating Candida. SF722 for Candida contributes to a healthy gut flora free from fungi, including Candida. SF722 works against Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Candida tropicalis, Candida parapsilosis, and Candida krusei, to name just a few strains of Candida. SF722 for Candida is also active against other Candida strains and fungi. Additionally, SF722 helps maintain a healthy vaginal flora free from fungi.
A well-functioning and healthy gut flora is essential for nutrient absorption and the elimination of waste products. Poor eating habits, antibiotics, corticosteroids, and stress can negatively affect gut flora. This can lead to the overgrowth and unchecked spread of Candida and other naturally occurring fungi in the gut. This, in turn, may lead to various diffuse health problems. Certain fatty acids work in the gut to prevent the unchecked spread of fungi and Candida. Examples of these fatty acids include lauric acid, caprylic acid, and undecylenic acid. Undecylenic acid is one of the most effective antifungal fatty acids known. It naturally occurs in sweat, which helps protect the skin from fungal overgrowth.
Undecylenic acid found in Formula SF722 for Candida also prevents morphogenesis in Candida Albicans, meaning undecylenic acid prevents Candida from transitioning from yeast form to a fungal form with hyphae – cell filaments that form a network, also known as mycelium.
Formula SF722 for Candida, when combined with beneficial gut bacteria and changes in diet, such as eliminating refined sugar, certain unhealthy vegetable oils, and fast carbohydrates, as well as eliminating junk food in general, is a good starting point for preventing the unchecked spread of fungi. Formula SF722 for Candida has been one of Thorne’s best-selling products for over 20 years. Please note that the product is not vegan.

I have a fungal infection down below after taking antibiotics. What should I do?
We recommend that you address the problem from multiple angles. Be prepared for the fact that it may take several months of lifestyle changes to resolve your Candida issues. These problems may even worsen during autumn and spring, when the humid air contains more fungal spores.
- Reduce or eliminate all refined sugar and anything containing refined sugar, grains (bread, pasta), chips, agave syrup, vegetable oils (except olive oil), and junk food in general.
- Take Formula SF722
- Take gut bacteria supplements.
- Take MSM and Ultra C-400 vitamin C
- Get enough sleep to support your immune system. Use UVEX – Blue blocker glasses to block blue light.

I’ve heard that MSM is good for Candida?
Many therapists claim that MSM is effective against Candida. Dr. John Jefferies from the USA, a Candida expert, uses MSM as one of his primary treatments for Candida.
I drink flaxseed oil – is it okay if I have Candida?
Firstly, flaxseed oil is not a good source of omega-3. Flaxseed oil contains alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which must be converted into eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), the forms of omega-3 that the body can use. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids. Essential fatty acids are fatty acids that the body cannot produce on its own and must be obtained through diet or supplements. The conversion rate from ALA to EPA and DHA is only around 1-5%, meaning that you would have to consume impractically large amounts of flaxseed oil to achieve adequate omega-3 levels. Additionally, flaxseed oil contains significant amounts of omega-6, which most people do not need to consume more of than what a normal diet provides.
It is best to get EPA and DHA directly from fatty fish or fish oils, rather than going through ALA found in flaxseed oil. Candida also requires certain polyunsaturated fatty acids to multiply. Nutritional therapist Byron J. Richards in the USA had many Candida patients whose condition worsened from flaxseed oil. We recommend only fish oil from fish lower down the food chain to get omega-3.
