Hello everyone, I'm thinking about adding in GSE to my regimen because of my candida issues as well as all it's other benefits.

What's a good starting dosage for the drops and what should I work towards?

This is what llmd MR has on his TreatLyme book:

Grapefruit Seed Extract 250 mg 1 pill 2 times a day.

Hi Nic! I found this in my supplement graveyard. I bought at one time but did not use apparently. Did you ever get an answer on the drops? I'm curious too. Perhaps this bump will help.

How are you feeling lately??

I took NutriBiotic GSE 20 drops 2x/day for a long time starting around 2011 and only stopped in 2019 when I discontinued all herbals that could thin my blood and possibly conflict with new meds added after heart blockage and stint.

1000Daisies - I'm doing ok, some days I'd say I'm better and other days I'm totally exhausted. So hard to tell what's going on at this point. Still have fatigue, brain fog, headaches and some gut issues. Right now I'm titrating up on LDN. I am at 2.5mg now working my way up to 4.5mg.

I think I still struggle with autonomic dysfunction. If I try to exercise, even a light bike ride, my heart rate goes to around 200bpm. I then get super lightheaded and feel like I'm going to pass out.

As far as the GSE goes, I've been taking 5 drops at night, I then tried 10 drops at night and 10 in the morning over the weekend and felt really terrible yesterday, so backed down to 10 drops at night.

Hi again! FWIW - I found this on a website in regards to using GSE for yeast:
"Add 10 drops to water, 3 times a day."

I haven't tried mine yet, but I should soon. I suspect I will feel nothing from it. Notice anything from your side?
UPDATE: I took 5 drops. Haven't noticed anything yet.

I'm so tired of the fatigue. Hang in there!

I did a lot of research on GSE related to treating Lyme. Not sure if this info will carry over to candida.

According to reviews/experiences the "NutriBiotic Grapefruit Seed Extract Liquid Concentrate 2oz.-4oz." is a highly diluted version that doesn't work very well. Ingredients: Grapefruit seed extract (33%) and Vegetable glycerine (67%).

While the one labelled "Maximum GSE Liquid Concentrate 1oz. bottle" is the original version that some people have had success with. Ingredients: Contains Citricidal (60% grapefruit seed extract and 40% vegetable glycerin)

Hi all, when you get time read user Pirouette's past post on yeast/fungal overgrowth. It's a wealth of information.
