What is the makeup of the Candida Albicans cell wall?
Unlike animal cells, fungi are encompassed by a rather rigid cell wall, which provides protection from environmental extremes. Candida Albicans is primarily composed of glucose (Glucan) and N-acetyl-glucosamine (Chitin), and polymers of mannose (mannan) associated with proteins (mannoprotiens). Cellulose is the structural component of cell walls. It is made up of long chains of glucose molecules. Chitin is resistant to microbial degradation. Medical sutures are made of Chitin because of the properties of strength and flexibility. Until now, there have only been attempts to find key nutrients that would attack the integrity of the cell membrane of C.albicans. YeastZymeMax goes right at the natural defenses of the Yeast cell, its hard protective outer coating. What does YeastZymeMax contain to break down this cell wall? YeastZymeMax uses the following key enzymes to attack Candida on multiple levels: • Protease for protein • Cellulase for cellulose • Hemicellulase for cellulose • Lysozym
