1
Undecylenic Acid:
The largest and most important ingredient in ProNail Complex is undecylenic acid. The formula contains a 5% concentration of undecylenic acid. Undecylenic acid is a popular antifungal solution, and many people use it as a natural remedy for fungal infections – including toenail fungus, athlete’s foot, and similar issues. It’s a fatty acid derived from castor oil, and many people apply undecylenic acid daily for acne, fungus relief, or general antibacterial effects.
2
Mineral Oil:
Mineral oil is the second largest ingredient in ProNail Complex. It forms the base of the formula while being odorless and tasteless. Mineral oil allows all of the other active ingredients in ProNail Complex to work as advertised to promote their own antibacterial and antimicrobial effects.
3
Organic Flaxseed Oil:
Flaxseed oil has fungicidal and antibacterial effects. Like canola oil, it also helps hold the ProNail Complex formula together, keeping ingredients stable and allowing them to go to work. Studies show, however, flaxseed oil can effectively kill multiple fungal strains.
4
Sweet Almond Oil:
Sweet almond oil is a popular topical oil people use for skin health, nail fungus relief, acne, hair health, and more. Studies show sweet almond oil has natural antibacterial and antifungal properties. Some even take it orally to fight back against fungal infections from the inside out.
5
Tea Tree Oil:
Tea tree oil has a long history of use in traditional medicine for its antibacterial effects. In fact, it may be the most popular natural nail fungus remedy on the market. There’s plenty of anecdotal evidence online of people using tea tree oil to clear away toenail fungus. A 1994 study showed tea tree oil was equally effective as the popular antifungal medication, clotrimazole (Desenex) at cleansing toenail fungus infections. Many people use tea tree oil for acne, dandruff, athlete’s foot, lice, and nail fungus.
6
Aloe Vera Leaf:
Aloe vera leaf is known for its moisturization effects and anti-inflammatory properties. These effects could make it an effective antifungal solution. In fact, several studies have connected aloe vera to specific antifungal effects, showing it defends against multiple viruses and bacteria. Aloe vera also moisturizes the skin, making it harder for bacteria to infect the area in the future. When skin is dry and cracked, it’s easier for bacteria to enter the skin and create an infection. When skin is moist, it creates a natural barrier against the outside world and foreign pathogens. Aloe vera leaf promotes your skin’s natural barrier function while providing antifungal effects of its own.
7
Canola Oil:
Canola oil is best-known for its use in cooking and food production. However, it also has antifungal and antibacterial effects of its own, which makes it an active ingredient in ProNail Complex. Canola oil creates a physical barrier that prevents plant infection by fungi, effectively protecting your skin and nails from future infections. Some studies also show canola oil reduces the production of spores by powdery mildew pathogens, reducing your risk of infection further.
8
Vitamin E:
ProNail Complex contains vitamin E in the form of tocopherol acetate. Vitamin E is known for its antioxidant effects. Like vitamin C, vitamin E is one of nature’s most valuable antioxidants. By applying vitamin E to your nails daily, you can support your body’s natural detoxification processes while also helping with inflammation in the skin surrounding your nails. High levels of inflammation on and around the feet make it difficult for your body’s immune system to fight back against fungus. The vitamin E in ProNail Complex could help cleanse fungi, bacteria, and other foot health issues.
9
Walnut Oil:
Walnut oil has antimicrobial, antioxidant, and cytotoxic effects, and many use walnut oil as part of a natural detoxification routine. By applying walnut oil daily to your skin, feet, and toenail fungus, you could help your immune system go to work. One study even tested walnut oil against the herpes virus and found it was proven to work. Researchers believe these effects are linked to the high content of phenols and flavonoids within walnut oil.
10
Menthol:
Menthol is known for its cooling effects across the skin, but it can also promote antifungal and antibacterial effects. Studies show menthol inhibits Candida albicans growth by affecting the membrane integrity of the bacteria, effectively deactivating the bacteria. If you apply menthol directly to your foot and toenail fungus, you could take advantage of these antibacterial effects, helping to cleanse your feet. By affecting the membrane integrity of bacteria, menthol also induces oxidative stress, according to the results of that study, leading to cell death and apoptosis. In other words, menthol helps your immune system function as it should, cleansing away viruses and bacteria from the body upon contact.
