The seed of the grapefruit has unique antimicrobial properties. It is an excellent aid in the treatment of various stomach and intestinal diseases. Another well-known benefit is its positive effect on the lungs and respiratory system. Fruits rich in vitamin C, such as grapefruit, are beneficial for lung function. [01.]

Grapefruit seed extract naturally kills bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi without harming the body. According to research, grapefruit seed extract is a natural antibiotic that, thanks to its active ingredients, can eliminate hundreds of virus strains and fungi.

Grapefruit seed extract can be effective for: viruses and warts, fungal infections, sore throat, cough, diarrhea, folliculitis, skin rashes and shingles, in aromatherapy bathwater, for inhalation, and for improving digestion. [02.]

It can also be used mixed into face creams to help prevent acne and blackheads. Grapefruit seed extract may help reduce symptoms of viral, fungal, or bacterial infections without side effects.

How to use grapefruit seed extract correctly?

When using grapefruit seed extract, it's essential to follow the directions of your doctor, naturopath, or pharmacist. It's also advisable to check the product’s manufacturer instructions. The extract can be used wherever pathogens—bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites—cause illness or dysfunction. This may mean internal or external use.

The most important factor when it comes to usage is knowing the proper dilution of the extract. The extract must always be carefully diluted.
The only exceptions to this important rule are the treatment of warts, nail fungus, and, if the skin is intact and not damaged, athlete’s foot. [03.]

For internal use, mix the desired number of drops into a glass of water or fruit juice.
Children - and many adults - prefer to take it with juice. For infants, a few drops can be mixed with fruit juice and given in a baby bottle.
Freshly squeezed orange juice is especially suitable for dilution, as it almost completely neutralizes the bitter taste.

For external use, water, vegetable oil, or glycerin can serve as a diluting agent.
In all cases: mix well! Undiluted use can irritate the skin and unnecessarily damage injured tissue.

10 conditions where we recommend using Mannavita grapefruit seed extract

Against Candida

Grapefruit seed first damages the cell wall and membrane of Candida, breaking down its structural integrity. This process leads to the disintegration of certain fungal cells. In the second phase, it inhibits Candida reproduction by blocking the enzymes required for the fungus’s energy production and growth.

One major advantage of grapefruit seed extract is that it does not destroy the gut flora, unlike some synthetic antifungal agents. It is a much gentler solution, especially for long-term use. [04.]

Against vaginal yeast infections

Grapefruit seed extract is particularly recommended as part of therapy for yeast infections caused by Candida albicans. It helps reduce inflammation, relieve itching and burning, and supports the restoration of vaginal flora balance.

Its mechanism of action, as with internal fungal infections, is based on damaging the Candida cell wall and membrane, making the fungal cells permeable, non-viable, and ultimately causing them to die. Grapefruit seed also inhibits the enzymes essential for Candida's metabolism, preventing it from spreading and reproducing.

For treating vaginal infections, grapefruit seed extract can be used both externally and internally, but always with care.

For internal use, take the recommended 3 x 15 drops daily.

For external use, a diluted sterile solution can be prepared:

• Mix 5-10 drops of grapefruit seed extract in 1 dl water
• Gently rinse the vagina with the solution
• The process can be repeated 1-3 times daily
• After 7-10 days, take a 2-3 day break

For athlete’s foot and nail fungus

Athlete’s foot and nail fungus are often caused by dermatophytes - like Trichophyton species - or yeasts such as Candida, which thrive in warm, moist environments. Grapefruit seed extract may help combat infections due to its multi-directional antimicrobial effects, reducing itching, flaking, and skin irritation.

For athlete’s foot, use the extract diluted and topically. Prepare a foot bath:

• Mix 15-20 drops of grapefruit seed extract into 1 liter of lukewarm water
• Soak the feet for 15-20 minutes, 1–2 times daily

For nail fungus, the extract can be applied directly to the affected nail 2-3 times a day, preferably after filing, to enhance absorption.

Treatment often requires several weeks or months, since nails grow slowly and complete treatment is needed for full recovery.

Disinfect shoes and maintain proper foot hygiene to avoid reinfection. [05.]

Ointment mix:

• Mix 10-15 drops with 1 tablespoon olive or coconut oil,
• Apply to the fungal area and wrap with gauze

Against Canker sores and Oral thrush

The oral mucosa is a sensitive area, so it’s important to choose gentle and natural solutions. The active ingredients in grapefruit seed extract - especially bioflavonoids and phenolic compounds - help inhibit bacterial and fungal growth, reduce inflammation, and support mucosal regeneration.

For canker sores, its antibacterial effect can help prevent secondary infections and speed up wound healing.

For oral thrush, caused by Candida albicans overgrowth, it disrupts the fungus's cell wall, inhibits growth, and promotes pathogen elimination.

Grapefruit seed extract also supports the immune response and helps restore the balance of the oral microbiome.

• Mix 4-5 drops of grapefruit seed extract with 50 ml of water,
• Rinse the mouth 2-3 times daily

Properties of Mannavita grapefruit seed drops

Against Helicobacter pylori and E. coli

The components of grapefruit seed extract - especially bioflavonoids, naringin, limonoids, and phenolic compounds - can disrupt the cell structure of H. pylori and inhibit its function. It damages the bacteria’s cell wall and membrane, which leads to its destruction.

Grapefruit seed extract also inhibits enzymes that help the bacteria survive in acidic environments, such as urease, which neutralizes stomach acid for H. pylori.
Additionally, its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects soothe the gastric mucosa and aid in regeneration. The benefit of grapefruit seed extract is that it can target not only H. pylori, but also other pathogenic bacteria that contribute to digestive problems.

Against herpes virus

Grapefruit seed extract inhibits the enzymes essential for viral replication. Its powerful bioflavonoids and antioxidants have anti-inflammatory and tissue-regenerating properties. This is particularly helpful for herpes, as the extract helps the affected area heal faster.

• Dilute 1-2 drops in 1 teaspoon of coconut or olive oil,
• Apply to the affected skin several times daily using a cotton swab

For colds and sore throat

Grapefruit seed extract is an excellent natural remedy for colds and sore throat, due to its strong antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties. It works against viruses and bacteria responsible for cold, flu, and nasal infections.

Its anti-inflammatory effect relieves sore throat, reduces irritation, and promotes mucosal healing. The antioxidant effects of the bioflavonoids help neutralize harmful free radicals produced during inflammation.

Against intestinal parasites

The mechanism of grapefruit seed extract against intestinal parasites is multi-directional.
It partially blocks the parasites' nutrient absorption, inhibits enzymes essential for digestion and survival, and makes the intestinal environment hostile for them.
