Fungal infections of the nails, also called onychomycosis, are caused by dermatophyte fungi that invade the nail bed. These fungi thrive in warm, moist environments, which is why they often affect the feet. The most common symptom of a fungal infection is the nail's yellow or brown discoloration. The nail may also become thicker, crumbly, or ragged. If left untreated, the infection can spread to other nails and skin.

Fungus Elixir contains a special blend of herbs and minerals that work together to treat onychomycosis. One of the key ingredients in the formula is cytokines, which studies have shown are highly effective in inhibiting the growth of fungal organisms. Other ingredients include tea tree oil, an essential oil with antiseptic and antimicrobial properties, and garlic extract, which has natural antifungal activity.

Fungus Elixir also includes a bioactive protein complex that helps the body fight off infection while simultaneously strengthening the nails. This complex consists of peptides that are derived from milk proteins.
