Pterostilbene, a natural compound found in blueberries and grapes, has been shown to effectively kill Candida fungi that cause denture-related mouth infections. In laboratory tests, it successfully eliminated fungal cells and disrupted harmful biofilms within 8 hours. When tested in a living organism model, pterostilbene proved safe and reduced infection severity, suggesting it could be a promising natural alternative to conventional antifungal medications.
