Medicines for HPV and warts: supportive products

This lesson is part of the WARTES HPV Masterclass. Preview: the first part of the narration.

In this video, I talk about the other supportive products used in HPV treatment: mushroom-based supports, herbal creams, vitamins, vaginal gels and probiotics. And at the end, I answer one question: which one is the most effective?

One group is immune support from mushrooms. A special compound called AHCC, obtained from mushroom mycelium, has been studied scientifically. It aims to support some cellular mechanisms of the immune system. In a small clinical study of women with long-lasting high-risk HPV infection, 14 of the 22 women who used AHCC became HPV negative after 6 months.

These results are important. But we cannot yet say that AHCC definitely prevents genital warts from coming back. Herbal local products can also be among our options. For example, sinecatechins, obtained from green tea, have been studied in the treatment of genital warts.

They contain polyphenols such as epigallocatechin gallate, and they have antioxidant and cell-regulating properties. Certain formulations have been shown in clinical trials to clear genital warts. In one trial, the warts cleared completely in 56% of the patients using a 10% ointment, and in 34% of those using an ointment without the active substance.

There are also local products containing colloidal silver, citric acid and different herbal ingredients. They aim to regulate the local environment and support the tissue. But they do not all have the same level of scientific evidence.

That is why we choose the product according to your situation. Vitamins and minerals are also often discussed.
