Abstract: An anti-inflammatory composition of Candida albicans which comprises heat-killed Candida albicans in combination with a neuroprotective supplement. The composition provides a method of stimulating a host immune response capable of reducing a total Candida albicans yeast load below the threshold necessary for the host to keep the Candida albicans yeast and related yeast species in a commensal, non-invasive state. This effect inhibits or prevents chronic inflammation related to invasive Candida genus and allows the composition to be useful for the prevention, prophylaxis, and/or treatment of chronic inflammatory conditions, as well as diseases and disorders of the central nervous system resulting from high L-glutamate levels due to Candida albicans in the gastrointestinal system.
