Candidase is an enzyme formula to manage yeast and fungal overgrowth. Breaks down the outer layer of the Candida organism and metabolizes it out of the body. Maintaining healthy gut flora renews the body's energy and keeps the body's immune and digestive systems functioning optimally.
Candida albicans is a yeast-like fungus that normally lives in healthy balance in the body. It is found mostly in the intestines, genital tract, mouth, and throat. When the balance is upset, this is known as Candidiasis and the fungus travels to all parts of the body through the bloodstream. Candida in the mouth is called thrush. Candida in the vagina is called vaginitis (yeast infection). There is a yeast/fungal component to most rashes.
Three Reasons Why Enzymes May Help With Candida Yeast Overgrowth:
- In individuals with yeast overgrowth there is often a large amount of undigested fiber in the large intestine. It is believed that the mucous that the body naturally produces due to the difficulty of digesting this fiber (cellulose) may protect the yeast overgrowth from our body''s natural overgrowth prevention mechanisms. Cellulase is the enzyme that breaks down fiber. It is also the only digestive enzyme our body does not make. By adding cellulase to the diet this fiber can be removed along with the mucous and our body is able to achieve balance.
- Fungi is a group of organisms formerly regarded as plants lacking chlorophyll. They can either exist as single cells or make up a multi-cellular body called a mycelium, which consists of filaments known as hyphae. The cell contains some fungal cellulose or a compound called chitin. Chitin is a polysaccharide, or carbohydrate, which is structurally very similar to cellulose. For the same reasons cellulase may help remove undigested fiber in the colon, it has been used in breaking down this cellulose-like chitin.
- The inside of the cell of yeast is mostly protein. The enzyme protease has the ability to hydrolyze (digest) protein. Protease has been used in clinics all over the world to break down this fungus and prevent its overgrowth. The addition of protease to this formula helps metabolize the protein die-off of candida. Symptoms of Candida overgrowth: new allergies to foods, fatigue, poor digestion, gas, heartburn, sugar cravings, irritability, frequent headaches, poor memory, "fogged in" feeling, dizziness, recurring depression, vaginal infections, menstrual difficulties, prostatitis, urinary tract infections, hay fever, postnasal drip, habitual coughing, catch colds easily, sore throat, athlete's foot, skin rash, psoriasis, cold extremities, arthritis-like symptoms.
Suggested Use: For moderate symptoms of yeast overgrowth take 2 capsules, 3 times a day at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal for 7 days. For maintenance take 2 a day.

Contraindications: Candidase should not be taken with timed release medications that use cellulose as its timed release mechanism because it will neutralize the medication.

Candidase with Pro-Bio worked as well as over-the-counter and antibiotics to get rid of a persistent bladder infection. Instead of killing off my natural, protective bacteria like antibiotics, my immune system got stronger. - Claudine B
After several rounds of anti-biotics, cranberry capsules and whatnot, Candidase worked. Lori A
