The herbs in Candida Support can work together in preventing the overgrowth of candida albicans, the causative agent for oral and vaginal candidiasis. Normally, small population of candida albicans is present in the intestine. But due to poor diet quality, immune suppression, stress, alcohol abuse, long term use of laxatives and antibiotics, these fungi can grow in a large number and proliferate into the mucous membranes causing a condition called candidiasis. Candidiasis is a yeast infection that can affect newborns, infants, women, adults, and the older population. Candidiasis symptoms includes thrush or the cheeselike patches in the mouth or the vagina, skin lesions, headaches, urinary tract infections, diarrhea or constipation, fatigue, and depression. The herbal ingredients of NOW Foods Candida Support have different beneficial properties in combating candidiasis. Pau D’Arco has mild antifungal action but has strong immune supporting properties and high concentration of antioxidants that can promote better defenses against the disease. Black walnut has the ability to expel parasites from the instestine, including fungi. Oregano Oil contains a phenol known as carvacrol which has very potent antifungal properties. Lastly, caprylic acid also has fungicidal powers and it also helps promotes the growth of other beneficial microorganisms in the gut.
