What is the best treatment for candida
overgrowth or candidiasis?

Many different types of anti-fungal medicines are prescribed to treat Candidiasis, including Amphotericin B, fluconazole, nystatin and ketoconazole. Like many other prescription drugs, these often come with unwanted side effects, but may be necessary in the case of severe Candidiasis or where all other treatment options have failed

What is Candidate? There are a number of herbal remedies with known anti-fungal properties which have demonstrated a positive effect on intestinal health and functioning. Native Remedies has chosen the most effective of these and combined them in a unique therapeutic formula called Candidate. Candidate is especially designed to treat Candida overgrowth, prevent topical Candida infections such as thrush and promote the growth of healthy probiotic flora in the digestive tract. Candidate achieves lasting control of Candidiasis and its symptoms.

How does Candidate work?

Candidate contains herbs that specifically target fungus overgrowth. Since Candida is a fungus, this means that Candidate is able to eradicate the fungal overgrowth at its source and help to balance and restore intestinal health.

Candidate can also help improve the body's overall systemic health because, in addition to its anti-fungal properties, it contains herbs that are well known for their ability to soothe the digestive tract, repair cell damage caused by Candida overgrowth and strengthen liver and immune functioning.

What are the ingredients?

Candidate contains the following carefully chosen herbs in therapeutic dosage:

Cymbopogon citratus (lemon grass) is known to stimulate cell regeneration and to soothe and treat intestinal infections, as well as pathogenic intestinal flora such as Candida albicans. It has known anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties and can help to repair intestinal walls that have been damaged by Candida overgrowth ('leaky gut' syndrome).

Calendula officinalis has strong anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties and is also an effective liver tonic and improvings overall systemic functioning and aiding in the removal of toxins from the body.

Tabebuia impetiginosa (Pau d'arco bark) contains the active constituents Lapachol and beta-lapachone, which are also known as naphthaquinones. Laboratory tests have demonstrated that both Lapachol and beta-lapachone have anti-fungal properties as potent as ketoconazole, a common antifungal drug, used in the treatment of Candidiasis and yeast infections. Pau D'arco is not soluble in water and is best taken in tincture form where the active ingredients have been extracted medicinally in pharmaceutical ethanol. To prevent side effects, it is also important that the whole bark is used in the extraction process. This process has been followed at Native Remedies to bring you the strongest and most effective formula possible.

How long does Candidate take to work?

Candidate gets to work immediately to eliminate Candida from the intestinal tract and to promote intestinal health, while eliminating toxins from the body.

However, Candida is a very persistent organism and it may take some time, even months, before your system comes back into balance, depending on the severity of the problem.

You can help Candidate to work faster by eliminating sugars, alcohol and refined carbohydrates from your diet and avoiding the use of oral antibiotics if possible.

How do I use Candidate?

Dosage: Take 15 drops in appr. 1/4 glass water three times daily for 6 weeks. Follow up with a 3 week course about two or three times a year or whenever your symptoms begin to return.

Note: Following the Candida Diet will help to keep symptoms away permanently. Candida loves sugar and starch! Also make sure to drink at least 8 glasses of water every day. (Learn more about the Candida Diet)
