Candida Albicans Information

A course of antibiotics leaves some people with thrush and candida - an uncomfortable problem that can play havoc with your digestive system and ultimately leave you feeling run down and miserable. Candida Albicans is a yeast which lives in our intestines and other places like the skin. It is kept under control by our immune system and by 'friendly' bacteria which live with it. A course of the contraceptive pill or antibiotics can upset the hormonal balance of the body causing the candida to get out of control.

Some of the more obvious symptoms of candida overgrowth are thrush, cystitis and fungal infections of the skin or nails. Often these are treated by local medication only to recur time and time again. These symptoms should be treated properly, otherwise more serious illness can follow and the symptoms can get worse during the damp days of winter. They include; persistent drowsiness, "tired all the time" feelings, lack of co-ordination, headaches & migraines, mood swings, loss of balance, rashes, belching &/or flatulence, bad breath, dry mouth or throat, nasal itch &/or congestion, nervous irritability, tightness in chest, ear sensitivity or fluid in ears, heartburn and indigestion. It can also cause athlete's foot.

In the fight against candida and thrush, American sports supplement professionals at TwinLab have developed the remarkable Yeast Fighters supplement.  With megastars like Andre Agassi as dedicated TwinLabs users, it was important for TwinLabs to add a digestive health product to it's expanding range.

Yeast Fighters contains the essential 'friendly bacteria" lacto-bacillus acidophilus (in a high potency, milk free form), concentrated odorless garlic extract powder (equivalent to 1500 mg of fresh garlic) which inhibits further candida growth, natural caprylic acid, biotin, and a fiber blend of psyllium seed husks, guar gum, apple pectin to kick-start your digestive system again. It also contains Pau d'Arco, from a tree native to Brazil. Pau d'Arco has proven to be one of nature's best yeast infection fighters. This has been concentrated in a specially prepared herbal tea extract base of pau d'arco, and the eternal immunity boosters onion, black walnut, echinacea and golden seal root.
