In healthy people, candida does little harm because it's kept in check by beneficial microorganisms, or probiotics. These 'good' bacteria, however, can be easily destroyed by antibiotics, prescription medications, birth control pills, poor diet and daily stress, allowing candida yeast to grow out of control and produce infections. Thought to affect more than 40 million Americans, candida can cause uncomfortable symptoms such as vaginitis, bowel disorders, ear and sinus irritation, intense itching, canker sores and ringworm.

Healthy people usually have a balance of approximately 85% good and 15% harmful organisms in the intestinal tract. Most of us, however, have the opposite ratio as a result of daily exposure to our environment, and even certain habits that are considered healthy. Taking antibiotics, drinking chlorinated water and using antibacterial soap, for example, often kill the good bacteria essential for health.

The powerful ingredients in Fungal Defense by Garden of Life are specifically targeted to destroy yeast and other fungi to restore a balanced, healthy internal environment. To prevent re-infection and maintain a properly balanced system, you should reduce or, in some cases, eliminate sweets; carbohydrates such as bread, pasta, muffins and glutenous grains; alcohol; vinegar; fruits and aged cheeses from your diet. Sugars and carbohydrates in particular feed yeast, which thrives in sugary environments and causes cravings for those foods to increase.
