Candida Cleanse
4-weeks to renewed Health and Vitality
Maintaining a delicate balance of microorganisms is crucial for optimal health. Candida, a type of yeast, plays a vital role in our digestive system, but overgrowth can lead to various health issues. With the right knowledge and proactive steps, you can overcome Candida overgrowth and embark on a journey to renewed health and vitality.
Understanding Candida
Candida, typically Candida albicans, is a type of yeast found naturally in the human body, predominantly in the digestive tract and genital areas. Its presence is usually kept in check by beneficial bacteria. However, when the balance is disrupted, Candida can proliferate, leading to various health problems. This overgrowth can manifest as candidiasis, affecting different parts of the body, including the mouth, throat, genitals, and intestines.
