Ancient Nutrition Candida

Key Ingredients

Vitamins and minerals from real food sources, paired with time-tested superfood ingredients.

Digestive Enzymes

Digestive enzymes might not get as much attention as probiotics, but they’re just as important. Enzymes help your body break down the nutrients you eat into smaller, easier-to-digest components. They’re responsible for breaking starches down into sugar molecules, proteins into amino acids, etc. — and they’re key to better digestion and nutrient absorption.

Candida Combat Blend

This formula combines some of history’s most-respected superfood ingredients. Organic fermented pau d’arco bark, oregano and astragalus root are traditionally used to support gut health; we use an ancient process called fermentation to help break down those ingredients so they’re easier for your body to absorb.

Clinically Studied SBO Probiotics

Each serving includes 2 billion CFU** of an SBO probiotic strain called Bacillus coagulans. SBO, or soil-based organism, probiotics are a particularly resilient and effective strain. Unlike probiotics that need to be refrigerated to survive, SBO probiotics actually thrive in harsh environments (like the gut). We’ve included it to provide added support for a healthy gut, digestive function and healthy gut flora.*

What is Candida?

There are various forms of microorganisms which naturally exist in the body, and Candida albicans, or C. albicans, is a yeast typically found in your mucous membranes and skin. Usually, it’s harmless.

But if it’s not in balance, there can be negative ramifications. It can get to various parts of the body, including the mouth, esophagus, stomach, heart, skin, fingers, nails and the female genital tract.

Here’s what happens: yeast crowds out normal gut flora and changes the composition of gut enzymes and diminishes the gut’s ability to properly absorb nutrients.

That’s not all that happens, though. Yeast also releases certain unwanted by-products that are then absorbed through the gut or throughout the body. Yuck.

Yeast imbalance can be quite uncomfortable, too. Overall, a yeast and fungal imbalance can lead to overall discomfort.

How does a yeast or fungal imbalance occur?

Normally, the healthy bacteria in your gut can help keep yeast or fungal balance in check. However, a few factors can cause a yeast or fungal imbalance:

• Diets high in sugar and refined carbohydrates
• Consuming too much alcohol
• Using birth control pills
• Being under too much stress and/or living a high-stress lifestyle
• Taking antibiotics, which can diminish healthy bacteria in your gut
• Those are some of the factors that can lead to yeast or fungal imbalance. But these factors don’t always lead to an imbalance.

How much should I take?

The suggested serving is to take two capsules once daily.

Do I need to refrigerate this product?

No, you do not need to refrigerate these. The probiotics strains included are shelf-stable and survivable.
