It is estimated that over 90% of the U.S. population has some degree of Candida overgrowth. What is Candida albicans? It is a yeast organism that normally lives in the mouth, on your skin and in your intestinal tract. If you are a female, it can also live in the vagina.

In a normal healthy body, the immune system and the "friendly bacteria" that inhabit the intestinal tract keep Candida overgrowth under control. However, in today's polluted and stressful environment, and with our less than perfect dietary habits, most of us do not live at our maximum health potential. When our immune system is weak, or we have taken a series of antibiotics, the natural balance of our body is disturbed. Antibiotics are prescribed to eliminate unhealthy bacteria in the body. However, they also eliminate healthy or "good" bacteria enabling the Candida organism to multiply unchecked.

Candida is a living organism which excretes toxic waste. This can lead to a variety of problems including the syptoms listed above. Not only does our diet of excessive sugar and carbohydrates contribute towards increased susceptibility - oral contraceptives and chemicals found in today's food and drink play a major role as well. People that have been battling chronic symptoms such as fatigue and low immunity without relief should explore the possibility of Candida overgrowth and take the necessary steps to alleviate this condition.
