Antifungal Recommendations
You will start taking antifungals during the fourth stage of the plan. Consider taking two or three natural antifungals to prevent the Candida colonies from adapting to a single treatment. Don’t be tempted to rotate your antifungals – this will only allow them to adapt to the treatment.
Most people choose two or three antifungals to treat their Candida. Gymnema sylvestre is also sometimes to control sugar cravings.
The antifungals most often used by Candida sufferers are caprylic acid, berberine, and undecylenic acid. My recommended antifungal supplement, CandAssist, contains all of these and more.
CandAssist by Balance ONE
CandAssist contains a combination of antifungal ingredients to fight Candida and rebalance your gut.
The ingredients in CandAssist include Caprylic Acid, Undecylenic Acid, Oregano Leaf Extract, Berberine HCl, Betaine HCl, Olive Leaf Extract, and Garlic Extract.
It is vegetarian, dairy-free, nut-free, gluten-free and wheat-free. All ingredients are non-GMO, and it contains no preservatives or artificial colors or flavors.
It also uses delayed-release capsules to deliver those ingredients safely to your gut, where they can get to work on disrupting Candida biofilms and colonies.
By using a high-quality combined antifungal like this, you can get the benefit of 8 active ingredients without having to buy all the separate antifungal supplements.
This is the #1 antifungal supplement that I recommend for Candida. You can find it on balanceone.com.
Caprylic Acid by Pure Encapsulations
Caprylic acid is derived from coconut oil and is one of the most effective natural antifungals. Caprylic acid tends to have fewer side effects than prescription antifungals and is well-tolerated choice for most people.
Oregano Oil by Gaia Herbs
Oregano oil is one of the most potent natural antifungals against Candida. The active antimicrobial ingredient found in oregano oil is carvacrol, so make sure that whichever supplement you buy contains lots of it!
Olive Leaf Extract by Gaia Herbs
Olive leaf extract has multiple benefits for your health, beyond simply fighting a Candida overgrowth. It has antifungal properties, regulates your blood sugar, and boosts your immune system.
Grapefruit Seed Extract by Nutribiotic
Studies of grapefruit seed extract have found it to be highly effective against different yeasts and molds, and sometimes even more effective than some prescription antifungals.
Pau d’Arco Tea by Traditional Medicinals
Pau d’Arco helps to gently loosen the bowels, and also has antifungal and immune-stimulating properties. It is best consumed in a tea.
Resveratrol by BRI Nutrition
Resveratrol is an antioxidant that can help to protect the body from free radicals. It also has antifungal properties and can prevent Candida albicans from switching to its fungal form.
Undecylenic Acid (SF772) by Thorne Research
Undecylenic acid interferes with fatty acid biosynthesis, which then prevents Candida albicans from converting to its pathogenic, fungal form.
Lactoferrin by Jarrow Formulas
Lactoferrin not only has antifungal properties itself, but it has also been shown to increase the effect of other antifungals when taken together.
Allicin by Allimax
A potent chemical constituent of garlic, allicin is also one of the most useful and well-researched supplemental aids in fighting Candida albicans.
Gymnema Sylvestre by Source Naturals
Gymnema sylvestre has been shown to reduce sugar cravings, and there is also evidence that it can prevent Candida albicans from switching to its more virulent, fungal form.
