Candida

Candida is a yeast-like organism that lives naturally in small amounts in your mouth, gastrointestinal tract and skin.

With a properly functioning immune system, the body's natural defence against fungal and yeast infections is the production of friendly bacteria that keeps it under control.

However, if the number of friendly bacteria is decreased, the immune system is weakened. This allows the candida to change from yeast to a fungus and start to invade the body and thus cause a multitude of health problems.

The spread of candida produces harmful toxins in your body and has a serious effect on your health.
