Candida is a genus of yeasts and is currently the most common cause of fungal infections worldwide. Many of the species are harmless; however, when mucosal barriers are disrupted or the immune system is compromised, they can invade and cause disease. Most are found in gut flora and its villi. The strain that is commonly found in mammalian hosts is C. albicans, which maintains stability in the gastrointestinal tract. Candida can lead to systemic infections of the bloodstream and major organs, particularly in immunocompromised patients. This affects over 90,000 people a year in the US.
Antibiotics promote yeast infections, including gastrointestinal Candida overgrowth and penetration of the gastrointestinal mucosa. Women, typically, are more at risk for genital yeast infections that can result from prolonged antibiotic use. Individuals with diabetes, impaired immune systems, like HIV, are more susceptible. Healthy bacteria in your gut typically regulates candid, while factors that cause candida to get out of hand are diets high in refined carbs and sugars (which feed yeast), consuming a lot of alcohol, taking oral contraceptives, eating a diet high in beneficial fermented foods like Kombucha, sauerkraut, and pickles, living a high stress life, and taking a round of antibiotics that killed too many friendly bacteria.
10 common symptoms of candida include:
– skin and nail fungal infections (such as athlete’s foot)
– feeling tired and worn down or suffering from chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia
– digestive issues such as bloating, constipation, or diarrhea
– autoimmune disease like rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, ulcerative colitis, etc.
– difficulty concentrating, poor memory, lack of focus, ADD, ADHD, and brain fog
– skin issues such as eczema, psoriasis, hives, and rashes
– irritability, mood swings, anxiety, or depression
– vaginal infections, UTI’s, rectal itching, or vaginal itching
– severe seasonal allergies or itchy ears
– strong sugar and refined car cravings
Testing for candida overgrowth include simple blood tests and stool tests among others. Treatment includes stopping yeast overgrowth, change in diet to a low carb diet, and eliminating simple sugars. Among others, these measures can result in lowered candida in about three to six months. A recommended measure of treatment includes taking systemic enzymes. Floracor is known as a candida yeast cleanse that is a proper blend of enzymes and probiotics to help clean out toxic material trapped in the intestinal villi, increase absorption and restore microflora balance. In addition to restoring balance, Floracor can retain control over the candida. Enzymes, such as serrapeptase, cellulase, and chitosanase, breakdown the outer cell wall of candida, weakening its hold on intestinal mucosa and reducing its viability.
Floracor-GI is a full-spectrum blend of probiotics, prebiotics, and enzymes expertly formulated to maintain a proper balance of intestinal microflora, which is “friendly bacteria”. Its properties are as follows:
– Quad-action gastrointestinal cleanse
– Candida yeast cleanse
– Supports the removal of debris and toxins
– Chitosanase aids in candida cell wall breakdown
– Stimulates immune system with natural antimicrobial factors
– Promotes healthy digestion and improved nutrient absorption
– Probiotic spore forming B. coagulans (L. sporogenes) survives acidic conditions of stomach and helps restore microfloral balance in GI tract
There are eleven different species of probiotic bacteria that help maintain microflora balance, Fructooligosaccharides are the prebiotics that nourish and support probiotic growth and colonization, protease is the enzyme that aids in protein digestion, cellulase for plant fiber digestion, chitosanase for candida control, and serrapeptase for improved immune response. Floracor also includes added trace minerals and antioxidant support.
