Your Ultimate Defense Against Candida Overgrowth

Candida is an opportunistic yeast naturally found in the digestive tract and on the skin. Candida overgrowth in the digestive tract and systemic Candida overgrowth throughout the body can affect every level of health—from your digestion to your mood.

In those with a compromised immune system, Candida overgrowth is the most common infection in intensive care units.1 Candida is also the fourth most common infection picked up at hospitals.2

According to a report published by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Candida is increasingly resistant to drug therapy—making it a “serious threat” to the American public, along with general antibiotic resistance.3

The good news? Candida CLR is designed to combat this growing threat.

With a unique blend of natural ingredients, our formula supports your body's defenses against Candida overgrowth, helping you maintain optimal health and well-being.

How Candida CLR Supports Candida Elimination

• Oregano Leaf Powder: A powerful antifungal that inhibits the growth of Candida albicans, helping to prevent and reduce overgrowth. Oregano oil, a key component of oregano leaf, has been shown to disrupt the cell membrane of Candida and inhibit its growth (Force et al., 2000).
• Caprylic Acid: A medium-chain fatty acid that penetrates the cell walls of Candida, causing them to rupture and die. Caprylic acid has been demonstrated to effectively reduce Candida colonization in the gut, as evidenced by its ability to inhibit the growth of Candida albicans in vitro (Omura et al., 2001).

• LactoSpore® (Bacillus coagulans): A probiotic that helps restore the balance of good bacteria in the gut, creating an inhospitable environment for Candida overgrowth. Bacillus coagulans produces lactic acid, which lowers the pH of the gut and inhibits the growth of harmful microbes (Hyronimus et al., 2000).
• Protease & Cellulase: Enzymes that break down the proteins and cell walls of Candida, effectively reducing its ability to thrive. These enzymes expose Candida to the immune system and other antifungal agents by degrading its protective barriers (Kirkpatrick, 2000).
• Aloe Vera: Known for its soothing properties, Aloe Vera helps support the healing of the gut lining, which can be damaged by Candida overgrowth. Aloe Vera also has antifungal properties that can help reduce Candida levels in the gut (Vazquez et al., 1996).
• Arabinogalactan: A prebiotic fiber that supports the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, further helping to control Candida levels. Arabinogalactan enhances the immune response, which can help the body fight off Candida overgrowth (Dion et al., 1996).
• Anise Seed: Contains antifungal compounds that aid in the elimination of Candida. Anise seed has been traditionally used to treat digestive issues and may help reduce Candida levels in the gut (Cai et al., 2006).
• Black Walnut Hull Powder: Acts as a gentle laxative to help flush Candida and other toxins from the body. Black walnut hulls contain juglone, a compound with potent antifungal properties (Feng et al., 2009).

• Reishi Mushroom: Supports the immune system and helps the body adapt to stress, which can be a trigger for Candida overgrowth. Reishi mushroom has immune-modulating effects that can help the body fight off Candida (Lull et al., 2005).

Suggested Use: Take 3 capsules daily, preferably with meals or as directed by a healthcare professional.

For best results, combine Candida CLR with a diet low in sugar and refined carbohydrates, and high in fiber and healthy fats. Remember, a healthy gut is key to a healthy body!
