Each capsule of Candidase provides:
ProteaseThera-blend
.. .
.. . .100,000 HUT
Cellulase
Thera-blend ..............30,000
CU
42
capsules per bottle. No fillers.
Contraindications:
Candidase should not be taken with any timed release medications.
Enzymedica uses an exclusive Thera-blend process for its protease,
lipase, amylase and cellulase. Each of these enzymes actually
represents multiple strains which are blended for their ability to
break down numerous bonds in varying pH’s. |

Recommended Usage:
For
moderate symptoms of Candida take 2 capsules, 3 times a day at least
½ hour before or 2 hours after a meal for
7 days. (This provides 180,000 CU of cellulase and 600,0000 HUT of
protease). For maintenance 2 capsules before bedtime.
For acute symptoms:
Take 2
capsules, 3 times a day at least ½
hour
before or 2 hours after a meal for 14 days. In extreme cases more
time may be given. For best results 4 Purify can be added each time
Candidase is taken.

Candida albicans is a
yeast-like fungus that normally lives in healthy balance in the
body. It is found mostly in the intestines, genital tract, mouth,
and throat. When the balance is upset, infection results. This is
known as Candidiasis and the fungus travels to all parts of the body
through the bloodstream. It affects both women and men. In the
mouth, it is called thrush; in the vagina, it is called vaginitis
(yeast infection).
Symptoms:
New allergies to foods,
fatigue, poor digestion, gas, heartburn, sugar cravings,
irritability, frequent headaches, poor memory, “fogged in” feeling,
dizziness, recurring depression, vaginal infections, menstrual
difficulties, prostatitis, urinary tract infections, hay fever,
postnasal drip, habitual coughing, catch colds easily, sore throat,
athlete’s foot, skin rash, psoriasis, cold extremities,
arthritis-like symptoms.
Enzymes
may help with this
overgrowth. There are three reasons why:
1) In individuals with
Candida overgrowth there is often a large amount of undigested fiber
in the large intestine. It is believed that the mucous that the body
naturally produces due to the difficulty of digesting this fiber
(cellulose) may protect the Candida from our body’s natural
overgrowth prevention mechanisms. Cellulase is the enzyme that
breaks down fiber. It is also the only digestive enzyme our body
does not make. By adding cellulase to the diet this fiber can be
removed along with the mucous and our body is able to achieve
balance.
2) Fungi (Candida) is a
group of organisms formerly regarded as plants lacking chlorophyll.
They can either exist as single cells or make up a multi-cellular
body called a mycelium, which consists of filaments known as hyphae.
The cell contains some fungal cellulose or a compound called chitin.
Chitin is a polysaccharide, or carbohydrate, which is structurally
very similar to cellulose. For the same reasons cellulase may help
remove undigested fiber in the colon, it has been used in breaking
down this “cellulose-like” chitin.*
3) The inside of the
cell of yeast is mostly protein. The enzyme protease has the ability
to hydrolyze (digest) protein. Protease has been used in clinics all
over the world to break down this fungus and prevent its overgrowth. |
