Vitanica Candidastat, Yeast Balance Supplement and Support, Vegan, 120 Capsules

My naturopath recommended this supplement and I'm very happy that she did. I have had candida in my gut and on my skin for quite some time, possibly for the last 10+ years. I grew up eating processed foods, tons of sugar, very high carbs, antibiotics, etc. so it's no surprise that I started getting a ton of food allergies a few years ago. I had cleared up most of my candida last year over a span of 4 months, while taking this supplement daily. My ND had upped my dosage to 6 caps a day in the beginning but the die-off reaction was really strong so I gradually made my way from 4 a day to 6 a day. If you have candida and you are adhering to a strict candida diet (no sugar, no gluten/wheat, no fermented food, low carbs) while taking this supplement, you should start to see positive results within a few weeks. At least I did. My stomach bloat gradually decreased, my energy started to return, depression lessened as well as anxiety. Within two months, I felt like a new person. It was wonderful, and I know that Candidastat helped tremendously. Since I slipped up on the diet many times as it is so strict, I started taking these supplements again about two weeks ago and have already seen results once again. Bloating is decreasing daily, my energy is rising, and I'm feeling pretty good overall. I did have about three days where I was utterly exhausted, lethargic and a little irritable but it passed (low carb flu/die-off). Just knowing that this supplement works really well helps me get through the rough days, because I know how amazing I'll feel in a few months. The really awesome thing is that the candida itself hasn't seemed to become immune to the antifungals in the supplement, so I haven't had to switch to a different brand. The supplement itself doesn't seem to have much of a taste, although occasionally I'll have garlic burps or my mouth will taste like garlic. It isn't so bad as to be a problem. The only issue I have is the price. If the price were lower, these would be much more affordable, since one bottle seems to last a little less than a month.

I use it when I feel an infection coming on and/or when I have sweets to balance my system.

I've been taking this supplement for 2 years. I feel so much better now and would be very reluctant to stop taking it!

I am amazed. I use a period app called ptracker to track my period days since I can be irregular. I have started taking these supplements during the week the app tells me I’m fertile and ovulating. I went from a 8/10 pain every month since I was 12 to a 1/10 mild discomfort for the past two months. I cannot believe it. I’m going to keep taking them every month because this is literally the only thing that has worked for me EVER. I refuse to take ibuprofen since it destroys the liver so this is a miracle for me. I discovered it accidentally since I also use them whenever I have a yeast infection and it clears right up!

In the last year or so, I found out about the issues with Candida overgrowth in our bodies. I had no idea that a lot of my skin problems (and more) were related to that. I began using anti-Candida supplements from another brand and WOW. Problems went away so dramatically. The other brand seems to have disappeared .. so I went looking for a replacement. I added this to my daily routine. It seems to be fine, helping me maintain this new and improved fungal-free biome. Put it this way, the problems haven't come back and I'm feeling good. Since I already went through the purge about eight months ago, I can't effectively judge what it would do for someone with a whacked biome like I had before. I'm happy so far.

I originally tried this about a month ago, but stopped use because it made me extremely nauseous. I was following the advice to take 2 pills with food, but (for me) taking it with food was the problem. Now I take it 2 hours before eating, very early in the morning, and then another 2 pills at night, a few hours after eating. No nausea now!Added bonus is that my cystic acne is quickly clearing up. I already follow an acne treatment & have acne occasionally, but with my chronic yeast infections i've had severe cystic acne. Cysts the size of nickels sometimes, very swollen & painful. Within two days of using this, the huge cysts i have on my face & neck have decreased in size significantly & some have dried up completely. Amazing & unexpected!!!

As a recurrent yeast infection sufferer, I had become desperate with no relief in sight. Every month, I was prescribed antifungals and antibiotics, which started to hurt my joints, contributed to an outbreak of acne patches that covered my face, and seemed to contribute to the recurrence of my infections.I visited a Naturopathic Physician and I was prescribed Candidastat. It works! I had lost hope, for the most part prior to trying this supplement. Candidastat in combination with other supplements has kept the yeast overgrowth away. If you are tortured by yeast overgrowth discomfort in your gut, mouth, or genitals, this could provide relief! Good luck.

So I will say they do help with candida (combined with other candida products) but the heartburn that accompanies this product is unbearable. It is also hard to swallow as the capsules get stuck mid way through my esophagus and just stay there. I have to take with applesauce or yogurt just to carry it down my throat.
