Top 10 Supplements for Candida Overgrowth
Cleansing candida is no walk in the park. Over my 16 year battle with chronic illness, Candida Albicans was quite the thorn in my side. 😩I had systemic candida, rashes all over me, brain fog, food sensitivities, mood swings, etc. I felt cornered, but thankfully I had the drive to keep researching. One day, by a stroke of luck, I found colostrum. This was the game changer. Within 30 days, my candida was finally under control! Though this was clearly the antidote, I’ve listed the top 10 supplements for candida cleansing. .
Top 10 Supplements for Candida Cleanse
Raw Bovine Colostrum
Colostrum contains lactoferrin (1) and the anti-body to candida albicans, so it’s OBVIOUSLY the best choice! It outperforms any anti-fungal supplement that exists. In short, colostrum is the “ultimate candida cleanse”. It cured me within 30 days after YEARS of suffering with systemic candida. If you can find it from a local farmer, I would get as much as possible and freeze it!
High Potency Garlic/Allicin
This could definitely help cleanse systemic candida (2,3), BUT make sure to get garlic pills WITH ALLICIN and the odor still present. If you have a serious candida yeast overgrowth, this could help systemically, but more than likely, it will not remove the intestinal symptoms.
Wild Oregano Oil
Oregano oil has antifungal properties (4) at the correct dosage, and is known to many as “nature’s antibiotic”. This is VERY effective for candida but also tough on the stomach lining. Though I’ve noticed good effects, I also noticed more die-off since it may have irritated the intestinal barrier.
Bifidobacterium Species
These probiotics are known to kill candida (5*), compete for space in the gut lining, AND increase antibody production to c. albicans (6*). Try to find a Bifidobacterium ONLY product and dose heavy! This is the best long term solution if you can’t find colostrum. Remember though, for an effective candida cleanse you must either take larger doses, or culture your own probiotics to increase exposure.
Undeclynic Acid
Some say this is actually the strongest candida killer, yeast are less likely to build a resistance to it. It is somewhat rough on the intestinal barrier, like an acidic supplements.None the less, it has proven to kill c. albicans in studies (7*), making it an effective candida cleanser.
Caprylic Acid
Derived from coconut oil, it has been shown to be effective for mild/moderate yeast overgrowth (8*). This can prevent a yeast overgrowth from not getting worse, but it’s not the top choice for cleaning of candida.
Berberine
Has been shown to be effective in candida resistant to traditional anti-fungals like Fluconazole (9*). Berberine, promotes alterations to the integrity of the plasma and mitochondrial membranes of candida, possibly acting at specific sites near cell DNA, leading to death by apoptosis.
Grape Seed Extract
GSE has been shown in multiple studies to inhibit the growth of candida albicans (10), and other infections. I tried this when Candida was very bad, and realized, it is NOT for severe cases.
Saccharomyces Boulardi
Beneficial yeast that actually affects candida albicans ahesion to the intestinal barrier (11). To be successful with your candida cleanse, you must take a lot! Any beneficial bacteria must be consumed in LARGE amounts if being used to cleanse from candida.
Broken Cell Wall Chlorella
Does not kill candida albicans, but changes the PH level of the gut, discouraging candida growth. Also feeds beneficial bacteria(12*) which is critical to cleansing from candida.
⠀
I tried all 10 supplements listed, but raw bovine colostrum was the winner HANDS DOWN! 🏆🥇I will say though, I was EXTREMELY SICK so it called for EXTREME measures. If there was a second place, it would go to Chlorella! It has extreme effects on PH, Bifidobacterium, digestion, detox and more.
Important Note About Candida Cleansing
Doing a candida cleanse with the supplements listed above will only get you so far! You MUST change the environment of your intestinal system to really kill candida. This is done primarily through removing food sensitivities, controlling histamine, and restoring alkalinity via a healthy diet. Keep in mind, you are NOT sick because you have candida. Candida is a secondary infection, not the root cause. You must start the process of raising PH, restoring bacterial balance, supporting detoxification and restructuring your diet to ensure it finally goes away for good.
I hope you enjoyed this post about Candida cleansing. Please share this with anyone who’s fighting with chronic illness. 🙏Thanks for reading!⠀
