CandidAss't

Although it's ok at room temperature, Candid Ass't will be more effective longer if refrigerated.

If taking antibiotics, take 1-2 hours before or after taking the antibiotic, and continue for two weeks after your antibiotic is done. You can take Candid Ass't with or without food. Many foods contain prebiotics (bananas, garlic, onions, honey) which may benefit and stimulate probiotics. Taking Candid Ass't without food is a better way to allow the probiotics into other parts of the body where they are needed.

Regulating Dosage:

People taking extremely high doses of probiotics may experience diarrhea. If this occures,simply reduce the dosage. When a pathogen dies, it may release toxins. This can temporally make symptoms worse. Fungi like Candida may release mycotoxin, initially aggravating symptoms.

Lactobacillus acidophilus The probiotic “Lactobacillus” genus of Gram-positive facultative anaerobic, manganese-dependent, resident organisms that are generally catalase-negative, nonmotile, utilize glucose fermentation found present in the vagina and the gastrointestinal tract in the body. Lactobacillus acidophilus in the genus Lactobacillus is a resident probiotic that produces enzymes to digest protein, fat and lactase (ferments lactose into lactic acid). Acidophilus assists in the production of niacin, folic acid, and pyridoxine during digestion and assist in bile deconjugation (separating amino acids from bile acids).

Lactobacillus brevis The “Bifidobacteria breve” decreases intestinal permeability while improving the intestinal microflora. The probiotic “Lactobacillus” genus of Gram-positive facultative anaerobic, manganese-dependent, resident organisms that are generally catalase-negative, nonmotile, utilize glucose fermentation found present in the vagina and the gastrointestinal tract in the body.

Lactobacillus bulgaricus The transient strain “Lactobacillus bulgaricus” produces the protein interferon that inhibits the replication of invading viruses. The probiotic “Lactobacillus” genus of Gram-positive facultative anaerobic, manganese-dependent, resident organisms that are generally catalase-negative, nonmotile, utilize glucose fermentation found present in the vagina and the gastrointestinal tract in the body.

Lactobacillus casei The “Lactobacillus casei” is naturally occurring in the mouth and digestive tract breaks down carbohydrates and inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria in the small intestine. The probiotic “Lactobacillus” genus of Gram-positive facultative anaerobic, manganese-dependent, resident organisms that are generally catalase-negative, nonmotile, utilize glucose fermentation found present in the vagina and the gastrointestinal tract in the body.

Lactobacillus helveticus The probiotic “Lactobacillus” genus of Gram-positive facultative anaerobic, manganese-dependent, resident organisms that are generally catalase-negative, nonmotile, utilize glucose fermentation found present in the vagina and the gastrointestinal tract in the body.

Lactococcus lactis The probiotic “Lactobacillus” genus of Gram-positive facultative anaerobic, manganese-dependent, resident organisms that are generally catalase-negative, nonmotile, utilize glucose fermentation found present in the vagina and the gastrointestinal tract in the body. The transient strain “Lactococcus lactis” produces the immuno-supportive lactic acid. Lc. lactis produces the peptide “nisin”, which has activity against “bad” bacteria Clostridium difficile.

Lactobacillus plantarum Lactobacillus plantarum is a member of the genus Lactobacillus produces both the D and L isomers of lactic acid and can liquefy gelatin. Lactobacillus plantarum respire oxygen secretes hydrogen peroxide and accumulates manganese. The transient strain “Lactobacillus plantarum” has antimicrobial activities because it secretes the antibiotic called lactolin. The probiotic “Lactobacillus” genus of Gram-positive facultative anaerobic, manganese-dependent organisms that are generally catalase-negative, nonmotile, utilize glucose fermentation found present in the vagina and the gastrointestinal tract in the body.

Lactobacillus rhamnosus The probiotic “Lactobacillus” genus of Gram-positive facultative anaerobic, manganese-dependent, resident organisms that are generally catalase-negative, nonmotile, utilize glucose fermentation found present in the vagina and the gastrointestinal tract in the body. “Lactobacillus rhamnosus” is a transient aerobic probiotic that appears in the body from the mouth through the small intestine and produces “mucin” (a mucus coating).

Lactobacillus salivarius The transient strain “Lactobacillus salivarius” found in the mouth and small intestine has antimicrobial activities and breaks down proteins and produces B vitamins, enzymes and lactic acid. The probiotic “Lactobacillus” genus of Gram-positive facultative anaerobic, manganese-dependent organisms that are generally catalase-negative, nonmotile, utilize glucose fermentation found present in the vagina and the gastrointestinal tract in the body.

Bifidobacterium bifidum The “Bifidobacterium bifidum” is a specific inhabitant of an adults large intestine (colon) and composes a large presence of the beneficial microflora which produce acids to retard colonization of putrefactive bacteria. The probiotic “Bifidobacteria” species are the resident organisms that produce acids that retard the colonization of certain foreign or harmful bacteria in the colon. The “Bifidobacterium bifidum” assists normal digestion by helping the absorption of calcium, iron, magnesium and other vitamins and minerals. “Bifidobacterium bifidum” can also manufacture B vitamins and produce lactic and acetic acids.

Bifidobacterium breve The probiotic “Bifidobacteria” species are the resident organisms that produce acids that retard the colonization of certain foreign or harmful bacteria in the colon. The “Bifidobacterium breve” assists normal digestion by producing lactic and acetic acids, repressing ulcer-inducing bacteria growth. The “Bifidobacterium breve” is an intestinal probiotic that can produce trans-9, trans-11 conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) from free linoleic acid. The “Bifidobacterium breve” has shown beneficial effects on both allergic and autoimmune responses and had a positive effect on the immune system.

Bifidobacterium infantis The probiotic “Bifidobacteria” species are the resident organisms that produce acids that retard the colonization of certain foreign or harmful bacteria in the colon. The “Bifidobacterium infantis” is present in the intestines of healthy infants and adults and in a womans vaginal tract. This strain of probiotic bacterium is a specific inhabitant of the large intestine where it can be found in high concentration among infants.

Bifidobacterium longum The probiotic “Bifidobacteria” species are the resident organisms that produce acids that retard the colonization of certain foreign or harmful bacteria in the colon. The “Bifidobacterium longum” breaks down bile salts, helps synthesize B vitamins, and stimulates the immune system through its effects on immunoglobulin A (IgA), produces lactic and acetic acids, and a major role in preventing the invasion of pathogenic and putrefactive bacteria in the body. The “Bifidobacterium longum” is among the first to colonize the sterile digestive tract of newborns and predominates in breast-fed infants.

Enterococcus faecium There are probiotics that belong to the genus Streptococcus (a gram-positive bacteria) in the lactic acid bacteria group. The “Streptococcus faecium” is a resident anarobic probiotic drawn to fiber and plant lignins that inhabitant the mucosa lining in large intestine (colon) where it prevents the wall attachment of harmful micro bacteria.

Streptococcus thermophilus There are probiotics that belong to the genus Streptococcus (a gram-positive bacteria) in the lactic acid bacteria group. The “Streptococcus thermophilus” appear to stimulate disease-fighting cells and reduce nitrites in the body. The transient antioxidant strain “Streptococcus thermophilus” produces large quantities of the immuno-supportive lactic acid and produces the enzyme lactase.
