Probiotic ReviewSuper Probiotics for Candida YeastI thought a probiotic review for probiotics for candida would be helpful since most probiotics won't establish new colonies and only work while you take them. I and others have had good success with these probiotics below. There are others out there but I have not had any positive reports on their effectiveness for treating candida yeast. The doses you need to take for any probiotic to be effective have to be very large, in the 50 to 500 billion range. Very few probiotics have this large of a dose. Most are in the 1 billion to 10 billion per capsule range. As a probiotic for candida, these low dose products are absolutely worthless and its like going to a forest fire with a squirt gun. The candida kills these low dose products really quickly so they are not able to do much good. There may be some improvement, but it doesn't last very long. So all of these probiotics below are high dose. Our first probiotic review for candida yeast is on Total Immune Booster. A probiotic that I have taken now for 5 years. Total Immune Booster or TIB contains L. acidophilus, B. lactis, L. salivarious, L. plantarum, B. breve, B. lactis (infantis), and L. lactis at a dose of 15 billion bacteria. That is a little weak but the added co-factors added to TIB make it worth it. These bacteria in the body:
Total Immune Booster also contains Allimax, which is the trade name for the active chemical in garlic that is known for fighting disease. Allicin is the active chemical that is formed by the enzyme allinase and allian to produce allicin when garlic clove is crushed. 200mg of pure allicin (the amount contained in one, 2-capsule serving of Total Immune Booster) contains the equivalent benefits of 30-50 fresh garlic bulbs without the smell. Years of research conducted at The Garlic Centre of Battle, East Sussex, United Kingdom, the world's leading garlic research center, have proven the pharmacological activities of allicin in many areas, including:
Allicin has been found to kill e-coli, staphylococcus which causes staph infections, Helicobacter pylori bacteria, which is now known to cause ulcers. John Hopkins Medical School reports the most common cause of sinusitis is a fungal infection. Allicin is very effective with many fungi, including Aspergillus, Candida, Coccidioides, Cryptotoccocci, Histoplasma and Trichophyton. It has been found to reduce cholesterol levels by 12 to 40% when consumed in larger amounts for 6 weeks. Blood pressure was also significantly reduced in the test subjects. Tumors have been found to be reduced by half when allicin is injected into the cell. It also stops cancer-causing agents from binding to human breasts when Sallylcysteine is added. Longevity studies conducted by Dr. Narain at the Public Health Department in Dehli, India, revealed that 98% of all "centurions" studied consumed at least one clove of garlic every day. Total Immune Booster also contains Swedish Flower Pollen, which is truly one of natures super foods. Flower Pollen is a single source of vitamins, minerals, proteins, amino acids, hormones, enzymes and fats. The extract is known to hold a wide variety of nutrients, including RNA- and DNA-building factors, plant hormones, antioxidant factors, unsaturated fatty acids, prostaglandin precursors, phytosterols and more. In addition to supplying vital nutrients, flower pollen extract can improve nutrient assimilation from normal dietary intake. Beneficial support for the prostate, immune system, lipid metabolism, and lean muscle development can result from regular use of the extract. Flower Pollen has been scientifically documented by many long-term clinical studies to:
Total Immune Booster also contains the Chinese Wolfberry commonly known as the Goji berry in the USA. It is a vitamin and mineral filled antioxidant super food that contains over 15% protein by weight. It contains more protein than bee pollen, more vitamin c than oranges, and almost as much beta-carotene as carrots. The wolfberry contains 21 essential amino acids and minerals, including calcium, chromium, copper, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. The wolfberry is also rich in vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, vitamin B5 and biotin. Biotin is commonly low in people with candida or chronic yeast infections. It has been the object of numerous clinical studies since the 1980's by the State Scientific Technological Commission in China. These studies have documented the antioxidant an immune stimulating abilities of this wholesome super food. Additional studies by Dr. Earl Mindell in the 1990's have confirmed these findings. Total Immune Booster also contains Beta Glucan, which is relatively unknown by the general public, and was found in testing by the US Army to be the best immune system stimulator known to man. Many other health researchers consider it to be the most effective immune enhancing product ever discovered. Independent testing has verified it to be completely safe for human consumption. "As it is a natural substance, there are no
negative side effects and there is no danger of overdose.
Clearly Beta Glucan is a natural, safe, specific and highly
effective way to keep our immune system healthy." The retail price for one bottle is $79 plus $8 shipping. However, if you join as a free member or preffered customer which entitles you to be able to purchase individual bottles for $69 on stand-alone orders. However, if you buy 2 bottles you get the 3rd bottle free so it works out to $46 a bottle. You are going to need the 3 bottles any way to treat your infection, so you may as well take advantage of the savings. If you decide you want to take this as a preventative health measure, you can sign up for the monthly auto-ship for 1 bottle a month and only pay $40 a month plus $8 shipping. When you take Total Immune Booster you may experience a cleansing reaction for a few days to a week. You may get diarrhea or have loose stools. You might also have a war in your intestines. If it does cause a war then only take 1 tab a day for 5 days, then 2 tabs a day for 5 days and so on. Work into the higher doses slowly and you will be fine. Lactobasillis GG Probiotics ReviewOne of the strongest lactobasillis probiotics for candida that I have ever seen is Lactobasillis GG. LGG contains 30 Billion bacteria per capsule and I recommend a minimum 3 capsules a day, 1 in the morning, 1 in the afternoon, and 1 at night. You might want to double the dose after one week as well. This can also be used a vaginal suppository for vaginal yeast infections or bacterial vaginosis. LGG has been scientifically proven to survive antibiotic attack. This is a godsend for every human on the planet that will ever have to take an antibiotic again for any reason, especially women. It is much easier to prevent candida than it is to get rid of it. LGG does not have to be refrigerated so it won't grow molds in the body. Just the idea that you would have to refrigerate a probiotic suggests it will spoil, and when things spoil, they get moldy. Molds kill bacteria and antibiotics are made from molds. There are many studies that have been done on LGG and the yeastinfectionadvisor.com website has a very good write up with these studies on LGG if you care to read it. Ultimate Flora Critical Care Probiotic ReviewUltimate Flora Critical Care contains 50 billion live culture, consisting of 30 billion Bifidobacteria, 19 billion Lactobacillus and 1 billion Lactococcus consisting of 10 differnet species. This profile of bacteria follows whats found in the intestine closer than any other. Contrary to popular belief, acidophilus is not the most dominate species in the body, bifidobacteriums are. Candida yeast has also been found to be able to grow right along side the acidophilus bacterias, where as bifidobacteriums actually kill it. We have had very good luck with this probiotic, especially with children and older adults. Species include 25 billion Bifidobacterium bifidum. 10 billion Lactobacillus acidophilus 4.5 billion Lactobacillus rhamnosus 2.5 billion Bifidobacterium breve 2.5 billion Bifidobacterium longum 2.5 billion Lactobacillus casei 1.5 billion Lactobacillus plantarum 1 billion Lactobacillus lactis 250 million Lactobacillus bulgaricus 250 million Lactobacillus salivarus As you can see this is a very well rounded probiotic and we have had good success with it. Custom Probiotic ReviewCP-1 is one of my favorites and we have had very good success with it. I set up an extra page to review it more completely. Yes it looks funny cause I sell it, but I do this because I was asked to by my clients. It saves them a little money on shipping and I am able to pass along a discount on 2 bottle or more orders. There are other large dose probiotics out there like Natren, very expensive. Udos Choice, etc. But I have not had much success or very good feedback from them so I have not included a probiotic review. You are of course welcome to try them, your the doctor. I do suggest with all probiotics that you take colostrum with it. Colostrum lines the stomach and allows the bacteria to attach when you are a baby. For this reason you should try to reproduce that environment so hopefully some of this bacteria lives longer than 2 weeks. I prefer Symbiotics Colostrum Plus Pineapple or Cherry . Its very high dose and this also kills candida yeast. I hope you found this probiotic review helpful. Any questions please feel free to contact me.
