I have a tendency toward Candida and yeast infections; can I still take Probiotic Nutrients™ or fermented foods?
There is a misunderstanding about bacteria and Saccharomyces. The truth is that positive bacteria and Saccharomyces compete against pathogenic microbial overgrowth. Saccharomyces and Lactobacillus have evolved to produce natural anti-fungal and antibiotic bacteriocins, which they secrete into their environment. Bacteriocins and other anti-fungal ferment metabolites suppress pathogenic micro-organisms, like Candida albicans and E.coli. It would be highly beneficial for anyone concerned about fungal overgrowth to include New Chapter's Organic Probiotic Nutrients™ in their daily regimen to optimize their defenses against these conditions.
