How Long Should I Use Candex™? Many people report improvement within 10 days to four weeks. However, reducing Candida to manageable levels depends on individual immune status, probiotic levels, and dietary habits. When you think you’re feeling your best again:

1. Reduce usage from 4 capsules per day to 3 capsules per day for a week.

2. The next week, cut back to two capsules. 3. The week after that, cut back to one capsule in

the morning. If you feel any sign of regression as you cut back or after you quit, resume four a day for another month, and then try cutting back again.

While many people need Candex™ only temporarily, others may need a capsule or two per day for maintenance.*

Can Children Use Candex™? While no studies have been done with children, individuals have reported giving it to their children without incident. If you choose to use it for children, we suggest one capsule daily for each 40 to 60 pounds of body weight.*

Should I Use Probiotics With Candex™? Although probiotics cannot overcome Candida, they can help prevent it. Because they also do many other good things (digestion, immunity, etc.) it’s wise to use a probiotic supplement made from strains that most successfully colonize the gut. If Candida is an issue, you’ll need a very high potency product. That means 50 to 100 billion CFU’s guaranteed at time of expiration, delivered in at least 12 different strains. Perhaps the best probiotic for this purpose is our own, PureBiotics™ Maxima.*

Must I Follow the “Candida Diet?” The Candida Diet sounds good in theory. After all, Candida thrives on sugar, so if you don’t give it any, it will starve, right? Well, not really. First, it’s extremely difficult and terribly unhealthy to eat nearly no carbohydrates. Second, if Candida finds no glucose in the gut, it morphs into a hyphal state and punches through the gut lining into the bloodstream. From there, it colonizes tissues where the body is producing glucose as part of the energy production process.Countless people have told us that Candex™ has helped them achieve their goals without major dietary adjustments. Still, the following foods are not good for you in any situation, so it’s best to avoid or minimize their use.*

Processed Meats: Hot dogs, sausage, bacon, bologna, spam, etc.All Processed Sugars: Sucrose, dextrose, fructose, corn syrup, rice syrup, honey, maple syrup, molasses, barley malt, etc. (Avoid these sugars as much as is humanly possible.) To sweeten foods, Stevia or Lo Han are excellent, healthy choices.

All Flour Products: Bread, bagels, tortillas, pasta, cookies, cakes, pies, etc. are best avoided, but can be used in moderation if they don’t contain the sugars listed above.Vinegar-Containing Foods: Mustard, mayonnaise, etc.Beverages: Sodas (even diet varieties), caffeine (avoid altogether if possible, otherwise cut back as much as you can), alcohol.

The best foods to eat are chicken, fish, and all vegetables. Beef is acceptable, but as an occasional rather than staple food. Chicken and beef are always best if they are free range, hormone free, and, in the case of beef, 100% grass fed.

The Pure Essence GuaranteeIf you suffer from Candida, Candex™ is the best product you can take. You’ll begin feeling better in 10 days or less and you’ll have none of the Candida die-off caused by other products. If you are anything less than delighted with your personal results, please return your unused portion (or empty container) along with your sales receipt to your authorized reseller for a complete refund.*

Feel Better Without First Feeling Worse

A Note About Synergy: Candex™ outperforms other Candida products because of the synergy by which its enzymes break down the cell wall. The label lists only the major enzyme activities in the product. These major enzymes contain side activities that break down specific fractions of cell walls to make it doubly effective. This synergy is unique to Candex™.*

Enzymes: Intelligent Yeast Management*

What is Candida? Candida albicans is a fungal yeast that is literally everywhere, which means you can’t keep it out of your body. When it grows out of control, it causes a host of problems, like localized (primarily vaginal or rectal) itching, depression, irritability, dizziness, unclear thinking, difficulty focusing, brain fog, fatigue, gas, bloating, diarrhea or constipation, rapid weight loss or gain, flatulence, and cravings for sweets or alcohol. The severity of these issues ranges from mildly annoying to nearly debilitating. Research from Rice University concludes that up to 70% of Americans are impacted by Candida.

How Does Candida Get Out of Control? Under normal circumstances, your gut is populated by a wide variety of beneficial bacteria called probiotics. If you have enough of these bacteria, Candida can’t cause a problem. Candida, however, is highly opportunistic, meaning that if space is made available by a decline in your probiotic populations, it takes over in a hurry. In fact, Candida doubles its population every two hours.

In the modern world, probiotics are under constant attack. Antibiotics, oral contraceptives, chlorinated water (even in the shower or bath), poor diet, extreme stress, and countless pharmaceutical drugs can kill them. It is this constant assault on probiotics that makes Candida a problem.

Can It Be Managed? For many years, Candida protocols were limited to anti-fungal drugs and herbs. These agents have three major problems. First, they can damage the liver. Second, Candida develops resistance to them. Third, they cause massive “die off” reactions that can be worse than Candida itself.

Enzymes: A Better WayCandida’s metabolic machinery exists within a cell surrounded by a cell wall. This cell wall is an organ in its own right, but also protects everything that goes on within the cell. If the cell wall is destroyed, the cell cannot function, and thereby dies.

Our founder, Jery Cochern, has studied Candida for over 30 years. Seeing that the cell wall is Candida’s weakest point, he looked for a way to degrade it without the problems presented by antifungals. He found a way by using a specific group of enzymes. Candida cannot become immune to these enzymes. They are completely safe, do not trigger severe die-off reactions, do not contain antifungals, and do not cause any damage to the liver.*

Which Enzymes Do I Need? To degrade the cell wall of Candida, we must break down the mannoproteins, glycoproteins, chitins, and beta glucans from which it’s made. While, from these names, it would seem that we need to digest a lot of protein, mannoproteins are actually up to 95% carbohydrate with bits of proteins woven in. By digesting the carbohydrate fractions, the cell wall collapses. The enzymes in Candex™ break down these carbohydrates, and also act on the chitins and beta glucans that lie deeper within the cell wall.*Candex™ has been tested in clinical and laboratory studies. In the clinical study, subjects were selected after multiple tests confirmed Candida as an issue. Researchers

concluded that all 52 subjects improved. Candex™ has been the number one choice of health retailers, practitioners, and consumers for nearly 20 years.*Naturally, the success of Candex™ has spurred imitations. Most of these contain large levels of protease, but again, protease is not needed to degrade Candida’s cell wall. Those formulas should be taken between meals, but large levels of protease at these times can aggravate ulcers and other gut issues that may accompany yeast overgrowth.*

How Much Enzyme Activity Do I Need? Over 20 years of experience have shown us that the most productive levels of enzymes are about 128,000 CU (cellulase units) and 80,000 HCU (hemicellulase units) of activity per day with supporting levels of xylanase, amylase, glucoamylase, chitinase, and beta glucanase. Candex™ provides these levels in the full, four capsule daily dose (two capsules twice daily), either as direct additions or side activities. †*Enzymes should always be expressed in actual activities rather than as weight. You’ll often see labels that read: Cellulase (120,000 CU/gr) 50 mg While many will believe this label says the product contains 120,000 CUs of cellulase, it actually says there are 6000 CUs (120,000 per gram divided by 1000 [# of mg per gram] times 50 [number of mg in dose]). Any company that knows enzymes will label them in simple units of activity: Cellulase 120,000 CU† It is impossible to completely segregate one enzyme from others when enzymes are harvested from natural organisms rather than manufactured in laboratories. The enzymes in Candex™ contain side activities of the enzymes not listed on the label.

How Do I Use Candex™? Using Candex™ is easy, but it’s best to build up to full strength gradually. For best results:

Days 1: One full capsule in the morning. Days 2: One full capsule in the morning and

another at night. Day 3 & thereafter: Two capsules in the

morning and two more at night. Maintenance: One full capsule at bedtime.

Always use Candex™ on an empty stomach or with foods that do not contain fiber and with at least eight ounces of water. NOTE: Certain thyroid medications (and other drugs) are delivered in a cellulose base. Because Candex™ digests cellulose, such drugs may be more quickly absorbed if used with Candex™. If you use such medications, it is best to use Candex™ at least four hours before or after taking them. If you have any questions or concerns, be sure to consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking Candex™.*

CORTISONE

Specific enzymes can digest the cell wall of Candida. Without a functional cell wall, Candida’s

metabolic processes grind to a halt and the yeast dies.

When probiotics are destroyed, Candida can grow out of control. This triggers an array of discomforts that

range from mildly annoying to wholly debilitating.

Poor diet, extreme stress, chlorinated water, birth control pills and many other drugs can destroy

probiotics.

When Candida is balanced by healthful probiotics, its presence goes unnoticed.
