Nice to have antifungals and digestive enzymes combined
No garlic smell or taste
Easy to swallow
Effective
For the second time in my life, I'm treating yeast overgrowth--Candidiasis or something akin to it. The first time I treated this condition, I used antifungal supplements, such as garlic, a separate digestive enzyme supplement, and probiotics. I'm pleased to say this product works well as an antifungal and digestive enzymes, combined. I appreciate having fewer pills to take.
I started taking probiotics the same day I started taking the Kyolic pills, but I know from past experience what to expect from each supplement. This is why I can say I truly believe Kyolic Candida Cleanse is doing its job properly. There is no doubt the pills are affecting my digestion. Because of die-off symptoms, my condition seemed to worsen at first. My current experience is similar to--but more tolerable than--my last experience treating this affliction. At any rate, the fact that my symptoms worsened for a while proves the efficacy of the pills, regardless of whether it's good or bad.
I take these pills before or midway through my lunch meal and my dinner meal. Otherwise, they cause a burning sensation in my esophagus. Acid indigestion is typical for me when I have yeast overgrowth, and consuming unusually large amounts of garlic in any form will exacerbate the acid reflux. The burning is not from the garlic itself. There is absolutely no garlic taste, ever. Overall, these pills have been effective and are gentler than my previous regimen of yeast-fighting supplements.
After two weeks of taking Kyolic, probiotics, and oralbiotics, my energy level has increased. My chronic sinus infection is gone. (The main reason I wanted garlic as an antifungal was to fight the sinus infection.) My facial skin looks great. I no longer have skin rash or painful, itching dry patches of skin on other parts of my body. My vision has improved. Mind you, I haven't altered my diet, yet, and it's laden with sugar and yeast at present.
FYI to anyone battling Candidiasis or other fungal infection: There IS light at the end of the tunnel. The only reason I'm going through this again is because after months of treating the yeast overgrowth the first time, I had to abandon the Candida diet too soon. I experienced rapid weight loss (up to 15 lbs/month) while treating the condition, and I was finally too thin to continue. However, I had a great new figure and beautiful hair and skin. I looked and felt 20 years younger. My brain fog cleared, and my life is still better than ever.
The die-off symptoms were downright horrifying (my condition was severe), but I was so sick, I didn't have anything precious to lose. Please do not force your body through extreme die-off. Start with one thing, such as probiotics. After a couple of weeks, start antifungals. Gradually work into a diet without sugar and yeast.
Silymarin (Milk Thistle) is a wonderful antioxidant that helps tremendously with die-off and helps boost/restore liver function. Vitamin C was my best friend in the world. I took 1,000 mg every half-hour that I was awake. I just wish I had known to take a lot of Vitamin C sooner. I wish you ALL the best!
** UPDATE: After three weeks, the acid reflux ceased. These pills should be taken before a meal since they contain digestive enzymes. If I forget to take Kyolic before a meal, I can now take them after the meal without experiencing burning in my esophagus. I don't have any acid reflux at all, so these supplements helped with my existing acid indigestion problems.
