Do you suffer from any of the following symptoms: abdominal pain, Constipation, diarrhoea, gas, bloating, inDigestion, heartburn, recurrent vaginal yeast infections, bad breath, skin rashes, allergies, chemical sensitivities, muscle aches, cold hands and feet, fatigue, depression, irritability, difficulty concentrating or immune system malfunction?

Any one of these symptoms can be caused by the overgrowth of candida albicans – a single-celled yeast-like organism that resides in your intestinal tract and is perhaps most commonly associated with the condition termed ‘thrush’. It is estimated that nearly 16 million people in the UK suffer with an overgrowth of Candida.

Normally it does no harm and its growth is kept in check by the ‘friendly’ intestinal bacteria that are essential to your body’s proper functioning. However, if this fine balance is disturbed, an overgrowth of candida can result, and the toxins produced by the yeast can cause the unpleasant symptoms outlined above.

Fortunately there is a natural tool to fight candida overgrowth – candigest.
