Candida Supplements Chart
© Copyright Bee Wilder
Revised December 15, 2009 to remove probiotics, and antifungals other than unrefined coconut oil.
To get the correct supplements, see iHerb Supplements Recommended by Bee.
You are advised to stop taking all supplements one day each month to allow time for your body to adjust itself as it sees fit.
Please see Supplements - Description & Doses for more details about what kinds of supplements to buy.
Most supplements must indicate on the label that they are "free-of" yeast, soy, wheat, gluten, dairy, sugar, preservatives and additives, such as Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin B Complex, Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E
and Probiotics (lactobacillus).
Important Notes:
-
Take all supplements with meals that contain protein and "good" fats, since all nutrients work together.
-
Do not take more than 500 mg of calcium at any one time, since the body cannot process more than that amount.

Digestive Aids |
Betaine hydrochloric acid and/or unpasteurized sauerkraut
|
See How to Take Hydrochloric Acid Supplements and/or eat 1/4 to 1/2 cup of unpasteurized sauerkraut with every meal; none may be needed after the person is healed, except when stressed. Also see Stomach Acid Problems
|
Niacin (B3) – Buy a separate tablet of niacin (B3) if the Vitamin B Complex brand/product contains niacinamide, which is a synthetic non-flushing form. "True" Niacin (B3) causes a flush, including itching and redness, which lasts up to an hour, but it is nothing to be concerned about - see Niacin for more information.
Do not buy non-flushing niacin. Niacin is available in 50 mg, 100 mg and 500 mg tablets, so be careful which one you buy — it should be 50 mg, or cut 100 mg in half. Some people need to start with 25 mg or less and slowly increase it so their flush isn't too severe.
