Candida Supplements Chart

© Copyright Bee Wilder March 23, 2015

For the correct kinds of supplements see iHerb – Products Bee Recommends. For more details see Candida Supplements – Description & Doses.

Important Notes:

  1. You are advised NOT to take supplement Nos. 1-6 below one day each month to allow time for your body to adjust or re-balance nutrient levels.
  2. Take all supplements with meals that contain protein from meats and eggs and natural fats recommended by Bee, since all nutrients work together. 
  3. Do not take more than 500 mg of calcium at any one time, since the body cannot process more than that amount.
  4. Be sure to split up vitamin C doses between 3 meals per day. It is easier to take Vitamin C tablets or capsules instead of ascorbic acid crystals or powder mixed into water since it tends to be hard on the stomach; also rinse your mouth afterward because it can be hard on the teeth.

Digestive Supplement, if needed.

See How to Take Hydrochloric Acid Supplements; it may not be needed after digestion is healed, except when stressed. Also see Stomach Acid Problems

Niacin (B3) – If the Vitamin B Complex contains niacinamide or a non-flushing kind, you need to buy a separate Niacin (B3) supplement. "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 on what to expect.
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.
