Lawriejayasked
Is Inner Health Candex SB - recommended for daily use on a permanent basis ?
1 answer
Ethical N.Ethical Nutrients
Candex can certainly be used as a preventative measure on a long term basis. However if thrush is persistent there may be disruptions to the immune system or dietary factors that are sustaining it’s presence. I would recommend speaking with a health professional to address these underlying issues.

today I bought a bottle of Candex sb but didnt manage to get it into the fridge until About 2.5 hours later. It was a hot day 29 celcius. Kept it in the car under the seat in its silver foil package, any thoughts please
1 answer
Open a capsule & stir it into a cup of milk or coconut water & place a cloth over in a dark cupboard overnight, if it is still good it will ferment, turn like kefir or yoghurt in 24hrs if not the milk will go off
Joyasked
Hello, I have had vaginal thrush now for five months and I can’t get rid of it. I’ve been to my doctor several times and she just keeps referring me to over the counter medications (the six day creme, the pessary, the tablet, external creme)....but nothing seems to be helping at all. I’m sick of being constantly itchy and it’s beginning to affect me now and is upsetting me quite a lot. I feel like I’ll never be normal again! Not to mention the cost to keep buying the treatments each week is really adding up. I’ve been taking candex now for five weeks. I haven’t noticed a huge change, although mentally I’m feeling more hopeful/positive I might be able to get rid of my thrush. The bottle says to take one a day. Is there any harm in taking 2 a day until I can get on top of the symptoms? I feel like my body might need a stronger amount of bacteria to help fight the yeast given how persistent and high growth mine is. I think I’ll go off the pill as well.

Hi I understand your pain,frustration. It takes over your life in so many ways to say the least. Candex is my first line but it's not going to work for all.so please try this and don't be afraid .I have tried and it works when candex hasn't. Blackmore woman's flora it has 2 strains of probiotics l.ruetri. and l.rhamminous (sorry about spelling )open a pill and put into 5ml of pre boiled water that is now room temp (to hot and it will kill them) squirt as high as possible into your u know what.do this again on the second day .and cut out sugar and starchy carbs(potatoes ect) from your diet.also between days put apple cider vinegar half teaspoon in 5ml water(same as above pre boiled water) u should get instant relief.do the flora for 3 alternative days and apple cider vinegar (has to have the mother on label or its useless) for 1 week.i would also invest in korlex gel tabs to have everyday .till all is clear which might be months .you will know if something is working itching and pain will go .don't skip doses of any kind or yeast will grow resistant quickly.if you would like further advise email me (not sure if this is allowed admin?)but she needs help!

Hi. How awful for you!
The most important thing to do ASAP is to ask for an immed referral to a GYNAECOLOGIST from your GP and don't take no for an answer. Your Dr is being pathetic and dismissive at the moment. Because unless you've had swabs done you do not know what you actually have nor are trying to treat. It may only look like thrush but could be anything or even multiple things.
As for taking more than 1 capsule of Candex. No problem at all. I take it for my IBS-D and when it's bad I take 1 capsule morning and 1 capsule at night.
CANDEX will help your internal GOOD flora increase and be more resistant to be able to fight for balance within.
HOWEVER no probiotic regardless of who says what to you will EVER get rid of vaginal or any type of thrush or any other condition. It is NOT A CURE and it has never been marketed as such.
Please see a specialist asap and best of wishes.

Hello Joy, thank you for your message and we are sorry to hear your symptoms have persisted for so long. In regards to your query around the Inner Health Candex dosage, yes, it will be safe to take 2 capsules per day – we would recommend 1 in the morning and 1 at night (with or without food). As the overgrowth of Candida is occurring specifically within the genitals, you can also consider opening a capsule, mixing the contents with some coconut oil (which is also antifungal), and apply it internally 1 to 2 times per day. This will allow the Candex to work directly on the affected tissue, which may result in increased efficacy of the product and faster recovery. However, several elements can be at play that can cause chronic thrush to establish (with the Pill being one, which you mentioned). We would therefore also recommend that you consider seeking the advice of a Naturopath, as they will be able to uncover any underlying causes that have triggered and sustained your thrush, and create a treatment plan to address them. You can find a list of Practitioners available in your area by using our Find a Practitioner tool, which is housed on the website for our Practitioner Only supplement range here: https://www.metagenics.com.au/FindAPractitioner
Our best wishes with your symptoms, we hope they resolve soon. Inner Health Technical Support

No.
These are not and were never made to cure thrush of any kind (or any other condition).
You need to see your GP and get proper treatment.
Probiotics like this are made to minimise you getting thrush again once you are cured. They help your body build up the good bacteria required internally to fight off and minimise all these various conditions. They have NEVER been marketed as a CURE for anything. If you have been told that they are you, have been blatently lied to.
Start taking them with the meds the GP prescribes to actually cure your condition and then continue on aterwards.

Candex has been formulated to suppress Candida (AKA thrush) and restore healthy flora balance. We would recommend to add this into your health routine and if the thrush persists to see a health practitioner. Team @ Inner Health

Thats right the old bottle lable is just candex .the new pable is candex sb .they both are exactly the same only sb on the front standing for saccharomyces cerevisie (boulardii pacific strain) which is the same strain in the original packaged bottle .
Thanks

Candex beneficial to treat leaky gut candida?
7 answers
I didn't find it all that good to be honest. I was using it to treat pruritus anni and it didn't work, but I found something that did. I still use Ethical Nutrients IBS support which seems to help with reduced discomfort and wind.
Thanks mate
I have found great relief so far from this product after trying many other remedies and probiotics with limited success. I was also very wary of adding more yeast to treat yeast infection but looked into it.. the boulardii strain of saccharomyces cerevisiae has been used in studies to treat thrush with success including patients who used miconazole without improvement. I dont understand the science here.. I know if I eat food or drink alcohol high in yeast I have a massive flair up of candida but this product has cleared up my symptoms in a week.. something that would normally take a month using natural remedies.

Jimmyzasked
Is it best to take Candex before/after or with food ?
2 answers
Im not a Pharmacist however i tend to take it in the mornings id recommend after you have had breakfast for optimal results Jimmyz :) may i ask main purpose for the use of Candex hun ?
I read that different reports saying 3 hrs before food or 1 hour after etc. I've been taking it 1 tab/day for a week with no change in my symptoms. Taking it for Thrush as I was put onto it by my local health store who "raved" how good it was.
I'm loath to use creams recommended i.e. Caneston as in the past (twice for jock itch) but broke out in a bad rash and was not keen on going down that trail again if avoidable.No improvement in symptoms in the week I have been using Candex by Ethical Nuitrients.
Luke Terlichasked
If you have passed on yeast infecrion to partner can men take this product too I noticed the label says women? Please advise so my partner and I can both try it.
1 answer
yes you may both take it :) its main purpose is to maintain good bacteria so id recommend taking this and if symptoms persist see your gp. If its really bad it also wouldn't hurt to apply some anti-fungal cream to the area also . Please let me know if this works wishing you a fast recovery :)

Hello,
Will this cure Candida? a irritation of scalp condition flakiness of scalp and hair loss due to long term poor diet. Also taking probiotics and st johns wort.
Appreciate your advice . Cheers
1 answer
Hi, I'm not sure about curing those problems but definitely of great value for on going candida . Maybe cut out sugars and yeast products will help. Good fish oils are also great. Also try to cut out harsh shampoos and conditioners. Food grade coconut oil is wonderful for flakiness and irritated skin, just apply neat and leave on as long as possible. I hope this helps

When is best time to have before or after food and what time of day is more affective please?
2 answers
I can't comment on when it is more effective, but I usually have it about 30mins before breakfast and have no problems. hope this helps!
As it was some years ago, I cannot exactly recall, but think it was prior to breakfast - and at the time I was on antibiotics, and it certainly helped.
Nicanaasked
I am flying to the UK this week and don't want to go without my supply of Candex. I've discovered you can't buy it over there. Any suggestions for keeping it at the right temperature for 24 hrs while flying?!
2 answers
I took mine over to Thailand a month ago for two weeks with no problems. I've read before that keeping them in the fridge is more about making them last longer than having an effect on how well they work. I had no problems for the time I was there while continuing to take them everyday and leaving them in my toiletries bag. Hope this helps!
I took it on a trip to Europe for 6 weeks! Worked prefect even after being in my luggage for 24hrs
