Candex

Candex from Pure Essence Labs contains vegetarian enzymes to digest fungal cell walls. Because the cell wall of candida (and all other fungal organisms) is made mostly of fiber, fiber digesting enzymes can break it down. When the cell wall breaks down, the yeast dies, while causing virtually no healing crisis. While candida can develop an immunity to anti-fungal drugs and herbs, it has no defense against the enzymes in Candex.

For many years, Candex has provided the most potent blend of plant based, fiber digesting enzymes available for those suffering from candida. It works very quickly, helping with common vaginal infections in just days.

• Vegetarian Cellulase: Breaks down yeast cells.
• Vegetarian Hemicellulase: Breaks down yeast cells.
• Vegetarian Amylase: Helps break down carbohydrates before they can ferment and add to the yeast issue.
• Vegetarian Glucoamylase: Helps break down large carbohydrates and starches before they can ferment and add to the yeast issue.
• Vegetarian Invertase: Helps break down table sugar, which can be used as an energy source for yeast.
• No Protease: Protease may potentially break-down and destroy the friendly flora in the body, which helps fight yeast.
• Suitable for Vegetarians

In attempts to appear unique or improve upon Candex, some companies have added protease (protein digesting) enzymes to the fiber digesting enzymes in Candex. There are two reasons Pure Essence Labs does not feel this is a wise addition. First, the protease is not necessary to complete the task. Secondly, protease enzymes may compromise the health of probiotics, which are the friendly flora that are essential for good intestinal health. These flora are almost compromised in those who suffer from the overgrowth of Candida.
