Candida is a type of yeast that can invade our bodies, mostly the gastrointestinal tract, when our immune systems are compromised. Certain medications, prolonged antibiotic use, and specific health issues or dietary changes can lead to an imbalance of microbes in the body. It does not tend to cause problems when it is found in normal levels, however, an overgrowth of candida can potentially cause serious infections and disease. As a matter of fact, candida yeast is the most common cause of fungal infections in the world.
