What is candida?

Thu, May 03, 2018

Candida is a yeast normally found in certain parts of our body such as mouth, intestines, and vagina. Recently scientists have discovered it living normally, without causing problems, in our eyes. If our immune system is working normally candida does not cause us any problems; on the contrary it helps with our digestion and nutrition and vitamin absorption. It is only if it starts to overgrow and turn into a fungal infection that it can start causing symptoms.

It is one of the most common fungal infections found in humans. Candida is dimorphic — it changes from yeast to fungus and produces finger-like structures called hyphae which can burrow through the wall of the intestine and penetrate through, causing a phenomenon called leaky gut syndrome.
