What’s in the Candida Cleanse?

If you’ve been struggling with candida overgrowth—whether it’s bloating, brain fog, fatigue, or stubborn fungal issues—you know that clearing it isn’t always straightforward. That’s why the Yeastrix Candida Cleanse was formulated with a strategic blend of time-tested botanicals and supportive nutrients that work synergistically to rebalance your microbiome, strengthen your gut, and help your body eliminate excess yeast naturally.

Why We Use a Synergistic Blend

Candida is resilient—and often hides behind protective biofilms. That’s why the Yeastrix Candida Cleanse doesn’t rely on a single hero ingredient. Instead, we use a carefully chosen combination of antifungal herbs, biofilm disruptors, digestive aids, and immune supporters. The goal is to:

  • Create an unwelcoming environment for yeast
  • Break down protective biofilms
  • Support the gut lining and digestion
  • Ease inflammation and discomfort
  • Help your body gently eliminate the excess

Targeted Delivery with Clean, Functional Ingredients

The Yeastrix Candida Cleanse uses delayed-release vegetable capsules made with hypromellose and gellan gum, which help protect the active ingredients from stomach acid and deliver them deeper into the gut—where Candida and other microbes tend to reside. For flow, stability, and encapsulation, we use a minimal number of carefully selected excipients: rice powder, a natural fiber blend (including rice fiber, oat fiber, and sunflower lecithin), silicon dioxide, and a small amount of magnesium stearate—a common, safe flow agent used in nearly all professional encapsulations. There are no synthetic binders, no unnecessary fillers, and absolutely no animal-derived ingredients.

More Than Just a Candida Cleanse

Although it’s called the Candida Cleanse, this formula was designed to support your body in addressing a wide range of unwanted microbes—including not just yeast, but also pathogenic bacteria, parasites, and fungal biofilms. Many of the botanicals in the blend have broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties, while others help soothe inflammation, improve digestion, and assist in gut detoxification. It’s a foundational step in restoring microbial balance for anyone dealing with chronic gut issues, post-antibiotic dysbiosis, or stubborn infections that don’t respond to diet alone.
