A real candida infection — oral thrush, recurrent vaginal thrush, invasive candidiasis — is a medical diagnosis with a medical treatment. The broader idea sold online, that unrecognised \"candida overgrowth\" causes fatigue, brain fog and bloating in otherwise well people, is not a recognised diagnosis and does not have good evidence behind it. What is actually inside these bottles is a herbal blend — usually caprylic acid, oregano, berberine, garlic or black walnut. Several of those kill yeast in a petri dish. That is a long way from doing anything measurable in a person.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow to take it\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollow the label serving, with food\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you have actual symptoms — oral thrush, a recurrent infection, a rash that will not clear — see a doctor.
