Candex

Candex is a proprietary brand name for an enzyme supplement marketed to support healthy yeast balance in the body. Its formulation typically includes a blend of cellulase, protease, and amylase enzymes, often alongside a vegetable cellulose capsule.

The purported mechanism of action is that these enzymes work synergistically to break down the non-living cell walls of Candida yeast, thereby aiding the body in eliminating it. Manufacturers claim this helps to reduce yeast overgrowth and promote a healthy gut environment. However, scientific evidence supporting these specific claims is limited and often relies on anecdotal evidence or studies funded by the manufacturer.

It is important to note that Candex is often categorized as a dietary supplement, and as such, it is not subject to the same rigorous testing and approval processes as pharmaceutical drugs. Consumers should consult with a healthcare professional before using Candex, especially if they have pre-existing medical conditions, are taking other medications, or are pregnant or breastfeeding.

The product is commonly found in health food stores, pharmacies, and online retailers. The composition of Candex can vary slightly between different manufacturers and formulations. Consumers should always review the ingredient list and product label before purchase.
