Re: Supplements Question...YES or NO?

 Hi all...

There's so much out there I read about supplements...can you give me advice please?

1. Multi - I can really only do liquid multis (can't swallow big pills)...I was using Buried Treasure High Potency...it has 7g sugar in the form of white grape juice, apple juice, cherry juice, and raspberry juice (in its additional ingredients section). THEN, I read NOT to take multis b/c it helps FEED the candida, i.e. gives it strength?! Is this true? How am I to build up my system when I'm told to take a multi if it also is building up the candida?

Liquid multis are garbage to begin with. The water promotes oxidative destruction of the vitamins so there is likely going to be no vitamins left by the time you take it.  Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) for example is broken down in less than an hour in water. You are better off on getting most of your vitamins and minerals from a decent diet or herbs.

2. Cal/Mag - Bluebonnet Lemon-flavored. 600mg mag to 1200 mg cal...3 g sugar. Is this OK?

Green leafy vegetables and seaweeds are great sources.

3. Probiotics - Primadophilus Optima w/ 35 billion CFU. Is it OK to take while I'm adjusting to diet changes OR should I wait until AFTER I take antifungals, etc. I've heard it BOTH ways...take during ENTIRE treatment and / or take ONLY after yeast gone...and how do we know it's all gone anyways?

You cannot get rid of Candida completely. It is a natural part of the body. And killing the Candida will not work. The dead yeast just becomes food for the live yeast and you will end up with a rebound reaction. Focus on building your immune system instead. I have posted plenty of information on all this in this forum so I am not going to retype it all.

4. Emergen-C Lemon Flavor "Lite" (less sugar)...I take this for extra Vit C...but then I've read that extra Vit C creates problems in a body w/ candida.

I would go with natural vitamin C sources since many also inhibit Candida. For example watercress, blueberries and amla berry.

I appreciate all your guidance, everyone! :)
