Yeast infection is a serious problem. While it may be dismissed as a simple skin irritation, it is a serious fungi infestation that can lead to a variety of complications and even death!
Also known as Candida infection, yeast infection occurs when the fungi Candida begins to grow in excessive numbers in the body. While Candida albicans normally grow all over the body, its numbers can easily be kept under control by the body's natural immune system. It is when the immune system is down or when the body's so-called good bacteria is killed by antibiotics, that the Candida albicans begin to increase and spread, thus causing the infection.
Among women this is usually manifested in vaginal yeast infections. Because Candida grows in dark and moist places, the vagina, as well as the mouth and underarms are most susceptible to yeast infection. On the other hand, Candida growth in the mouth is more commonly known as thrush.
There are several ways with which yeast infection can be treated. Many would recommend its immediate treatment using anti-fungal creams and ointments. To help prevent excessive Candida or yeast growth, medical practitioners also recommend the use of Candida supplements.

Capsules, tablets and even juices take the form of these supplements that not only help boost the immune system but aid in killing the yeast growing in the body. They will also help your Candida medication work faster, if you are already taking them.
