Seems to work, but if you are new at this watch out!
I think my experience with this product might help clarify the contradiction between those who say it works great and those who say it made them sick.
I have candidiasis due to 2 years of continual antibiotic use, and I guess the amount of candida overgrowth in my body was very extreme when I started treatment. This was one of the first products I tried after going on the candida diet, and it was bad! My stomach started gurgling within minutes of taking each dose, and after a few days of use I felt totally sick, drained of energy, and was horribly flatulent with alternating constipation and diarrhea. Even if I had the energy, I could not really leave the house due to VERY smelly gas and a couple of incidences of soiling myself (sorry, TMI). I realized this all went away when I left this product alone, so I put it up on the shelf and proceeded with other natural and pharmacological candida treatments. A month later, I pulled it off the shelf again and looked at the ingredients. It is all really good stuff that has been recommended to me to battle Candida. I decided to give it another try at half dosage. I soon found I am now able to take the full dosage with minimal adverse symptoms (mostly slight lethargy)
What I think was going on was, this product DOES work but I started with such a high candida load that the "candida die-off" symptoms were unbearable. Now that I have improved (although still battling candida), the die-off symptoms are tolerable.
I would suggest new users with severe candidiasis, use this with caution and start by cutting each dose in half until you see how you tolerate it. You might have to leave it alone, or significantly lower your dose, until you have taken other measures to treat your candidiasis. "Die off" is not fun, but it should not be as unbearable as it was during my 1st round of using this product.
