When looking for the best probiotic Candida albicans treatments to help you relieve your symptoms, there are a number of important factors that you need to consider first.

We're constantly being bombarded with loads of commercials pushing the health value of probiotic yogurts and other live foods and supplements, but what exactly are they and how can they help someone suffering from candida?

Essentially, a probiotic is a friendly bacterium or living microbe, which is readily found in the human body and is there to aid digestion and the absorption of nutrients, as well as acting as a line of defence against candida overgrowth or other yeast infection.

There are about twenty times more bacteria in the body at any one time than there are cells in the human body, and we have evolved to normally live a healthy symbiotic (side by side) relationship with them. In fact without them we would not be able to perform many of the bodily functions we take for granted like digestion.

However, should the levels of the good bacteria drop due to poor health or through taking a wide spectrum antibiotic, the levels of bad bacteria multiply and candida can then gain a foothold in the digestive tract and spread.

If yeast infections symptoms are spotted, then the doctor will often prescribe a number of treatments, but chief among these may be to instruct you to start taking a probiotic supplement, or including probiotic "live" food into your diet. This is especially true if the infection is due to taking antibiotics.

The good news is that supplements have been shown to be very effective in raising the levels of friendly bacteria in your body again.

In order to find the best available probiotic candida supplement, specific to your needs, you need to consider the following factors:

Choose only those of the highest quality available. A high potency, high quality probiotic is essential to increasing the levels of good bacteria.

A good quality supplements should contain lactobacillus, bifobacterium and acidophilus, which are all beneficial to the digestive tract and help combat yeast infections.

The way that the supplements or food is stored is key to ensuring you receive the most benefit. When buying a live probiotic ensure that the best before date is clear and that you have the appropriate storage facilities at home.

You should be looking for supplements that can supply around 50 billion friendly bacteria (probiotics) in each dose. Levels lower than this may not introduce enough friendly bacteria to make a difference.

Make sure that you complete the full course of the supplement program, unfortunately if you do not then your Candida problem may only return.

Finally, the most expensive probiotic does not necessarily make it the best.
