I used Candex for a couple of months. I can't say that it "alone" definitely helped me. It may have, but I was on (and still am) a very strict diet as well as Nystatin and other natural yeast killers. I am feeling a lot better now, but I also incorporated another product that I think really helped me the most. I still take it and won't stop until I know for sure that the candida problem is gone. It is from a company called Flora-Balance and they sell a complete kit for controlling candida. Along with the diet, I think it has helped me tremendously.
