Hi Kriminal. This is a good question, but what supplements work for you is quite individual. I also have quite a lot of supplements, some more useless than the other, but I can't say anything is completely useless.
Anti-oxidants like C and E kill candida, I know this because I start to salivate more when taking them. I do not value this synthetic form of C (ascorbic acid) highly though, small amounts is enough, the E I get from vegetable oil. Synthetic E is also bad. Strong vit B complex, and too much selenium is a no-no for people with thyroid OK, but adrenals moderately messed like me, while those with low thyroid will benefit from these quite much because they make thyroid hormone conversion better (T4,T3).
Like Bex, I'm too afraid to damage my liver from anti-fungals, so I can't recommend these either.
For those with a low load of mercury (based on how many fillings you have had), DMSA will not be so helpful, so you can skip it in some cases (I did).
For those with high in candida, ALA + molybdenum + other candida toxin helpers will probably be the best alternative to detox with, if you don't use anti-fungals.
Those who are deeply in the swamp will have to start it out slowly by supplementing with glutathione increasing products, like whey protein and/or liposomal glutathione (which is expensive).
Some other useful helpers: CoQ10 for more energy, magnesium for a restless and jumpy heart (this is a common problem, and helped me very much), zinc as a general aid and to get hair grow faster back, calcium + magnesium supplement for getting enough calcium when on an anti-candida diet.
If adrenals and thyroid are badly affected you need to take some adrenal and thyroid hormones to feel better.
I'm no big fan of megadosing, it's unlikely that megadosing e.g. ascorbic acid or zinc will bring better results than staying in the ordinary dose ranges, so the supplements will last a long time this way.
I know that using only anti-fungals *can* be a quick way out for someone, but it will not work for everyone, and it has high risks associated (those with a bad liver function can't even consider using systemic anti-fungals). For those who want natural anti-fungals: garlic, grapefruit seed extract is a possibility. There is no placebo with garlic at least for me: I got once a huge die-off from a single clove of garlic that I felt all over the place.
For those with a bad liver need to consider using milk thistle, NAC etc. to try to improve its function.
