I'm on my second bottle of Candizolv and it's the first thing to work on candida with no unpleasant side-effects. I took the recommended 2 capsules a day for a month. Now on my second bottle I take 2 capsules every 2 to 3 days. I also take OptiBac probiotics for everyday, and OptiBac probiotics for women's health as I am keen to resolve over 5 years of candida and rebuild my friendly bacteria levels. There was no way I could cut out sugar in all forms from my diet - already quite restricted as it is from multiple food intolerances. Candizolv was made for people like me - pricey but definitely worth it.
