Beneficial bacteria, pathogenic bacteria and yeast should balance each other out in the intestines. However, when the balance is disrupted by modern diet, chlorinated water, stress or medications, a yeast overgrowth may occur, causing, leaky gut syndrome and resulting in digestion problems, allergies and auto immune disorders. Super 8 has been specially formulated to be effective against this yeast overgrowth known as Candida. The specific strains used in Super 8 have been specially chosen for their value to upper bowel health and have been formulated to the appropriate viable count.
