The challenge: Overgrowth of Candida albicans

Recently a common form of yeast infection has emerged which manifests symptoms that are often systemic causing considerable discomfort. The infection usually originates as an overgrowth of Candida in your lower gastrointestinal tract.

Reasons why this overgrowth occurs...

Frequent courses of steroids and/or antibiotics, use of oral contraceptives and diets high in yeast-containing foods. Sugars, and refined carbohydrates are all known to encourage yeast overgrowth.

The ELISA test...

Immuno Laboratories' ELISA Candida test offers high sensitivity and specificity in detecting a very early stage of Candida overgrowth, thus allowing prompt initiation of therapy.

The Immunodiffusion test...

This test is run concurrently with ELISA and confirms a late stage of this condition - only positive when antibody levels have risen significantly. Both tests are run whenever your physician orders this test. When test results are positive, your doctor will advise you on treatment.
