Candidase® Extra Strength 42 Capsules by Enzymedica – Intestinal Flora Balance Enzyme Supplement
Candidase® Extra Strength capsules by Enzymedica combine enzymes, botanicals and a probiotic for intestinal flora balance. This 42-capsule formula brings together a 290 mg botanical-and-probiotic blend with three separately listed enzymes. Unlike an enzyme-only formula, it includes garlic, grape seed, essential oils, egg-derived lysozyme and Bacillus subtilis. It is a lacto-ovo vegetarian option, not a vegan supplement.
Key Candidase® Extra Strength 42 Capsules Benefits
- Supports the maintenance of healthy intestinal flora with a combination of probiotic bacteria, botanicals and enzymes rather than relying on a single ingredient.
- Provides enzymes that break down different substrates, including plant fibers and proteins, through complementary enzyme activities.
- Includes one billion CFU of probiotic bacteria per capsule as part of its broader digestive wellness formula.
How Candidase® Extra Strength 42 Capsules Works
Enzymes work by cutting larger molecules into smaller pieces. Hemicellulase and Cellulase act on different plant-fiber structures, while Protease acts on proteins. The probiotic component supplies live bacteria rather than digestive enzymes. These roles are distinct: breaking down a substrate is not the same as replenishing bacteria. The botanical blend rounds out the manufacturer's flora-support formulation without disclosing individual botanical amounts.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Hemicellulase: Breaks down hemicellulose, a group of complex carbohydrates in plant cell walls. Its role differs from that of cellulase because plant fiber includes several structures, each requiring an enzyme suited to its bonds.
- Cellulase: Helps break the bonds in cellulose, a structural fiber in plants. It complements hemicellulase by acting on a different plant-wall component; enzyme activity does not mean that all dietary fiber is completely digested.
- Protease: Breaks protein chains into smaller peptides by cutting the bonds between their building blocks. This is a protein-processing function, distinct from the carbohydrate breakdown performed by the formula's fiber-directed enzymes.
- Bacillus subtilis: Supplies the formula's probiotic support for healthy gut flora. Probiotics are live microorganisms, not enzymes. Their activity depends on the strain and formulation, so different Bacillus subtilis products should not be treated as interchangeable.
- Lysozyme: Cleaves bonds in peptidoglycan, a structural material in bacterial cell walls. This biochemical function is different from digesting plant fiber or protein. The lysozyme here comes from egg, an important consideration for anyone with an egg allergy.
Candidase® Extra Strength 42 Capsules Is Formulated For
- Adults seeking a combined enzyme, botanical and probiotic approach to digestive wellness.
- People who can use an egg-containing supplement and follow the manufacturer's short-course directions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Candidase® Extra Strength 42 Capsules
What are the benefits of Candidase® Extra Strength 42 Capsules?
Candidase® Extra Strength is designed to support healthy intestinal flora with enzymes, botanicals and a probiotic in one capsule. Each serving includes one billion CFU of Bacillus subtilis within a 290 mg blend, plus hemicellulase, cellulase and protease. The enzymes act on different kinds of molecules rather than all doing the same job. This combination distinguishes Extra Strength from a simple enzyme supplement, but it should not be used as a substitute for medical evaluation of persistent digestive concerns.
Who should take Candidase® Extra Strength 42 Capsules?
This formula is an option for adults looking for combined enzyme, botanical and probiotic support who can take an egg-containing supplement. It is lacto-ovo vegetarian, not vegan. The directions are specific: take one capsule 15 minutes before each meal, three times daily, for 14 days. Anyone who is pregnant, nursing, taking medication or has a medical condition should consult a physician before use. Egg allergy is a reason to avoid this particular formula rather than choosing it as a general probiotic.
Are there any side effects of taking Candidase® Extra Strength 42 Capsules?
The label states: Consult a physician prior to use if pregnant or nursing, taking medications or have a medical condition. Contains: egg Please keep out of reach of children Do not use a safety seal is broken or missing.

How does Candidase® Extra Strength 42 Capsules support overall health?
Candidase® Extra Strength focuses on digestive wellness rather than broad vitamin or mineral replacement. Hemicellulase and cellulase act on different plant-fiber components, and protease breaks down protein chains. Bacillus subtilis supplies the probiotic component for healthy gut flora, while garlic, grape seed and essential oils are part of the blend. The 6 mg of potassium per capsule is a small amount, not a meaningful replacement for dietary potassium. Balanced meals remain important alongside this targeted supplement.
