Candida is a type of yeast-like fungus that is often found in the human body. It is estimated that around three out of four women will have a Candida infection at some point in their lives, and it is most commonly found in the vagina, mouth, and intestines. While it typically lives in balance with other microorganisms, Candida can multiply quickly and cause issues. Symptoms of Candida overgrowth include fatigue, digestive issues, skin rashes, and yeast infections.
