Candida Albicans is a microscopic fungi that causes yeast infections. It can be found on the skin in the genital and gastrointestinal areas as well as in the vaginal area of women. It is an opportunistic disease. The candida bacteria is kept under control by friendly probiotic bacteria. However, sometimes the balance between these bacteria can be disturbed and the Candida bacteria may multiply unchecked, leading to a yeast infection. They can also spread fungus through the intestinal walls and into the bloodstream.
