You may be suffering from Candida albicans overgrowth – also known as “excess yeast”. There is a simple way to test yourself by using the Candida Saliva Test (or Yeast Test). The exact origins of this test are unknown, but its effectiveness for determining high yeast production has been quite accurate.

1. Fill a clear glass with water and place it beside your bed or on your counter before going to sleep at night.
2. When you awake in the morning, spit into the glass. Do this before having breakfast, your morning coffee, brushing your teeth, etc. It’s important that nothing enters your mouth or touches your lips before you perform this test. Make this the very first thing you do.
3. Immediately take note of how the saliva looks. Now, check in 2-3 minutes and again 15 minutes later.

Healthy saliva that is free from excess yeast will be clear. It can float on top initially, but will slowly dissolve into the water without any cloudiness or sinking. There are normally some bubbles or foam present, however. Saliva that contains an overgrowth of Candida will have one or more of the following characteristics:

• Strings of saliva trailing down to the bottom of the glass. (It may resemble a jellyfish.)
• Cloudy saliva that sinks in a clump to the bottom of the glass
• Cloudy specks suspended in/on the water

The more strings and cloudiness there are, and the faster it develops, the greater the Candida overgrowth.

So how do you combat this overgrowth of yeast? First, you get started immediately on a probiotic supplement with multiple ingredients and billions of microorganisms. No single ingredient product will take care of this problem. Neither will simply eating more yogurt. While yogurt is great as a preventative measure, once you have this problem, you need to call in the cavalry. That’s where RaNisa Naturals Mega Probiotic comes in. This natural blend of seven probiotic ingredients with 5.06 billion microorganisms has proven to help most sufferers combat Candida overgrowth.

Another way to speed up your results is to try cutting back on certain foods that encourage yeast growth. Most people simply cut back on these foods, while others decide to avoid them altogether. That choice is up to you.
