Culturelle is the first of the probiotics that you can acquire in the United States. They are distributed by CAG Functional Foods. Another on the market is Lp299v, however, this is not currently available in the United States.

Probiotics that hinder Candida overgrowth can be found in many of the foods we consume. Some unsweetened yogurts have long been known for their probiotic attributes. A diet that includes 2 of such yogurts a day will help you get necessary amount to decrease Candida overgrowth. These probiotic yogurts are meant to keep your intestinal tract healthy.
