Potassium bitartrate (cream of tartar), also known as potassium hydrogen tartrate, is a byproduct of winemaking. In cooking it is known as cream of tartar. It is obtained when tartaric acid is half neutralized with potassium hydroxide, transforming it into a salt. Grapes are the only significant natural source of tartaric acid, and cream of tartar is obtained from sediment produced in the process of aging wine. It is found on the insides of the wine barrels and sometimes at the bottom of bottles of wine. It crystallizes out as a hard crust in the barrels.

During Dr. Tommy Revis' practice he used Cream of Tartar was an integral part of his program to fight candida overgrowth.* And this is why we have included it in Candessence™. The cream of tartar is a must for supporting the body in the removal of the yeast from the intestines and/or any other place it could be hiding!*

Lactobacillus sporogenes is a lactobacillus / bifidus shielded by a spore. This spore "armours" the good bacteria against not only acid but also the other enemies of good bacteria such as heat, light and even antibiotics!* While in acid, the spore holds tight. When in the alkaline environment of the intestine the spore opens and releases the good bacteria. In Asia, savvy pharmaceutical companies are blending their antibiotics with Lactobacillus Sporogenes, to prevent the dysbiosis that happens with antibiotic use.* Smart! This is the only protected and survivable acidophilus.* So survivable it is measured not by how many good bacteria there are per gram but by how well it will re-colonize the intestines!*

Good bacteria (pro biotic) products abound in the US market. What makes the Lactobacillus Sporogenes different? Let’s look at the matter of survive-ability.

1) Most probiotic products have tens of millions of live bacteria at the moment they are packaged. Usually 15 to 30 billion per gram (1000 mg). Even though the good bacteria is freeze dried and put into suspended animation there is still a die off which starts while in the bottle. After sitting on the shelf for a while at the makers warehouse, the shippers and then at your local store by the time you buy the product and eat it, the count of good bacteria still alive is about half of what it was when it was made.

2) The great enemy of good bacteria is stomach acid which is usually between 2 and 4 pH. Fairly close to pure hydrochloric acid which has a pH of 1. Acid kills most of the good bacteria. By the time the good bacteria reaches the friendly environment of the intestines, its numbers have been greatly reduced to the point where only thousands continue to exist out of the billions the product started off with. That’s why you have to start off with billions and not mere millions. Will this work, yes we know it will but re-colonization of the gut with good bacteria this way will take quite a long time.

The lactobacillus sporogenes is a must for helping to recolonize the intestines with good bacteria.*

Molybdenum is an essential trace mineral in animal and human nutrition. It is found in several tissues of the human body and is required for the activity of some enzymes that are involved in catabolism, including the catabolism of purines and sulfur amino acids.*

It is also needed to build strong tooth enamel and it may help prevent dental decay.*

Molybdenum may help prevent molybdenum deficiency.* Molybdenum may have putative anti-carcinogenic activity.* As a component of various enzyme systems, molybdenum plays essential roles in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, amino acids that contain sulfur, iron, and genetic material.*

Yeast living in you eats the sugars and carbohydrates and urinates out 14% alcohol. This alcohol is responsible for the brain fog and general malaise that candida patients feel. Your basically a walking beer factory. Molybdenum is a mineral which when taken in by the yeast short circuits the alcohol production making it so the yeast urinates out water instead of alcohol.* Thus Molybdenum may help reduce the body's reaction to an overgrowth of yeast including brain fog and bloating.*

Molybdenum Citrate is the preferred form of the mineral as it is more highly absorbed and utilized than most any other form of molybdenum.* Where as it would take 500 mcg or more of molybdenum glycinate or gluconate to do the job of stopping alcohol production it only takes 120 mcg of the molybdenum citrate to do the same job.

The citrate of any mineral is the best absorbed form of that mineral. The glucinate form are minerals bonded to sugars: sugars slow down mineral absorption. The minerals bonded onto amino acids ignore the fact that proteins need to latch onto a lipid (fat) in order to be transported across the intestinal wall. Anything in the citric acid family, including Vitamin C, gets absorbed instantly with no need to catch a ride onto something else in order to get into the body.*

Note: In reality, there are approximately 163 scoops of Candessence in each "can". At 2 scoops per day, 1 "can" will last approximately 81 days. At 4 scoops per day, 1 "can" will last approximately 40 days.

We suggest those who wish to give themselves a quick and hard hitting colon recolonization should use 4 scoops a day for the first "can" and then begin 2 scoops a day until they attain their desired recolonizing. After desired results are had, 1 scoop per day can be used for maintenance.
