Candida Albicans is a kind of yeast that directly causes human yeast infections when the opportunity arises. Some 24 kinds of Candida fungi have been identified as causes of human Candida yeast infection, however most yeast infections (above all vaginal and oral yeast infections) are the result of Candida albicans.

However, these organisms are key for the digestion of fatty acids, amino acids, glucose and other micronutrients and for their assimilation. Candida albicans, in keeping with bacteria and fungal microbes, resides in the intestinal tract and elsewhere in the body. When Candida albicans shifts to a forma of fungus, after the yeast form, it then makes its way through the damaged mucous tissues of the intestines to get into the blood circulation and to set up local or even systemic yeast infections.
