Candida albicans is yeast that most people have in their genitourinary tract, throat, intestines and mouth. Everyone is exposed to and lives with microorganisms such as fungi, bacteria and viruses. It is used as perfectly normal part of our bowels and is typically not harmful.

Candida albicans are a type of fungi, which are plants that can't create their own food. In the wild fungi have an important role in decomposition of organic matter. Fungi are typically found in dark moist areas with soil and decomposition organics. They are also used in a lot of the products that we enjoy such as beer and wine. Fungi have also been used in making enzymes and antibiotics. The study of fungi is known as mycology.

There are many factors that put people at a higher risk of uncontrolled growth. Simply a weakened immune system could let the yeast grow out of control. Also pregnancy, birth control pills, expose to environmental molds and diets high in carbonate to name just a few.
