After the subject of yeast infections came up with a female friend, I consulted Amerifit Brands, manufacturers of AZO Yeast, to investigate further…

Dear Fighters of the Yeast Beast:

From what I can tell, AZO YEAST effectively relieves yeast infections. I’ve never had a yeast infection, probably because I never had a vagina either. That doesn’t mean I don’t know women who have yeast infections, as well as vaginas, so I still need to understand what I’m talking about in this area if it ever comes up.

Since AZO YEAST comes in tablet form, can you explain why that’s better than vaginal cream form? While the cream is probably more fun to apply, it’s going directly onto the problem, whereas your tablet needs to be swallowed. At first, I thought you just insert the tablet into the mouth of the vagina, but upon further research, I discovered it’s meant to be swallowed. How does your treatment know how to get from the mouth to the vagina to fight off the yeast where it lives downtown?

You also claim that AZO YEAST prevents future reoccurrences. How does it know to do that? I can see how a treatment is formulated to relieve what it knows is there, but how can a tablet know how to stop future yeast from wreaking havoc?

I’ve never known a man who got a yeast infection, but I hear it’s possible and quite painful. Can men catch it from their wife, another lover or a neighbor? What’s the difference between female and male yeast? Where does male yeast live? Is AZO YEAST strong enough to kill off manly yeast?

Since I took the time to write, please take the time to answer. It’s the yeast you can do.

A Consumer Resource Team Representative from Amerifit Brands responded with:

Thank you for taking the time to write to us. AZO Yeast is a natural, homeopathic herbal product formulated to help stimulate the body’s natural defenses against yeast and will help with symptoms such as itching and irritation. Homeopathic medicine is a natural form of medicine that uses immeasurably small doses of medicines to stimulate the body’s own defense and healing process. Homeopathy focuses on bringing the entire body back into homeostasis, or balance. The herbs Boneset and Mistletoe have a mild analgesic effect on the body and help with irritation and inflammation. Lactobacillus is good intestinal flora that is natural to the body and helps fend off bad bacteria and yeast by taking over where they like to populate.

AZO Yeast is a tablet that is meant to be swallowed. It will be digested like a normal supplement and go through the digestive tract which is where bacteria and yeast often stem from. AZO Yeast will also help balance pH levels, which is what also contributes to yeast overgrowth. Taking AZO Yeast daily will keep the body’s defenses elevated against yeast and keep everything balanced. You can use an anti-fungal cream along with AZO Yeast. This is a very effective treatment combination. However, many women find AZO Yeast works well on its own.

AZO Yeast was designed and formulated to help with vaginal yeast in women. We do not have clinical data in regard to its benefits when taken by men or with yeast in other parts of the body. For further information in regard to men and yeast issues, I recommend speaking with your Doctor.

I hope this information is helpful. If you have any further questions, please feel free to call us at (phone number followed).

Final Thoughts: Amerifit should definitely be applauded for this highly informative response. Also included were two printouts, which happen to be online: “About Yeast Infections” and “Vaginal Yeast Infections.”

Even if you’ve never experienced a yeast infection or been invited to attend an exam to verify one, there is still a lot you can take away from this reply. For example, who knew that homeostasis means balance? I can’t wait to ask a teller to check my mine! Plus, all this knowledge could definitely qualify you to apply if you ever see a health fair advertising for someone to dress up as the Yeaster Bunny.

Since AZO Yeast was designed and formulated to help with vaginal yeast, men with yeast issues need to pursue other treatments. If you’re experiencing vagina envy or have been through a sex change operation, consult a transsexual surgeon or Candida albicans specialist when you have or suspect symptoms of a male yeast infection.

Here’s where you can learn more about AZO Yeast. However, if you want to learn more about protection from an infection, or a product you know nothing about, one way to get the facts is to Write The Company.
