Candida is known in medicine as a fungal infection of the mucous membranes. Why is such a name used for dental hygiene products? It's rather off-putting, isn't it?

Candida comes from the Latin "candidus" for "shiny white, snow-white, shimmering white", but also "sincere, clear, cheerful". Candida therefore means something like "the snow-white", but also "the sincere, the cheerful". It is one of Migros' strongest brands and has been on offer for over 75 years.

Hello Refe25, thank you for your request. Frederica has already put it in a nutshell. The origin of the name Candida comes from the Latin adjective candidus and means "white", "shiny". Candidus is also translated as "pure", "radiant" and "happy". I hope this information makes the naming easier to understand. Kind regards, Tabea
