Now Foods Caprylic Acid Food Supplement Special 100 softgels

NOW® Capric Acid is a natural nutrient that has been traditionally used to support internal well-being. Also known as octanoic acid, caprylic acid is a medium-chain fatty acid (MCT) that occurs naturally in palm oil, coconut oil, and butter, as well as in human breast milk. Caprylic acid supports healthy digestion through its ability to promote a healthy balance of gut flora and has been renowned for decades for its antifungal properties. Caprylic acid is believed to have many positive therapeutic properties, some of which include treating and alleviating various infections, such as salmonella, ringworm, and gastroenteritis. One of the most common benefits of caprylic acid is the elimination of fungal infections, such as candidiasis. Candidiasis (also known as yeast infection) is the overgrowth of a parasitic fungus known as candida, which resides in a person’s gut. It can cause a number of health problems, including stomatitis, abdominal bloating, chronic fatigue, depression, and various digestive disorders. Similar to omega-3 and omega-6, caprylic acid is considered an essential fatty acid. Fatty acids are essential for concentration, memory, optimal physical fitness, and regulate a person's intellect, vitality, and even growth. Due to its short chain length, it can easily penetrate fat cell membranes and is thus effective in combating certain lipid-coated bacteria (including some species of Streptococcus and Staphylococcus aureus). Does NOT contain: sugar, salt, starch, yeast, flour, gluten, corn, soy, milk, eggs, shellfish, or preservatives.
