Caprylic acid is a fatty acid. Discovered in the late 1930's, caprylic acid has been found to be a very effective antifungal agent, especially in the control and maintenance of normal healthy microorganisms in the digestive tract.
Caprylic acid shows a fungistatic action by inhibiting the separation of buds from the parent candida cell. At high doses, it destroys the integrity of the candida cell wall, causing the cells to leak and collapse.
Are there side effects associated with taking Caprylic Acid?
Caprylic acid is non-toxic and non-sensitising at recommended dosages. However users may experience fatigue, headaches and flu-like symptoms during the first two to five days. This is due to the die-off effect and re-absorption of the metabolites of the bacteria. This is only temporary and indicates and indicates that the Caprylic acid is working well. If this occurs, reduce the dosage or discontinue for 24 hours and consume plenty of water and high fibre foods to help flush the dead yeast cells and toxins out of the body.
