NOW® Caprylic Acid is a natural nutrient that has been traditionally used to support internal wellness. Also known as caprylic acid, Caprylic acid is a medium-chain fatty acid (MCT) with a short to medium chain that is naturally found in coconut oil, coconut and butter, as well as in human breast milk. Caprylic acid supports healthy digestion through its ability to promote a healthy balance of the intestinal 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 the treatment and relief of 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 increase of a parasitic fungus known as candida, which resides in the intestine of a person.
It can cause a range of health-related issues, 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, best possible physical condition and regulate an individual's intellect, vitality and even its development.
Due to its short chain length, it can easily penetrate the membranes of fat cells and is therefore effective in combating certain bacteria covered by lipids (including some species of Streptococcus and Staphylococcus aureus).DOES NOT contain: sugar, salt, starch, yeast, flour, gluten, corn, soy, milk, eggs, shellfish, or preservatives.
