Description

Caprylic acid is used to rebalance “friendly” bacteria and reduce yeast in the gastrointestinal tract. Overgrowth of yeast can cause a variety of problems in the body, including gastrointestinal, genital, endocrine, nervous and immune system function. (1, 2)

Caprylic acid is toxic to yeast (candida albicans spp) and safe for humans. It causes yeast die-off, which in turn causes the yeast to temporarily release more toxins into the system, which may make a person feel worse before feeling better. Symptoms can range from mild to moderate and may include fatigue, headache, nausea, flu-like aches, itching, diarrhea, hives and other symptoms that yeast is known to cause. Some people experience no symptoms whatsoever. If you do experience some of these symptoms, they are temporary and they show that the caprylic acid is doing its job killing off the yeast spores.
