Caprylic Acid and Candida

Caprylic Acid (or Octanoid Acid) is an anti-fungal agent found naturally in coconuts and breast milk. In the commercial world, it is found not only in Candida cures but also dyes and perfumes.

Caprylic Acid is used in treatments for a variety of conditions, including fungal, yeast and Candida. It is a mild, naturally occurring chemical that can easily be added to your Anti-Candida diet.

You can buy Caprylic Acid in capsule form, or you can buy the coconut oil and eat that instead. Just buy a jar and take one tablespoon 1-2 times a day. You can even use it as a night-time moisturizer too!

How does Caprylic Acid work?

It is unclear how Caprylic Acid works, but repeated studies have shown its effectiveness against Candida. However, you must be careful to buy the special 'time-release' formulas that allow for delayed release throughout the intestine. This is because Caprylic Acid is very easily absorbed by the intestine.

How do you take Caprylic Acid?

You can buy Caprylic Acid in capsules (which have a slightly rancid taste), or you can buy coconut oil instead. Just buy a jar and take one tablespoon 1-2 times a day.
