Caprylic Acid Source & Availability

Caprylic Acid is a natural, herbal, botanical dietary supplement commonly available in pill, tablet, or capsule form. Caprylic Acid is naturally derived from coconut oil. Caprylic Acid is a short chain fatty acid that has been known to possess anti-fungal activity for over 40 years.

Caprylic Acid  Medicinal Value

Caprylic acid is an anti-fungal, eight carbon, short chain fatty acid preferred by many doctors over the prescription drug Nystatin for the control of Candida Albicans. The anti-fungal effect of caprylic acid has been demonstrated in both clinical trials and in vitro studies. In the pH range of 2.5 - 8.5, caprylic acid exhibits high fungicidal activity against yeasts, especially Candida Albicans. The exact mechanism of fungicidal action of caprylic acid is not fully understood; however, it is postulated that caprylic acid dissolves the cell membrane of yeast, causing changes in fluidity and permeability that lead to membrane disaggregation. It is believed that Candida migrate into the mucosal wall. Because of its excellent lipotrophic (fat solubility) properties (which allow it to penetrate the mucosal cells), caprylic acid is also believed to be effective against intramucosal Candida.

Because of the fat solubility of Caprylic Acid, it is recommended that dietary fat (butter, salad oil, etc.) be included at meals when Caprylic Acid is taken. Alternatively, Caprylic Acid can be accompanied by essential oils (Flax Seed Oil, fish oil, Omega 3 fatty acids, etc.). Because it is rapidly absorbed, Caprylic Acid should be given in a sustained release formula to distribute the agent throughout the intestinal tract.
