Caprylic Acid

WHAT IS CAPRYLIC ACID? Caprylic acid (also known as octanoic acid), is a saturated fatty acid that is naturally found in the milk of various mammals and is also one of the main fatty acids in coconut oil. As a medium-chain triglyceride (MCT), caprylic acid has well-documented anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal properties and is widely used to prevent urinary tract and bladder infections, sexually transmitted diseases, oral infections such as gingivitis, and most notably, candidiasis, a fungal infection caused by a yeast (a type of fungus) called Candida.

WHAT IS CAPRYLIC ACID?

Caprylic acid (also known as octanoic acid), is a saturated fatty acid that is naturally found in the milk of various mammals and is also one of the main fatty acids in coconut oil. As a medium-chain triglyceride (MCT), caprylic acid has well-documented anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal properties and is widely used to prevent urinary tract and bladder infections, sexually transmitted diseases, oral infections such as gingivitis, and most notably, candidiasis, a fungal infection caused by a yeast (a type of fungus) called Candida. Candidiasis (often simply referred to as Candida) is extremely common, especially among women, and can manifest as extreme fatigue, abdominal bloating, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), sugar cravings, oral thrush, recurring genital, or urinary tract infections (UTIs), sinus infections, recurrent skin and nail fungal infections, and joint pain.

Caprylic acid also plays a key role in the body's regulation of energy, a function that involves the hormone ghrelin, a hormone produced in the gastrointestinal tract, which is often referred to as the "hunger hormone" because of its implication in food intake. This is why caprylic acid can be used to enhance weight loss by speeding up calorie burning, or burning fat for energy (a clean source of energy). Caprylic acid and other MCT’s are also extensively used by endurance athletes and bodybuilders to enhance performance, prolong peak performance, and facilitate weight loss/fat loss.

  • Supports Digestive Health

WHO NEEDS CAPRYLIC ACID?

Caprylic acid may be recommended along with a strict Candida diet and supplementation for candidiasis, to help manage conditions such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and many other GI conditions. Caprylic acid may also be recommended as a disinfectant to reduce food borne illness in lieu of antibiotics, such as Salmonella, Escherichia coli, and Listeria. It is also frequently recommended to help improve overall cholesterol (lower total cholesterol and “bad” cholesterol, as well as improve “good” cholesterol).

CAPRYLIC ACID POTENCIES, FORMS & FORMATS

Caprylic acid supplements are primarily available in capsules and liquid, in various concentrations since not set recommended daily intake has been established. Generally speaking, health care professionals recommend a dose in the range of 500 to 1000 mg, 3X daily. For Candida, caprylic acid is usually recommended in the 1 - 2 g dose range, to be taken 3X daily 30 minutes before a meal.

FINAL THOUGHTS ON CAPRYLIC ACID

Caprylic acid is generally well-tolerated and causes few side effects. Some people report symptoms of mild digestive upset such as diarrhea, bloating, and nausea.

Caprylic acid supplements are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Because caprylic acid is broken down by the liver, supplementation may overload a hypo functioning liver, thus those with an existing liver condition should consult their health care practitioner prior to use. Caprylic acid can also cause low blood pressure. If you have chronically low blood pressure, consult your health care practitioner prior to use.
