Caprylic Acid Plus is formulated to combat the fungal infections such as Thrush, otherwise known as Chronic Candidiasis. The most common species of yeast responsible for this condition is Candida albicans. Candida is kept in check in healthy persons. Unfortunately, this opportunistic fungus can overpopulate and affect the skin, genitals, and digestive tract. This can often happen following use of broad spectrum antibiotics or from high blood glucose levels common for those suffering from diabetes.
Caprylic acid is a naturally occurring short chained fatty acid that kills off the Candida yeast by disintegrating its cell walls. Its antibacterial action is further strengthened by the anti fungal properties of pau d'arco, cloves and garlic extract.
CAPRYLIC ACID
What Is It?
Chemically known as octanoic acid, caprylic acid is a medium chained fatty acid naturally found in the milk of many mammals. It can also be found in smaller amounts in coconut oil and palm kernel oils.
Anti-Fungal/Anti-Bacterial Properties
Caprylic acid is best known as an effective anti-fungal and anti-bacterial, often recommended for the treatment of ringworm and candidiasis (systemic yeast overgrowth).
It has been shown to restore and maintain 'normal' or healthy level of yeast in the body, therefore maintaining adequate balance of 'beneficial' or 'healthy' bacteria in relation to yeast and other bacteria that tends to take over the gastrointestinal system. It has also been used for the treatment of leaky gut, IBS gastroenteritis, salmonella, and even parasitic infections. Scientists believe that Caprylic acid is able to break down the protective outer layer of fungi, making it easier for the immune system to attack and eradicate.
Dosage Information
Caprylic acid can be found on its own, or in many combination supplements geared toward removal of yeast or candida. There is no known safe or effective dosage of caprylic acid according to the literature, although anywhere from 300-1200 mg/day have been used for the treatment of yeast and various fungal infections.
CANDIDA
Candida albicans is a fungus that is normally found in the human gastrointestinal and genital tracts. A candida infection occurs if the fungus overgrows or spreads to other areas of the body. People with candida overgrowth typically feel fatigued and have trouble concentrating which are both caused by the toxin that the yeast produces and which is absorbed easily through the intestinal lining.
You can ask your practitioner to do a test for this toxin to make a diagnosis. Apart from this test, a definitive diagnosis of candidiasis is difficult because the symptoms can be non-specific and vary depending on the part of the body that is involved. For example, candida can cause headaches, fatigue, itching, tingling or burning sensations, memory loss, joint and muscle pain, constipation or diarrhea, PMS prostatitis, and even diabetes or hypothyroidism. The symptoms may be worse in damp or mouldy places. They may also worsen after consuming sugary or yeast-based foods. Visually a candida infection appears as white spots that may grow together. The skin surrounding the spots is very red. There may be a white, curdly discharge with a yeasty smell.
Conventional treatment of candida involves antifungal agents applied topically or taken orally. These agents take care of the current infection but do not address the root cause of the infection. Candida often returns and the strains become drug resistant.
Dietary therapy depends upon the severity of the condition. It is aimed at starving the yeast of its food source, sugar. This can result in flu-like symptoms that are due to the toxins that are released as the yeast die. The symptoms will go away once the yeast is under control. They can be countered by drinking lots of filtered water and taking in lots of fibre.
