Caprylic acid

Found naturally in coconut and palm oil, caprylic acid is an eight-carbon fatty acid. This acid is also found in the milk of cows and humans. It is often used as alternative nutrition for patients who need this specific nutrition supplementation, and also in some food, cosmetic, and drug products. It is advised that people take caprylic acid with either dietary fat such as salad oil and/or butter, or with flax seed oil and/or omega-3 fatty acids. People should also take the supplement when eating food (not cold liquid) to prevent any stomach discomfort. Caprylic acid has many benefits, including treating yeast infections and athlete’s foot due to its anti-fungal properties, and maintaining a level of good microbes in your body.
