Caprylic Acid Plus combines caprylic acid with garlic, oregano extract, grapefruit seed extract and green tea extract to support digestive health.
In a healthy digestive tract, the microflora consists of balanced amounts of native friendly bacteria (probiotics) and other microbes. This balance is easily disrupted by poor dietary habits, nutritional deficiencies, lifestyle, stress, illness and medications. Under these conditions undesirable organisms such as the Candida albicans fungus can overwhelm our protective native bacteria, leaving the small and large intestine vulnerable and prone to discomfort and unpleasant symptoms.
If particularly susceptible to tummy upsets or travelling to an exotic place, supplementing with antimicrobial nutrients such as garlic, oregano, grapefruit seed extract and caprylic acid may help provide additional protection.
We recommend that this product is combined with one of our probiotic supplements.
Caprylic Acid:
Caprylic acid is a natural dietary fatty acid found in coconut oil, with a history of traditional use
Garlic Powder:
Garlic has a number of uses with research dating back to 1936, and long-standing traditional use in the history of natural food and herbs. Please note that although this product contains garlic, it is still suitable for those on a low FODMAPs diet. This is because the garlic is only at 70mgs per capsule and hence the level of Fermentable Oligo- Di-, Mono-saccharides and Polyols are sufficiently low enough not to cause any digestive discomfort. It is only when garlic and other high FODMAPs foods are ingested at levels of several grams (not mgs) that they can cause digestive discomfort in susceptible people
Oregano Extract:
Oregano is another well-established herb that again has been traditionally used
Grapefruit Seed Extract:
Grapefruit seed extract, often referred to as Citricidal, has a long history of use
Green Tea Extract:
Green tea is a natural source of catechins
