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. In the pH range of 2.5 – 8.5, CAPRIN exhibits high fungicidal activity against yeasts, especially Candida Albicans. The anti-fungal effect of CAPRIN has been demonstrated in both clinical trials and in vitro studies. Additionally, of course, an antifungal program has to include a change in diet that is low in carbohydrates, especially sugar and most grains, especially avoiding corn and peanuts.ĬAPRIN is an anti-fungal preparation preferred by many doctors in addition to or instead of the prescription drug Nystatin for the control of intestinal yeast Candida Albicans. But we most often use CAPRIN in combination with GARLIC PLUS, ADP and Biotics’ herbal antifungal supplement FC-CIDAL as a “”total program”” to combat intestinal and systemic fungal overgrowth. Due to its relatively short chain length it has no difficulty in penetrating fatty cell wall membranes, hence its effectiveness in combating certain lipid-coated bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus and various species of Streptococcus. an imbalance of the micro-flora in the gut.ĬAPRIN is also used in the treatment of some bacterial infections. CAPRIN is excellent for dealing with candida in the intestines which occurs quite often due to intestinal dysbiosis, i.e. CAPRIN (Caprylic Acid) is the common name for the eight-carbon saturated fatty acid that is commonly found naturally in coconuts and breast milk.ĬAPRIN is known to have anti-fungal properties, and is often recommended by nutritionists & physicians for the treatment of candidiasis.
