New Roots Caprylic Acid Plus, 120 Vegetable Capsules

New Roots Herbal Caprylic Acid Plus is built around caprylic acid, a naturally occurring short-chain fatty acid from red palm oil, delivered in three forms (zinc, calcium and magnesium caprylate). It is rounded out with lapacho (pau d'arco) bark, odourless garlic bulb and clove buds.

This is a formula people often reach for as part of a cleanse routine, and the 120-count bottle suits a longer program. It comes in non-GMO vegetable capsules with only vegetable magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide added.

• 120 vegetable capsules
• 400 mg caprylic acid per capsule, from red palm oil

Caprylic Acid Plus is designed to kill Candida albicans yeast in the body. 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 yeast can overpopulate and affect the skin, genitals, and digestive tract. This can often happen following the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics or from high blood-glucose levels common for those suffering from diabetes. Caprylic acid is a naturally occurring short-chain fatty acid that kills off the Candida yeast by disintegrating its cell walls. Its antibacterial action is further strengthened by the antifungal properties of pau d’arco, cloves, and garlic extract.
