The fungus Candida albicans is one of the most widespread health problems in Western society. It is a common cause of vaginal yeast infections, oral thrush and diaper rash in babies. Candida is a single-celled fungus or yeast that hangs out in the intestinal tract and mucous membranes. We all have candida to begin with, at least a little.
Candida is kept from spreading by friendly bacteria and the cleansing action of your immune system. But when the immune system is weakened or when good bacteria are killed by taking antibiotics for example, a candida infection is just around the nearest corner.
Systemic yeast infections or candidiasis is a condition wherein candida grows out of control overrunning the digestive tract and affecting your entire body. Hundreds of thousands of men and women are plagued with candida overgrowth and they don't even know it.
Some of the symptoms associated with systemic candida infections:
- Fatigue
- Recurrent jock itch or athlete's foot
- Ear infections
- Headache
- Menstrual irregularities
- Impotence
- Digestive problems
- Persistent bladder problems
- Irritability
- Joint pains
- Allergies
.... My goodness, I could be one of them ....
Although all of coconut oil's medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) have antifungal properties, caprylic acid stands head and shoulders above the rest. This MCFA is one of the most powerful natural or nondrug substances to fight yeast you will ever find.
You'll love the effect of 100% caprylic acid against candida and other forms of fungi. This is especially true when mixed with the versatile and ever dependable coconut oil as a topical application for fungal skin infections. That's because all of coconut oil's MCFAs (caprylic acid, capric acid and lauric acid) work together in a synergy to provide the widest and strongest antimicrobial effect.
There are reports of fungal infections lasting for several months, even years, that cleared up in just a matter of weeks, even days, using pure caprylic acid with a little virgin coconut oil (VCO). And believe me when I say that it works just as effective inside your body, blasting fungi without creating a shred of harm. Coconut oil candida benefits are amazing.
You don't have to take it from me. Ask the myriad of supplement manufacturers who put caprylic acid found in coconut oil in their products used to combat candida and a host of other fungal infections. Not to mention the 100% pure caprylic acid in capsule form commonly sold as a dietary supplement in health food stores.
