The MCFA lauric acid usually gets top billing when someone, usually an authority, talks about coconut oil's amazing antimicrobial kick. But when it comes to antifungal benefits specifically, caprylic acid is the star. Caprylic acid is a natural yeast fighter and often recommended by nutritionists for the treatment of candidiasis or yeast syndrome. It's so effective that many supplement manufacturers put it in their products to help fight systemic and vaginal yeast infections. Caprylic acid capsules are typically sold as a dietary supplement in health food stores. As a topical application, it's no surprise to see fungal skin infections that have lasted for months to clear up in just days with coconut oil. Me and countless others are walking proof of the marvelous antifungal properties of coconut oil. |
