Pure Encapsulations Caprylic Acid Capsules

What caprylic acid is

A medium-chain fatty acid found naturally in coconut oil and palm kernel oil. In this product it's buffered, bound to calcium and magnesium, which slows how quickly it releases as it moves through your digestive tract.

That gradual release is the reason to choose a buffered product over plain caprylic acid. Unbuffered versions release higher up, so less reaches the lower digestive tract where people generally want it.

Why people look for it

Caprylic acid is commonly searched alongside yeast balance, and that's clearly what brings people to this page. What we can say is that it's studied for its role in supporting a balanced microbial environment in the gut. What we can't do is tell you it will resolve a specific condition, and if you think you have one, that's a conversation for your doctor rather than a supplement label.

Taking it

One hundred and twenty capsules. Take with food. Starting at a lower dose and building up over a week is sensible, since introducing anything that shifts gut microbes quickly can be uncomfortable.

Check with your doctor if you're pregnant, nursing, taking medication or managing a health condition.
