Q:
I am looking for a product called Caprylic acid. Where do I find it in the johannesburg region? Is this product for vegetarian consumption i.e. no animal products or alcohol used in the product.
How does one use it?
A:
We stock Maximised Caprylic Acid, R132.99 for 100 tablets, and it is suitable for Vegans (thus no animal products or alcohol).
Q:
Thank you.. I went to this health shop in Sandton and they gave me coconut oil and said I should have it first thing in the morning.. it is better then caprylic acid..
Your view on this..
A:
Caprylic acid or octanoic acid is an organic acid found in human breast milk. It is also found at high levels in coconut.
Caprylic acid encourages the growth of beneficial flora in the body, particularly probiotic bacteria found in the lower parts of the digestive system.
The experts recommend caprylic acid for:
Candida
Oral Thrush
Thrush (vaginal)
Some people prefer whole coconut as it may have other anti-fungal properties.
Breaking your fast in the morning (breakfast) is a whole different story and we can talk about it forever:-) Taking the oil on an empty tummy does make sense though and my feeling is that if it is working for you, keep doing it.
Best prize would be if you could come into the store to see one of our highly qualified consultants. They can then recommend something specific to your needs.
Have you been to our store before? We are based in Emmarentia, 103 Komatie Road.
