One of the health challenges we all face is keeping the naturally occurring Candida inhabitants in our digestive tracts in a friendly single-cell condition. We don’t want them to grow into “weeds” or “germ gangs,” which wreak havoc with human health.
Caprylic acid is one effective way to help prevent and disrupt such germ gangs (technically called biofilms). I have previously reported on this in my article, Caprylic Acid Helpful for Candida and Bacterial Biofilms.
Japanese researchers have now found that caprylic acid inhibits the formation of adverse Candida growth at low doses of intake, adding to the existing anti-fungal and anti-bacterial usefulness of this novel medium chain fatty acid.
Another study shows that caprylic acid inhibits the invasion of infectious Salmonella into the digestive tract lining. The caprylic acid was found to be communicating to the Salmonella and turning down gene signals associated with invasion. It is typical of many nutrients that protect the digestive tract that they prefer negotiation over gun battles.
It is nice that a nutrient that is non-toxic to humans can have a corrective effect on a problem that often hampers the health of the sinuses, mouth, and digestive tract. While Western medicine is famous for taking toxic sledgehammers to unwanted visitors, Mother Nature has long ago figured out safer yet effective ways to function in harmony with a broad range of foreigners.
