Product Description

CapriPlus -Fatty acids and botanicals for fungal control. -CapriPlus
is a natural mycostatic complex providing a broad spectrum of high potency
antifungal nutrients with anti-Candida albicans specificity. Caprylic acid and
sorbic acid are fatty acids demonstrated to control both the yeast and fungal
forms of this organism. Odorless garlic is included for its widely-researched
anti-fungal properties. Oil of oregano contains a complex mixture of highly
active terpenoids and phenolic compounds known to exert strong antimicrobial
activity. Importantly, CapriPlus tablets are enterically coated for optimal
intestinal release and patient compliance. -Caprylic acid has long been known
as an effective inhibitor of Candida albicans in the human intestinal tract
without undesirable side effects (Arch Intern Med 1954, pp. 55-60). Sorbic acid
is another agent with anti-Candida activity (J Appl Bacteriol 1983;54:383-9)
that has lowered intestinal yeast counts in animal studies (Poult Sci
1985;64:832-40). Oil of oregano has been identified as one of the most potent
antifungal essential oils ever tested, superior to both tea tree oil and
caprylic acid (Antimicrob Chemother 1998;42:591-5); J Applied Nutr
1995;47:96-102). -Garlic, another potent antifungal agent, has been shown
effective for inhibiting intestinal Candida growth in animal studies (Br Vet J
1980;136: 448-51). Caprylic acid has long been known as an effective inhibitor
of Candida albicans in the human intestinal tract without undesirable
side effects (Arch Intern Med 1954, pp. 55-60). Sorbic acid is another
