In a healthy digestive tract, the micro-flora consists of balanced amounts of native friendly bacteria and other microbes. This balance is easily disrupted by poor dietary habits, nutritional deficiencies, lifestyle, stress, illness or medications. In such conditions undesirable organisms such as the Candida albicans fungus can overwhelm our protective bacteria, leaving the small and large intestine prone to discomfort and unpleasant symptoms. Caprylic acid is a natural dietary fatty acid found in coconut oil to support this condition. Caprylic Acid Plus includes a number of further supportive ingredients including garlic powder, oregano extract, grapefruit seed extract and green tea extract. Although this product contains garlic, due to low levels it is still suitable for those on a low FODMAP diet.
