Some companies sell butyric acid in a salt form capsule ?
How affective are these in inhibiting the conversion of candida yeast to fungus?
Do you recommend taking these capsules for any other type of benefits?
Can these chemicals do reproductive harm/bad side effects?
Thanks
Combining fatty acids with salts helps to create a more stable form for supplements. Butyric acid is a short-chain fatty acid that is known for helping to protect the cells of the intestinal tract. Short-chain fatty acids have weaker anti fungal properties.
Butyrate like any fatty acid has antifungal properties, but those properties are weaker than fatty acids like undecenoic acid, caprylic acid, and lauric acid.
