Lauric Acid (Monolaurin)

Hi all,

Most of the time candida sufferers mention Caprylic Acid as a natural antifungal to treat chronic intestinal candidiasis.

Caprylic Acid is an antifungal substance however it doesn't compare in potency with Lauric Acid and Capryc Acid. The 3 are present in Coconut oil.

When you deal with candida, you have to be selective choosing the supplements. Lauric Acid is sold at almost the same price you pay for Caprylic Acid and has more powerful anticandida activity. It is also a very effective antiviral.

ABSTRACT
The susceptibility of Candida albicans to several fatty acids and their 1-monoglycerides was tested with a short inactivation time, and ultrathin sections were studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) after treatment with capric acid. The results show that capric acid, a 10-carbon saturated fatty acid, causes the fastest and most effective killing of all three strains of C. albicans tested, leaving the cytoplasm disorganized and shrunken because of a disrupted or disintegrated plasma membrane. Lauric acid, a 12-carbon saturated fatty acid, was the most active at lower concentrations and after a longer incubation time.
