I don't have an experience exactly with Caprylic acid which is extracted from plant fats such as coconut oil. But I have a wonderful experience with coconut oil itself. I used to have a really bad eczema on my hands and feet for so many years and I've seen a lot of doctors and wholistic doctors as well and spent thousands of dollars trying to treat this problem. When I met this wonderful lady who told me to use the coconut oil on my eczema, and it was like a miracle, after a week, my eczema were cured.
