Is Caprilic Acid Tablets Safe To Take While Having Probable Autoimmune Problems?

I have been having regular blood tests for my liver, I am teetotal, so dr thinks it is an auto ammune problem. I would like to ask you if Caprilic Acid tablets are safe for me to take? I am very nervous about taking them as Caneston tabs have made my liver very unwell, but I need to treat my fungal problem, as it is very uncomfortable. Thanks in advance Regards Christine Moore

Hi,

Caprilic acid tablets contain caprilic acid which is a medium fatty that is found in palm oil, coconut oil and the milk of humans and bovines. Caprilic acid is used for epilepsy, a nerve disorder that causes uncontrollable shaking in parts of the body or essential tremor, kidney failure, digestive disorders, fungal infections and other conditions. Caprilic acid acts as a natural yeast fighting agents, it is believed that it can penetrate the cell membranes of candida yeast cells and cause them to die off, detoxifying the digestive tract and spreading up the healing process. Aside from candida, yeast can cause other types of internal or external yeast infections that show up on the skin, genitals, toes and elsewhere.

Caprilic acid can help get rid of yeast infections like toe fungus, oral infections, vaginitis in women, jock itch in men and ringworm are all examples of yeast infections that can be prevented or treated. Caprilic acid contains antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties as well as acts as a natural immune system booster. Caprilic acid tablets are safe to take while having probable autoimmune disorders and liver problems.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
