Coconut Oil and Caprylic Acid can go a long way to reducing the effects of Candida as a natural cure for yeast 
infection. If you have had bad reactions to antibiotics in the past, or simply want to employ a more natural alternative to improve your health, a few teaspoons a day of coconut oil can work wonders in the relief of candida.
Benefits of Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is a natural anti-fungal agent. The addition of coconut oil to your digestive system can help reduce the fungal growth in the digestive system and help restore the natural balance.
The active ingredient in Coconut oil is Caprylic Acid. This fatty acid kills bacteria and viruses by breaking down the cell walls. Studies have shown that the acids found in coconut oil are just as, if not more effective as pharmaceutical drugs, such as Diflucan, in eliminating Candida.
As an added bonus, research has suggested that the fatty acids in coconut oil such as Caprylic Acid can also help metabolism by raising body temperature, meaning that coconut oil can also help control your weight.
Choose Virgin Coconut Oil
When shopping for coconut oil, look for virgin or extra virgin oil. These oils are of better quality and have less chemical additives than some other products available on the market. Avoid oils made using Copra, as the method used to produce these oils can eliminate some of the nutrients contained.
It’s easy to add coconut oil into your diet. You can use it as a replacement for your regular oil in your cooking. Try it with salads or add a bit to your breakfast cereal. The ideal amount is three tablespoons a day of the oil. You may wish to start with one tablespoon and gradually build up to this amount over three or four days.
Caprylic Acid and Candida Albicans
Caprylic Acid supplements are an easy way to introduce these positive ingredients into your diet. Remembering to add coconut oil to your cooking is a bit annoying and can sometimes change the taste of your food. You can purchase caprylic acid in pill or capsule form. Simply take the recommended dose each morning and you will be well on your way to beating Candida.
Caprylic Acid supplements are best when used in conjunction with other natural treatments of Candida like the lemon water cleanse.
