Caprylic Acid Plus is formulated to combat the fungal infections such as thrush, otherwise known as chronic candidiasis. The most common species of yeast responsible for this condition is Candida albicans. Candida is kept in check in healthy persons; unfortunately, this opportunistic yeast can overpopulate and affect the skin, genitals, and digestive tract. This can often happen following the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics or from high blood-glucose levels common for those suffering from diabetes.
