  • A unique fatty acid supporting healthy internal ecology

  • A favorite among athletes as a quick energy boost

  • Made famous by Dr. William Crook in his book "The Yeast Connection"
Caprylic acid was first popularized as a dietary supplement by Dr. William Crook, author of the famous book on internal ecology, The Yeast Connection. Today it's widely used as a companion to other effective supplements, such as acidophilus and FOS, for healthy microbial balance. It's also gaining popularity among athletes, who appreciate it for its quick energy. Caprylic acid is a medium-chain triglyceride (MCT), a type of lipid that is not digested in the gut, but rather in the liver, like carbohydrates. As such, they deliver quick energy--more than twice that delivered by glucose.

I think it realy helps me with my digestion. Certainly will order again August 31, 2010
No Energy Boost Buy this product because you need Caprylic Acid, not because of the claimed energy boost. I find the claim that it provides a faster energy boost than glucose to be untrue. August 28, 2010
Using Caprylic Acid Swanson's Caprylic Acid softgels are convenient and easy to use. From my own experience I find that taking them with food seems to help them work even better. August 15, 2009
Totally Awesome! This stuff is great. Taken with the Ultimate Probiotic Formula and Bioperine, I got the best energy boost from a supplement that I've ever had. I have tried nearly everything and this stuff really works. April 27, 2009
