Product Description: Energy & Metabolism 600mg per softgel Supplement Unique fatty acids that help support microbiome balance Derived from MCT oil to promote increased energy levels Promotes gastrointestinal health Delivering high-quality products based on science since 1969 Swanson Caprylic Acid provides 600mg of C8 caprylic acid in one easy-to-swallow softgel to help boost energy and metabolism. Caprylic acid is an MCT (medium-chain triglyceride), a type of lipid that is digested in the liver like a carbohydrate rather than in the intestine. This provides energy more than twice as fast as glucose. Caprylic acid was first popularized as a supplement by Dr. William Crook, author of The Yeast Connection, a renowned book on gut ecology. Caprylic acid is widely taken today along with other effective supplements such as Acidophilus and FOS for healthy microbiome balance. It is also popular among athletes for its fast-acting energy. How to use: As a supplement, take 1 softgel twice daily with water before meals.
