Swanson Caprylic Acid provides 600 mg of C8 caprylic acid in a single softgel, aiding in energy and metabolism support. As a medium-chain triglyceride (MCT), this lipid is not broken down in the gut, but in the liver, similar to carbohydrates. Therefore, it quickly delivers energy, twice as much as glucose. Dr. William Crook, author of the renowned book "The Yeast Connection", made caprylic acid popular as a dietary supplement. Today, it is commonly used in conjunction with other effective supplements such as acidophilus and FOS to promote healthy microbial balance. It has also gained popularity among athletes for its rapid energy boost.
