Firstly, as the psyllium expands and presses against the intestinal wall, the caprylic acid is released at a rate determined by the gel, not by the acidity of an individual's intestinal environment. Thus, the caprylic acid is released slowly, along the entire length of the colon.

Secondly, the fibre acts as a brush or scrub to clean the intestines while, at the same time, it delivers caprylic acid to intestinal walls. This is like using a toothbrush with toothpaste. The brush does the cleaning job, the paste acts on the gums and teeth to deliver whatever benefits it may have.

And because candida yeast is often buried deep in the slimy toxic substances that accumulate in the intestines, this brushing action helps ensure that the caprylic / octanoic acid reaches the candida.

Anyone try this ?

I have not used caproyl, but have had success using caprylic acid supplements in conjunction with an antifungal diet, along with probiotics. My symptoms dramatically decreased within weeks of using, and eventually all went away. I still monitor what I eat. I limit foods with processed sugars and yeast, and eliminate all artificial sugars from my diet. If you do try natural antifungals, you should rotate them monthly. I also used olive leaf extract.

I haven't tried caprylic acid but I noticed the same type of synergistic action with psyllium and probiotics that seems more effective than probiotics alone. Without fiber I find that VSL#3 seems to go right through me and is less effective.

Interesting feedback, I think I will line some up in case I want to try something new. I too tend to take VSL#3DS with psyllium seed together. Not taking either currently as I am doing fine by eliminating negative intakes and that alone is working.
