Product Notes

Caprylic acid or Octanoic acid is an eight carbon fatty acid, which is found in palm, coconut oil and milk. It is used to treat candidiasis and bacterial infections. Octanoic acid has antibacterial and antifungal properties. It is used in nutritional supplementation

It's a medium-chain fatty acid believed to have potent antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties
Antimicrobial lipids such as fatty acids and monoglycerides are promising antibacterial agents that destabilize bacterial cell membranes, causing a wide range of direct and indirect inhibitory effects. The goal of this review is to introduce the latest experimental approaches for characterizing how antimicrobial lipids destabilize phospholipid membranes within the broader scope of introducing current knowledge about the biological activities of antimicrobial lipids, testing strategies, and applications for treating bacterial infections.

Caprylic acid is a straight-chain saturated fatty acid that is heptane in which one of the hydrogens of a terminal methyl group has been replaced by a carboxy group.
 

It can be found in milk of many mammals, a little bit in coconut oil and palm kernel oil. Two other acids are named after goats, caproic acid, C6H12O2 and capric acid.
