10 Benefits of MCT Oil
MCT Oil Benefit #5: Prevents Candida Overgrowth
Candida is a disease caused by an excessive and uncontrolled growth of yeast in the stomach. Capric acid, which is found in some varieties of MCT oil, has been shown to kill the very dangerous, pathogenic yeast Candida albicans.
Candida yeast infection can decrease gastric acid, which causes inflammation. In addition to fighting the yeast, MCT oil provides relief from the inflammation caused by candida. Unlike other treatments for candida that initially cause a flare up of symptoms, the effect of MCT oil treatment is gradual, giving the patient time to adjust to the withdrawal symptoms.
