info on CapROL

[Guest guest]

Caprol is what I mix with bentonite and psyllium (seeds & husks - important mix)....

There has been some discussion over time on this list about 'caprylic acid' which is NOT the same as CAPROL... here's some info on CAPROL:

Caprol is very different from caprylic acid in capsule or tablet form. The following was previously posted about the action of Caprol:According to " Conquering Yeast.... " by Colet Lahoz: " Caprylic acid is a substance that is normally quite rapidly absorbed into the intestinal tract and routed directly to the liver. There it is quickly metabolized and does not succeed at entering the general circulation. Just ten minutes after the oral intake of straight caprylic acid, more than 90% can be traced in the portal vein on its way to the liver. For this reason, the quite powerful caprylic acid has little anti-Candida albicans effect, both intestinally and systemically. This fact, however is significantly altered if its absorption can be somehow slowed, allowing it to remain in the intestine for a longer period of time in order to complete its fungicidal mission. In this program, caprylic acid acquires its needed sustained-release properties from a gel, formed by the mixture of Caprol, psyllium and bentonite and water. This thick gel traps the caprylic acid and slows its transit through the colon. Uncontrolled surges of caprylic acid into the liver are the most probable cause of adverse reactions to caprylic acid: however, while in this gelled state, caprylic acid does not escape into the liver. It is no surprise, then, that no adverse reactions to this gelled form of caprylic acid have been reported, even among individuals who previously reacted to other caprylic acid products. Traditional Caprylic acid preparations exist as capsules or tablets, but the preference is the liquid form. This mixing causes the caprylic acid to interact with the olive oil, thereby amplifying its fungicidal effects far beyond what caprylic acid has traditionally offered. " Hope this helps!
