CAPRYLIMUNE
Caprylimune is formulated to fight Candida Albicans and relieve the symptoms
associated with Candida yeast overgrowth. Caprylimune also provides vitamins,
minerals, and herbs which stimulate immune function, as candidiasis typically
reduces immunity.
Caprylimune contains no sugar, wheat or yeast.

Caprylic acid helps maintain the delicate balance of intestinal flora in
the colon, keeping levels of Candida yeast in check. Caprylic acid is a natural
fatty acid known to have an antifungal action against Candida Albicans. Caprylic
acid is quickly absorbed in the intestines; therefore, timed-release or
enteric-coated formulas are typically preferred, as they enable the contents to
be gradually released throughout the intestinal tract.
Pau d'Arco is recommended by medical doctors in Brazil for its antifungal
properties against ringworm, systemic Candida Albicans yeast infections, and
other intestinal parasite infestations. Pau d'arco is rich in lapachol, an
immuno-stimulant compound, which is responsible for much of the herb's
antibiotic properties.
Garlic has been proven by scientists to be a potent antibiotic and immune
system stimulant, capable of fighting infection and destroying parasites, worms,
and other microorganisms. Garlic contains allicin, the odor-causing agent, and
allyl sulfide, both of which are responsible for the herb's worm-killing
ability. Hookworms, pinworms, roundworms and tapeworms all perish in the
presence of garlic, and some external applications use garlic for treating
ringworm. Dr. Trowbridge, author of The Yeast Syndrome, writes in his book about
a University of Massachusetts study which showed that garlic, either in whole
clove form or in extract form, helps fight yeast infections. Garlic has also
been shown to be more effective against Candida Albicans than nystatin, gentian
violet and six other leading antifungal preparations, in both animal and in
vitro studies.
Goldenseal contains berberine, an isoquinoline alkaloid, which has been
studied at length in both clinical and experimental environments for its
antibacterial and amebicidal properties. Berberine has been shown to have a vast
array of antibiotic effects, including activity against bacteria, protozoa, and
fungi, including Candida Albicans. In fact, berberine's antibiotic effect
against some of these pathogens has been shown to be stronger than that of many
commonly-used prescription antibiotics. Furthermore, berberine possesses the
ability to prevent bacteria and yeast overgrowth, a common side effect of
pharmaceutical antibiotics. Berberine is extremely effective against diarrhea
which is often found in cases of chronic candidiasis.
Yucca exhibits antibacterial and antifungal qualities and helps balance
intestinal flora.
Lemon grass has been shown to provide strong antibacterial properties in
vitro against various microorganisms. Lemon grass can be used externally as an
antifungal against athlete's foot, and to kill lice and scabies. In India, lemon
grass is applied topically on ringworm.
Rose hips are the dried fruit of roses which contain many vitamins and
minerals, but are especially high in vitamin C and bioflavonoids. Rose hips
actually contain anywhere from 10-100 times more vitamin C than any other food.
Rose hips are a source of astringent tannins which make them beneficial as a
tonic and astringent, capable of tightening tissues and slowing the discharge of
blood and mucosal fluid. Thus, rose hips are often used for diarrhea, gastritis,
hemorrhoids, and varicose veins. Rose hips' rich supply of bioflavonoids protect
capillaries, help prevent bruising, strengthen connective tissues, and multiply
the effectiveness of vitamin C. In fact, vitamin C cannot work accurately
without bioflavonoids. Rose hips also help stimulate immune function and fight
infection and inflammation, useful for treating colds, fevers, general debility,
and inflammatory skin conditions.
Hesperidin is a citrus bioflavonoid obtained from oranges. Citrus
bioflavonoids are obtained from various citrus fruit and possess potent
anti-allergy, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral properties. Bioflavonoids also
increase the effectiveness of vitamin C. —Herb Allure
