Candistat 90 Tablets

Amni Candistat, provided by Douglas Laboratories, is a

well-tolerated, natural dietary supplement of controlled-release

caprylic acid (octanoic acid) complex, Pau D’Arco herb, and

other synergistic ingredients. Each tablet provides 93 mg of a

calcium-magnesium caprylate complex, equivalent to 70 mg of

caprylic acid. Potassium-buffered sorbic acid is added as a

natural stabilizer. Candistat is free of yeast, corn, wheat,

sugars, and artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.

In healthy people, the intestinal microflora consists of

balanced amounts of symbiotic microorganisms, providing

nutritional benefits to the host. This balance depends on our

dietary habits and can easily be disturbed by unhealthy diets

or drugs, such as antibiotics and oral contraceptives. Under

these conditions, opportunistic pathogenic microorganisms,

such as the fungus Candida albicans, can colonize the small

and large intestine.

Caprylic acid, commonly found in foods (coconut oil, milk

fat, etc.), is a natural dietary fatty acid which helps maintain

a normal intestinal microflora. Studies show that dietary

caprylic acid helps inhibit the growth of Candida albicans

and other opportunistic fungi in both the small and large

intestine. At the same time, caprylic acid does not adversely

affect the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria.

Candistat provides caprylic acid as a calcium-magnesiumcaprylate

complex. This complex is well tolerated and

provides for controlled release of caprylic acid throughout

the small and large intestine. As synergistic herbal

ingredients, pure Pau D’Arco (Taheebo) from Argentina is

added in a base of horseradish and clove concentrates.

Candistat tablets may be a useful dietary supplement for those

who wish to support a normal microecology of the intestinal

microflora. Candistat is especially appropriate for individuals

who can not tolerate higher levels of caprylate complex.
