Topic: killing probiotics with caprylic acid?

Hi All,

I know timing is everything . . .

so I was wondering if maybe it isn't such a good idea to take the Caprylic Acid or other yeast killers at the same time as the Probiotics.

I am just wondering if the Caprylic Acid, Oil of Oregano and Grape Seed Extract actually kill the Probiotics if taken at the same time.

Any help appreciated.

I have taken caprylic acid with the acidiphilous for years. Seems to work.

It's probably OK. I know you can take Diflucan and Nystatin at the same time. It must only kill the "bad" yeast.

Maybe there's more info here:

I agree that this sounds okay and I do it as well. The anti-fungals should not impact the probiotic UNLESS you are taking Florastor in which case they will be killed by the caprylic.

Be well,

The caprylic acid shouldn't be a problem, but the oregano and grapefruit seed extract are antibacterial as well as antifungal, so those two will kill the good bacteria. [Cool]

You're only a failure when you stop trying.

Thanks for the help.

I've been taking caprin at the same time as my probiotics.
From the posts it sounds like this regime should be okay.

I was considering taking grape seed extract or oil of oregano in the near future. Since these shouldn't be taken with the probiotics, am I correct in assuming you can take them with the antibiotics?

Also, does anyone know when olive leaf extract should be taken?

Thanks again,
Judy
