Undecylenic Acid
Maintaining a healthy balance of gut flora is a key component of overall health and wellbeing. Increasingly in women’s health, recognition is being given to the relationship between gut flora and vaginal flora; with a healthy balance of gut flora providing corresponding balance to the vaginal biome. By controlling yeast overgrowth, Thorne’s helps maintain a healthy balance of intestinal and vaginal flora, including normal levels of Candida albicans.
- Supports the establishment and balance of healthy gut and vaginal flora preventing fungal biofilms
- Supports optimal gastrointestinal tract functioning and a robust immune response
- Six times more effective than caprylic acid for fungal organism balance
- Provided in a base of pure, extra-virgin olive oil without any unnecessary fillers or artificial ingredients. How does it work?
When the body’s ‘master biome’ – the gut microbiome - is out of balance, biomes in other areas of the body can also become imbalanced, including the urogenital biome. Candida species is one such organism that is normally and naturally present in the body when the biomes are in balance, but when out of balance, this yeast can become opportunistically fungal in nature, leading to a variety of uncomfortable symptoms.
Many factors can contribute to an imbalance in the microbial balance of the body, such as highly refined, processed food diets, inadequate digestive enzymes, certain medications, alcohol use, to name a few. So, maintaining good gut ecology is a key component for balanced biomes throughout the body.
Thorne’s based on research going back 50 years that demonstrates the efficacy of fatty acids for supporting a healthy balance of fungal gut species. Undecylenic acid is six times more effective than caprylic acid derived from coconut at supporting a healthy balance of yeast and fungal species. It works to prevent biofilm formation that affords microbial species protection from our immune defences, disrupts fungi cell membranes, and interferes with fungal enzyme activity to prevent its proliferation.
