BonusanThymocapryl

Caprylic acid is a saturated fatty acid that naturally occurs in, among other things, coconut oil and palm oil. In supplements, it is often bound to minerals such as calcium or magnesium to improve absorption and stability.

Thymol is a component of the essential oil of thyme. It is naturally present in the leaves of Thymus vulgaris and is often standardized in thyme extracts to ensure consistency in composition.

Caprylic acid naturally occurs in coconut oil, palm oil, and to a limited extent in animal fats and milk fat. In supplement form, a standardized form such as calcium caprylate or magnesium caprylate is often chosen.

Standardized thyme extract means that a specific level of active ingredients—in this case thymol—is ensured in each batch. This provides consistent composition and dosage per capsule.

Thymocapryl contains fatty acids like caprylic acid, which are better absorbed when taken with food, especially if the food contains some fat. Taking it with a meal also ensures gradual processing in the digestive system, which users often find more pleasant.

Saturated fatty acids have a straight structure and are mainly found in animal fats, coconut oil, and palm oil. Unsaturated fatty acids contain double bonds in their structure, making them usually liquid at room temperature. They are mainly found in plant oils, nuts, seeds, and oily fish. Both types of fatty acids are present in food, each with its own properties and applications.
