Can you tell me how much coconut oil to take for candida?

Answer by  cresandsuzanne (115)

When you have Candida you want to start with four tablespoons of coconut oil per day. When you see improvement, reduce to two tablespoons for three weeks.

That is an old wives tale. It is not a real remedy. For a case of candida (if you mean the vaginal infection candida albicans) ask your regular doctor or your gynecologist to prescribe the latest anti-fungal. I seem to remember that I only needed to take one single pill.

Because caprylic acid, a component of coconut oil, is absorbed in the intestines, taking 1,000 to 2,000 mg. of a time released, enteric coated supplement with each meal will be most effective for killing candida. When symptoms of candidiasis are alleviated by consistent daily usage, then treatment can be discontinued.
