One of the medium-chain fatty acid containing eight carbon atoms, is found in the triglycerides of butter, coconut oil, milk, palm, hemp, coconut and human fat. It is also one of the fatty acids found in the oil derived from saw palmetto berries, the popular men's remedy for benign prostate enlargement. A 1995 study also suggested that Caprylic Acid affects bodily mechanisms involved in reducing blood pressure.
