THORNE Undecyn - Undecylenic Acid (in The Form of Calcium Undecylenate) with Betaine HCL and Berberine - 120 Capsules

I’ve struggled with a combo of Candida and SIBO for the better part of a decade now. I’ve tried EVERYTHING, so I know when something is making a difference. I’ve been taking this for 3 days and already feel better than I have in years. I tried the other formula and didn’t see much improvement, I imagine that some people will respond better to one or the other. Greatly looking forward to seeing the effects after a couple of weeks of this, already ordering another bottle!

This is a top product I would recommend for those with severe candida issues.I am finding this to be a key player in working against a candida overgrowth I've had for at least 10 years. Highly recommend. I haven't worked up to the full dosage, seems high! I'd be interested in trying though.

This is the same product as SF722 - Undecylenic acid, but with 4 changes:1) the calcium salt of this active ingredient (which is proven more effective) is used instead.2) Berberine, an antifungal, antibacterial, is added. Apparently it does not harm beneficial bacteria. (??)3) Betaine HCL is added to make the environment more acidic - a necessary pre-requisite for the Undecylenic acid to work properly.4) it is no longer in an olive oil base. (Some say fatty acids work better with olive oil.)I admit I am a bit concerned about the Berberine possibly harming by good bacteria, but this product is a bit less expensive than taking SF722 and Betaine HCL, (which work great for my flu-like candida symptoms!) and I do like the time-release aspect of this product. I'm going to try Undecyn next when my bottle of SF722 runs out.From the Thorne website:"Undecyn combines the flora-enhancing qualities of undecylenic acid with betaine HCl and the broad-spectrum activity of berberine.*Fatty acids have been used for centuries to help maintain a healthy balance of the microorganisms that normally live in the gastrointestinal tract.* In the last 50 years, fatty acids have demonstrated their effectiveness in supporting a healthy gut flora in a number of trials and studies.* Calcium undecylenate (the calcium salt of the fatty acid undecylenic acid) has been shown to be four times more effective, milligram per milligram, than undecylenic acid and over 20 times more effective than the fatty acid caprylic acid, in supporting healthy vaginal and gastrointestinal flora.*Fatty acids bound to minerals such as calcium, however, are more sensitive to the acid/alkaline balance in the gastrointestinal tract. Betaine hydrochloric acid (HCl) in a time-release form is added to Undecyn to help maintain its full potency throughout the gastrointestinal tract.Berberine is known to be beneficial for helping to maintain a healty balance of normal bacteria in the intestines.* Berberine is a major alkaloid found in many plants including Berberis aristata (Indian barberry), Hydrastis canadensis (goldenseal), Coptis chinensis (Coptis or golden thread), Berberis aquifolium (Oregon grape), and Berberis vulgaris (barberry).Betaine Hydrochloride* 450 mg.Calcium Undecylenate** 450 mg.Berberine HCl (from Indian Barberry extract) (root) Berberis aristata) 150 mg.Other Ingredients: High and low viscosity hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and MagnesiumCitrateLaurate (Time-Sorb**), Hypromellose (derived from cellulose) capsule, Leucine, Silicon Dioxide.*Betaine Hydrochloride derived from a non-plant source.**Calcium Undecylenate complexed with Time-Sorb®, a time-release matrix.Berberis Concentrate Berberine HCl 85%Suggested Use: Take 3 capsules two to three times daily or as recommended by a health-care practitioner.Servings Per Container: 40"

Can anyone recommend a substitute for Undecyn now that it has been discontinued..Sf722 just doesnt seem to have the same effect as the Undecyn

This works great! If you have sugar cravings, eat too many carbs, have acid reflux, this is a great solution. At least it worked for me. I introduced it slowly, one pill twice daily increasing after a week. It seems that two pills twice daily are what benefit me.

I use this in combination with other supplements like grapefruit seed extract to eradicate candida. It has really treated my candida. It was developed to be long acting with the betaine to provide acidity in the colon. My stools are really foul when I use it...meaning that it works. Would not do a candida cleanse without it.

This is powerful stuff so you may want to start with a lower dose at first as it can be intense on the stomach. I personally was able to go up to 5 pills 3x a day pretty quickly, but if you have a reaction- just lower the dosage until you adjust. I trurt Thorne brands for purity.

My stomach feels so good when I take this product, I feel more awake too. I've been taking this product for years and think that it is amazing! I have a lot of food allergies and intestinal dysbiosis, and it makes me feel normal and great. The price is okay and the vendor got it to me in a timely fashion. I am very happy with this product.
