Product Description
Race season means hotel breakfasts, gas station snacks, and antibiotics if you get sick along the way. All of that can throw off the microbial balance in your gut, and a probiotic alone doesn't always address what's crowding out the good bacteria in the first place.
Pure Encapsulations A.C. Formula II combines caprylic acid, undecylenic acid, grapefruit seed extract, and berberine sulfate in one formula to support a healthy microbial environment in your gut.
Supports the Environment Your Gut Bacteria Live In – Caprylic acid and undecylenic acid are fatty acids that help maintain conditions in the colon and intestinal tract that favor beneficial microflora.
Two Different Angles on Gut Health – This formula supports the gut environment itself, which complements rather than duplicates a probiotic's job of adding beneficial bacteria
Fits Before Meals, With Water – Taken just before meals with 6-8 oz of water, so it's simple to build into a normal eating schedule.
Caprylic acid, derived from palm oil, and undecylenic acid, derived from castor bean, are fatty acids that help create conditions favorable to beneficial gut microflora. Calcium and magnesium act as buffers that help slow the release of these fatty acids so they stay active longer through the GI tract. Grapefruit seed extract, standardized to 40% flavones and flavonones, and berberine sulfate round out the formula to support microbial balance broadly.
How to Use A.C. Formula II
Dose: Take 2 capsules, 1-3 times daily, just before meals, with 6-8 oz of water.
Timing: Space doses ahead of meals rather than after, since that's how these ingredients are intended to work through the GI tract.
Note: Not for use by pregnant or lactating women.

Pure Encapsulations A.C. Formula ll FAQ's
Everything you need to know about Pure Encapsulations A.C. Formula ll.
A probiotic adds beneficial bacteria; A.C. Formula II works on the environment those bacteria live in. The two jobs complement each other rather than overlap, which is why this isn't meant to replace a probiotic.
Take it just before meals with 6-8 oz of water, not after. The ingredients are timed to work through your GI tract ahead of digestion, so dosing after eating misses the window.
Yes — that's the intended use case. A.C. Formula II supports the gut environment while a probiotic adds bacteria to it, so stacking them covers both sides instead of duplicating one.
That's exactly the scenario it's built for — hotel food, inconsistent meals, and antibiotics if you get sick on the road all disrupt gut microbial balance. This targets that disruption directly rather than just adding more bacteria on top of it.
That's the main use case — disrupted eating schedules, unfamiliar food, and antibiotics on the road all throw off your gut's microbial balance, and this targets that directly rather than just adding more bacteria on top of it. Most people build it into their routine a few days before travel and keep it going through the trip.
