Monolaurin contains the monoester of the fatty acid lauric acid.

Contains no corn, yeast, wheat, liver, citrus, or other common food or chemical allergens. Manufacturing methods incorporate special delayed release properties

Suggested Use:

For those who feel as if they are coming down with a viral infection, doctors often recommend taking six capsules on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning, and for more severe cases, six more at night. (If you have a sensitive stomach, Monolaurin can be taken with food.) The dose can be tapered off as symptoms decrease.

Young children can also take Monolaurin at a reduced dose. If you are giving Monolaurin to children (or adults) who have difficulty swallowing capsules, you can break them open and sprinkle the Monolaurin into something such as applesauce or yogurt.

Some physicians recommend a maintenance dose of two capsules daily for Epstein-Bar Virus, Herpes 1 & 2, or other chronic viral condition. Of course, you should always seek the advice of a physician if you have fever, pain or if symptoms persist.

To treat herpes virus, some physicians recommend taking 6 capsules of Monolaurin when there is a flare-up and 2 capsules as a maintenance dose during dormant periods. Sometimes the herpes virus can be activated by Monolaurin and then killed, resulting in a Herxheimer-like reaction..

Similar protocols have been used with the Epstein-Barr virus (closely resembling the herpes virus), which may be responsible for Chronic Fatigue and even MS (16, 17).

What is Monolaurin?
Monolaurin is an anti-microbial agent that protects the immune system from a range of infectious agents. Monolaurin is a glyceride ester derivative of lauric acid, a fatty acid found naturally in breast milk and certain vegetable oils.  This fatty acid has been used as a germicidal agent for centuries.  Lauric acid was originally discovered when microbiologists studied human breast milk to determine the antiviral substances which protected infants from microbial infections. 

How does Monolaurin work?
Monolaurin works by destroying lipid-coated viruses and various pathogenic bacteria and protozoa.

Monolaurin works by binding to the lipid-protein envelope of the virus, thereby preventing it from attaching and entering host cells, making infection and replication impossible.  Other studies show that Monolaurin disintegrates the viral envelope, killing the virus.
 Monolaurin is not the type of nutritional supplement you have to take on a daily basis (although many people take it regularly for prevention purposes), but only when the need arises.
