100% Vegetarian Monolaurin capsules are intended to provide nutritional support for healthy immune function and healthy digestive system function. Monolaurin is derived from raw coconut, a natural source of the medium chain triglyceride lauric acid. These completely vegetarian capsules supply 990 mg of Monolaurin per serving.

Monolaurin is a glyceride ester derivative of lauric acid, a fatty acid found naturally in breast milk and certain vegetable oils. Lauric acid has been used as a germicidal agent for centuries. It was originally discovered when microbiologists studied human breast milk to determine the antiviral substances it contained which protected infants from microbial infections. In laboratory studies, Monolaurin has repeatedly shown exciting results as an anti-viral and anti-bacterial agent, and as a dietary supplement.

In studies performed at the Respiratory Virology Branch of the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia, Monolaurin was found effective against 14 human RNA and DNA enveloped viruses in cell culture. These included influenza, RSV, Rubeola, Newcastle's, Coronavirus, Herpes Simplex types 1 & 2, Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and cytomegalovirus. Monolaurin removed all measurable infectivity by disintegrating the virus envelope. In addition to antiviral effects, Monolaurin has shown to have antibacterial defenses against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus agalactiae, Groups A, F & G streptococci, Chlamydia, H. pylori, and against yeast and fungi as well, including Candida and ringworm.

Monolaurin is included on the GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) list.

Directions: Use only as directed. Take two vegetarian capsules daily with food or as directed by your health care practitioner. Keep out of sunlight. Store in a cool, dry place.
