Monolaurin is a well-absorbed form of lauric acid – a fatty acid that helps to defend against many types of viral infection.
Monolaurin is an antimicrobial sourced from coconut oil that protects the immune system from a range of infectious agents such as bacteria and parasites. It has been used as a germicidal agent for centuries and occurs naturally in certain vegetable oils and breast milk.
As a dietary supplement, monolaurin has demonstrated results as an antiviral and anti-bacterial agent and may assist a faster recovery from infection.
