What is Monolaurin?
- Monolaurin is derived from lauric acid which is found naturally in coconut oil and human breast milk
- Monolaurin has been researched for its potential to inactivate certain viruses, bacteria, yeast, and other microbes in vitro (in the lab) and in vivo (in the body)
- Monolaurin can be taken as a dietary supplement in various forms and has been classified by the FDA as “Generally Recognized as Safe” (GRAS)

Monoluarin Dosage Guide
A note on the Herxheimer (Herx) Reaction, or "Die Off" symptoms:
The Herxheimer Reaction occurs when bacteria, viruses, or fungi begin to die off and release their endotoxins and lipoproteins into the body faster than they can be removed. It can cause a sickness that is ironically similar to the flu, including body aches, headaches and sluggishness. This feeling is temporary, and it has been suggested the reaction might be avoided by a slow introduction of a medication or supplement to your system. This does not suggest monolaurin will cause a Herxheimer reaction.
For those new to monolaurin (or supplements in general) and looking to avoid "die off" symptoms as described above, a slow introduction and buildup of the supplement can help your body acclimate to the supplement and allow time to remove any dead microbe waste. Below is an example of how to begin with low doses of monolaurin and slowly build up to a higher dose over time.
