Accreditations
Antibacterial. Monolaurin is a surfactant, reducing the surface tension of objects. These properties allow it to disintegrate the bacteria’s microbial membrane, which may help neutralize it.
Antifungal. Antifungals prevent fungi growth, which includes yeast, ringworm, mold, and candida. Monolaurin has been shown to be a potential antifungal treatment, killing or neutralizing various types of fungi in preliminary studies.
Antiviral. Monolaurin may inhibit several fat-coated viruses that affects both animals and humans, such as the swine flu, measles, common cold, herpes simplex 1 and on 2, shingles, and influenza (the flu). Fat-coated viruses can live in the body for years and have a negative impact on health. Monolaurin is believed to penetrate the fat coatings of viruses and either weaken or kill them altogether.
