Ecological Formulas Monolaurin 600 mg — 90 Capsules

Description

Description
Monolaurin
(Lauricidin) is a patented
ester of lauric acid, which is a fatty acid found in breast milk.
Monolaurin contains the monoester of the fatty acid lauric acid. It is
extracted from coconut oil.  This is a great immune booster.  Also used
for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Naturally found in breast milk. It is also available in laurisine and
viricidin.

A
common problem facing primary car physicians is patients with
persistent intense fatigue, flu-like symptoms and depression. 
Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) is strongly implicated in these cases, though
it is often difficult to positively diagnose.  Up to 80% of all humans
are infected by EBV by age 40, and it may manifest as either
asymptotic, a chronic low-grade infection, full blown illness or
recurring illness.  Monolaurin, an anti-viral and anti-microbial agent,
has demonstrable activity against EBV and cytomegalovirus.  It acts 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 directly
disintegrates the viral envelope, killing the virus.  Monolaurin is a
glyceride ester derivative of lauric acid, which is an antiviral
substance present in human breast milk.  Monolaurin was found to have
even greater viral activity than lauric acid.  Monolauriin is currently
used as a GRAS food emulsifier and is considered essentially non-toxic
even relatively high doses.
