DOUBLE WOOD Monolaurin Monolaurin for the immune system x 210 caps
Monolaurin of the American company Double Wood Supplements is a nutritional supplement that supports the normal functioning of the immune system. Monolaurin is a chemical, a mixture of lauric acid and glycerin. It is often produced as a by-product derived from coconut oil. For the past two decades, scientists have been investigating the possible applications of monolaurin in medicine, disinfection and food preservation. Antibiotic resistance is a worldwide problem. A large number of common bacteria are now resistant to the healing effect of traditional antibiotics. The researchers hope that one day monolaurin can be used to create a new type of antibiotic or antiviral drug that is effective against a wide range of microorganisms. Monolaurin can be taken daily as a dietary supplement. Coconut oil and some coconut products contain approximately 50% lauric acid. Monolaurin is many times more effective than lauric acid in destroying viruses and pathogenic bacteria.
Health benefits
1. Antibacterial properties
Monolaurin shows antibacterial effects against a number of bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus.
2. Antifungal benefits
Both monolaurin and coconut oil, which contains lauric acid, are best known for their antifungal effects.
Candida albicans is a common fungal pathogen that lives in the intestines, mouth, genitals, urinary tract and skin. Infection can be life-threatening in immunocompromised people. Monolaurin has potential as an antifungal treatment for Candida albicans while also reducing inflammation in the body.
3. Antiviral effect
Monolaurin has great potential as a prophylactic against some viruses. Research shows that monolaurin inhibits lipid-coated viruses that affect humans and animals, including:
HIV
Measles
Herpes simplex
Vesicular stomatitis
Cytomegalovirus
Epstein-Barr virus
Medi-Visna
Flu
