What is monolaurin?

Monolaurin is a bioactive compound derived from lauric acid, a medium-chain fatty acid found in coconut oil, and is also naturally present in breast milk, where it plays an important role in immune support.* In its monolaurin form, lauric acid demonstrates greater immune-supporting activity than lauric acid alone.* Because only small amounts of monolaurin are formed from dietary lauric acid, supplementation may be helpful to support normal immune responses, gut health, and microbial balance.*

Monolaurin-Avail™

Key Performance Benefits*

  • Promotes healthy microbial environments
  • Promotes healthy inflammatory responses
  • Supports immune health

What This Product Is

Monolaurin-Avail™ is an encapsulated formula of monolaurin (as glycerol monolaurate) to support immune health and promote healthy microbial environments and inflammatory responses. This formula contains vitamin C for added immune support and sunflower lecithin to enhance the absorption of monolaurin.*

Coconut oil contains beneficial fats including medium-chain fatty acids. Among these is lauric acid, which in the form of monolaurin (one molecule of lauric acid joined to a glycerol molecule) helps support the body’s normal immune responses. Monolaurin is also found naturally in breast milk and is believed to be one of its main immune-supportive compounds. Monolaurin has demonstrated greater immune-supporting activity than lauric acid alone, but humans may only acquire small amounts from dietary lauric acid, making supplementation helpful for individuals seeking additional gut health or gut microbial balance support. A special attribute of monolaurin is that it has not been shown to negatively affect beneficial gut organisms essential for overall health.*

Mechanism of Action

Monolaurin for Microbial Balance*

Monolaurin (1 g as glycerol monolaurate per 2-capsule serving) supports healthy microbial environments through its immune-supporting properties derived from lauric acid. Unlike broad-spectrum approaches, monolaurin has not been shown to negatively affect the beneficial organisms in the gut that are essential for overall health.*

Enhanced Absorption with Sunflower Lecithin

Sunflower lecithin, a natural source of phosphatidylcholine found in cell membranes, enhances the absorption of monolaurin. Lecithin is easily absorbed and integrated into the body’s cells, helping monolaurin be more readily transported and available for immune support.*

Vitamin C for Immune Synergy

170 mg of vitamin C (as ascorbic acid) per serving provides complementary immune support, working alongside monolaurin to promote comprehensive immune health and healthy inflammatory responses.*

Athletic Applications

  • Individuals seeking immune health support through monolaurin supplementation*
  • Those wanting to promote healthy microbial environments in the gut*
  • Individuals looking for inflammatory response support*
  • Those who want immune support that does not negatively affect beneficial gut bacteria*
  • Individuals seeking enhanced monolaurin absorption through lecithin delivery

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Monolaurin-Avail compare to other immune support products like Immunitone Plus?

Monolaurin-Avail™ provides targeted immune support through monolaurin (from coconut-derived lauric acid) with vitamin C, specifically supporting healthy microbial environments while preserving beneficial gut bacteria. Immunitone Plus is a comprehensive herbal immune formula with multiple botanicals for broad immune activation. Choose Monolaurin-Avail™ for targeted microbial balance and gut-friendly immune support, or Immunitone Plus for broad-spectrum herbal immune activation.*

Why is sunflower lecithin included in the formula?

Monolaurin benefits from enhanced absorption when combined with lecithin, a natural fatty acid source of phosphatidylcholine. Sunflower lecithin helps monolaurin be more easily transported and made available to the body, improving the formula’s effectiveness while keeping the product soy-free.

Who may benefit most from Monolaurin-Avail?

Individuals seeking immune health support through monolaurin supplementation, those wanting to promote healthy microbial environments while preserving beneficial gut bacteria, people looking for inflammatory response support, and anyone who may not acquire sufficient monolaurin from dietary lauric acid alone.*
