Lauricidin® FAQ - Get the Facts!

Exactly what is Lauricidin®?
Lauricidin® is the trade name for the original monolaurin discovered by Dr. Jon J. Kabara. Highly purified monolaurin is now commercially available as Lauricidin® due to high tech molecular distillation. This pure pelletized monoglyceride is different from monolaurin capsules in that it contains no fillers, or excipients.
Why doesnt Lauricidin® come in capsules?
* The pelletized microform is easier to take orally and proper concentration levels can be better achieved. One blue scoop (tsp.) is equivalent to 10 capsules. Health levels may be 1-3 scoops/day depending on prior health problems.
What is the difference between Lauricidin® and Lauric Acid?
Lauricidin® is an ester (combination of an acid and glycerol) while lauric acid is a C12 fatty acid. Lauric acid is NOT an amino acid
Are there any side effects when taking Lauricidin®?
Lauricidin®, the supplement, is entirely nontoxic. If starting levels are too high, a patient may become worse following the administration of Lauricidin® or other form of treatment that kills the causative organism. This may well be an explanation for what has become known as the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction.a>
Do you sell Lauricidin® to Health food stores?
We do not sell to Health Food Stores nor do we sell to other supplement vendors.This policy was instituted so that proper information is given to users of Lauricidin®.Our objective is to provide the correct information and service in a timely manner.
How long will it take to see results?
Lauricidin® like vitamins does not have an instant effect on your health. Although we have seen results in weeks Lauricidin® should be taken 3-6 months before seeing optimum results. Because everyones genetic makeup is completely different individual time response will very.
How long does a jar last?
It depends on your dosing schedule (provided with your order). One jar for an adult will normally last 4-6 weeks. The shelf life under ordinary conditions is more than three years. When kept at room temperature, samples kept in the laboratory over a period of 10 years have been shown to be stable.
Can Lauricidin® be taken with other medications or supplements?
Yes! Normally this is true but not all interactions can be predicted. Best to consult with your health professional.
Does Lauricidin® kill friendly bacteria?
Lauricidin® to the best of our knowledge DOES NOT affect friendly bacteria. Probiotics however should routinely be taken.
What is a "Herxheimer" or "die-off" reaction?
By killing off microorganisms, there is a release of toxic by-products. This release causes flu-like symptoms. This can include fever, irritability, body ache and pain. By lowering the Lauricidin® level for a week or so, this effect can be better managed
Do you have to use a particular monolaurin?
Yes! Lauricidin® was developed from Prof. Dr. Jon J. Kabara's research and other studies which have been ongoing since 1966. Only Lauricidin® (monolaurin) has been clinically tested and continues to be used by clinicians, health professionals and their patients. In order to make monolaurin available to more people Med-Chem Labs. now sells Lauricidin® at 800% LESS than the usual price now available from other sources.
Can Lauricidin® be used when pregnant?
While Lauricidin® is nontoxic, it cannot be recommended to be taken under these circumstances. Studies have not been carried out for these conditions. You are always advised before taking any supplement to consult with your health professional when pregnant or breast-feeding.
How does Lauricidin® differ from Lauric Acid?
Lauricidin® is a combination of lauric acid and glycerol combined into a single non-toxic non-irritating product. Lauric acid alone is corrosive while monolaurin is an emollient (has moisturizing characteristics) and is totally non-toxic or irritating to the skin.
Is lauric acid/monolaurin the same as coconut oil (CNO)?
NO! Pure lauric acid cannot be ingested because it is severely irritating. When lauric acid is chemically bound to glycerol to form monolaurin (trade name Lauricidin®), there are no irritation or gastointestinal problems. In addition, Lauricidin® is more highly germicidal than lauric acid. Virgin CNO has no germicidal qualities.
Is Lauricidin® safe for pets?
Yes Lauricidin® is safe for pets but should be given at much lower levels.
How long should/can I take the product just when symptomatic or for awhile to kill the virus?
Antiviral drugs are not a cure for genital herpes. Lauricidin is a suppressive agent. A dietary supplement like Lauricidin® should be taken for at least six months or more before reducing or eliminating the supplement. Bottom line is, for good health, it needs to be taken like vitamins not just when youre symptomatic.
To inactivate herpes virus how long would I need to continue to take Lauricidin®?
The length of time for taking the supplement is an individual response. Since even drugs DO NOT cure viral problems, the supplement needs to be taken on a continuing basis for better health much like vitamins.
Could the monolaurin increase thyroid function or output of adrenaline?
It is possible that it could affect the thyroid indirectly and may explain the increase in energy. Whether the adrenals are affected is not known at this time.
Is monolaurin in capsules the same as Lauricidin® pellets?
NO! The usual 300 mg capsule contains in addition to 300mg monolaurin, a base of inosine 7.5 mg and calcium-phosphate 106 mg with inert ingredients: dicalcium-phosphate, cellulose-powder and silicon-dioxide. Lauricidin®, on the other hand, is the purest monolaurin commercially attainable and is without any fillers or allergens.
