Lauricidin is a naturally occurring lipid (fat) that has been purified from coconut oil so as to increase the therapeutic benefits. This monoglyceride, called monolaurin, appears to disrupt the outer coating of pathogenic organisms, such as, bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Monolaurin is naturally found in breast milk and may be considered nature’s first antibiotic!

What Is Lauricidin Used For?

Known as the original monolaurin supplement, discovered by Dr. Jon Kabara, Lauricidin has been used by health care practitioners for its potent anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal benefits. Lauricidin appears to offer unique benefits over conventional antibiotics due to:

1. Broad-spectrum effects – It appears to be effective against many different strains of bacteria, fungi, and even viral infections.
2. Fewer Side-Effects – Generally, Lauricidin is well tolerated, with no serious side effects reported.
3. Considered Non-Toxic and safe
4. Inexpensive in comparison to many conventional antibiotics
5. Does not interact with most medications

Lauricidin Side Effects

You may be wondering, “What is Lauricidin ‘s safety record?” Lauricidin, which contains monolaurin, is so safe that the FDA considers it GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe), which places Lauricidin on the FDA’s list of non-toxic substances.

What Is Lauricidin Detox?

Even though Lauricidin is considered non-toxic and most people tolerate the lauricidin quite well, you can occasionally develop a reaction called a “die-off effect”. A die-off effect, also called a Herxheimer Reaction, occurs when yeast and other pathogens are being killed by the monolaurin. As these bacteria, yeast, and/or viruses die, they can release toxins into the body that may result in flu-like, acne-like, allergy-like symptoms, such as: fever, muscle pain, fatigue, headache, skin erruptions, etc. Although these die-off side effects can be felt by some, even at low doses, these symptoms can be improved by starting with a low dose of Lauricidin and slowly increasing the dose of lauricidin over weeks to months. This allows the body time to acclimate and detox. Many patients have also found that drinking plenty of water while supplementing with lauricidin also decreases the severity of the die-off effect.

The Lauricidin Detox Reaction is normally self-limiting and will improve over time, however, if the symptoms become overwhelming, simply give the body a break and then restart at a much lower dose.

What is the Best Way to Use Lauricidin?

Lauricidin comes in a jar full of pearls/pellets that are taken via a provided scoop.

Using the scoop, you can dose in very small amounts and slowly increase the dose as you determine how well you tolerate it. Adults will usually start with ¼ of a scoop or less two to three times daily and can slowly increase the dose up to 1 full scoop three times daily. For stubborn infections, some health care providers will further increase the dose until benefits are noted. Don’t be afraid to start with a few pellets and work the dose up as you get some personal experience with it.

Children, 3-10 years of age, can start with 1-3 pellets (NOT SCOOPS) for a few days before gradually increasing the dose. After this initial trial, you can increase to 1-3 pellets twice daily and then thrice daily over a couple of weeks.

Do’s & Don’ts of Lauricidin Use

1. Never chew Lauricidin Tablets
2. Drink cold liquids when taking Lauricidin pellets as hot liquids will melt them prematurely.
3. Dose according to your response, some will need more and some will need less than the recommendations provided above
