@bayhorse, I added your question to the Infectious Diseases group (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/infectious-disease/) as well. Fellow members @jeff49 and @mrmie may have experience with monolaurin to share.

"People take monolaurin supplements to encourage immune health and general wellness, but there’s little scientific data to back up these claims. Studies have investigated the antimicrobial effects of coconut oil, lauric acid, and monolaurin, but most of these studies have been conducted in test tubes and petri dishes (in vitro).

Its antimicrobial properties have been clearly established, but more research is needed to test the effects of monolaurin on living subjects." Read more https://www.healthline.com/health/monolaurin

Did your doctor suggest monolaurin for you?
