Overview

The supplement provides two ingredients with distinct roles in immune support. L-Lysine is an essential amino acid with a well-established safety profile, but its highly publicized antiviral effects, particularly against herpes simplex, are not strongly supported by high-quality clinical evidence. Monolaurin shows promising antimicrobial activity against various pathogens, and some studies suggest it may help reduce the risk of certain viral infections. However, the overall research maturity for monolaurin's broad efficacy is still developing, and general immune support claims require more robust evidence for this specific combination and dosage.

The Good

Generally safe ingredients with low risk of significant side effects.

Formula is free of artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, non-GMO, gluten-free, and vegan-friendly.

L-Lysine supports essential protein synthesis and nitrogen balance.

The Bad

L-Lysine's efficacy for popular antiviral uses (e.g., herpes) is not well-supported by strong evidence at the provided dosage.

Dosage of Monolaurin (600 mg) may be lower than typically studied or recommended for significant impact, as many studies use 500-2000 mg two to three times daily.

Lack of specific clinical trials for this combination and dosage for overall immune support.

Is it for you?

Best For: L-Lysine is very safe, with no serious adverse effects reported at dosages up to 6,000 mg/day., Monolaurin is generally safe, but long-term and comprehensive safety data are less established.

Skip If: You're on blood thinners or have food allergies
