HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Monolaurin 1000 mg by Double Wood Supplements
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: monolaurin, a fatty acid compound derived from lauric acid (which naturally occurs in coconut oil and breast milk). Each capsule delivers 1,000 mg.
The capsules themselves are made from hypromellose and rice flour, which are inactive ingredients used as the capsule shell and filler.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence on monolaurin for bacterial vaginosis is insufficient — we don't have reliable data yet to say whether it works for that purpose. If you're considering it for a specific health concern, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist to see what the current research says and whether it might fit your situation.
How safe is it?
Some data gaps
Monolaurin is often well tolerated in the amounts found in food, but its safety as a supplement hasn't been thoroughly studied in humans, so we don't know the full picture yet. The safety data during pregnancy advises against use — there isn't enough information to know it's safe.
While lauric acid occurs naturally in breast milk, the safety of monolaurin supplements while breastfeeding is unknown; use caution and ask your doctor before taking it if you're nursing.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for monolaurin. That doesn't mean none exist, so if you take any prescription medications, run them through the search tool on this page or confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before you start.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and some safety-information gaps remain.
Monolaurin is generally well tolerated at food-level doses, but supplement-strength safety hasn't been well studied in people. If you're pregnant, the data suggests avoiding it.
If you're breastfeeding or have any health conditions or take medications, check with your own doctor or pharmacist first — they can weigh whether it's right for you.

Formula
Directions: Monolaurin is a supplement derived from lauric acid and glycerin, and is a byproduct of coconut fat. Lauric acid is one of the compounds found in high amounts in coconut oil and is converted by the body into Monolaurin. This process is inefficient so a large amount of of coconut oil would need to be ingested to get an adequate dosage of Monolaurin. Monolaurin is commonly used for its ability to support digestive and immune system health.
