HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Monolaurin 500 mg by Solaray
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 compound derived from lauric acid. The capsule also contains inactive ingredients (cellulose, magnesium stearate, and silica) that serve as fillers and binders to hold the supplement together.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence for monolaurin isn't established yet. The data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for bacterial vaginosis, which is the condition it's typically marketed for.
That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means the research just isn't there yet to say either way.
How safe is it?
Some data gaps
Monolaurin is often well tolerated in the amounts you'd get from food, but its safety as a supplement in humans hasn't been well studied. If you're pregnant, the safety data advises against it — there isn't enough evidence to know it's safe.
If you're breastfeeding, lauric acid does occur naturally in breast milk, but we don't know enough about supplement safety during nursing, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented for monolaurin in our data. That said, run your medications through the checker on this page to be sure — we want to catch anything we might've missed.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. No medication interactions are currently documented, and some safety-information gaps remain.
Monolaurin is a single-ingredient supplement with no known drug interactions. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your doctor first.
Since the evidence for what it's marketed for isn't established yet, be clear on what you're hoping it will do.
