  1. Antimicrobial Activity: Monolaurin exhibits antimicrobial properties against a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It works by disrupting the lipid membranes of pathogens, leading to their destruction or inhibition of growth. Monolaurin has been shown to be effective against various bacterial strains, including Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Helicobacter pylori. Additionally, monolaurin has demonstrated antiviral activity against enveloped viruses such as herpes simplex virus (HSV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

  2. Immune Support: Monolaurin may support immune function by enhancing the body's natural defense mechanisms against infections. By inhibiting the growth of pathogenic microorganisms, monolaurin can help prevent infections and reduce the burden on the immune system. Additionally, monolaurin has been shown to stimulate the activity of certain immune cells, such as macrophages and natural killer (NK) cells, which play key roles in identifying and eliminating pathogens.

  3. Skin Health: Monolaurin may have beneficial effects on skin health and dermatological conditions. It has been studied for its potential use in treating acne, as it exhibits antimicrobial activity against Propionibacterium acnes, the bacterium implicated in acne development. Additionally, monolaurin's antimicrobial properties may help prevent skin infections and promote wound healing by reducing bacterial colonization and inflammation.

  4. Gastrointestinal Health: Monolaurin may contribute to gastrointestinal health by inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria in the gut. Dysbiosis, or imbalance in the gut microbiota, has been associated with various gastrointestinal disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). Monolaurin's antimicrobial activity against harmful bacteria may help restore microbial balance in the gut and alleviate symptoms associated with dysbiosis.

  5. Antioxidant Properties: Some studies suggest that monolaurin may possess antioxidant properties, which could help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in the body. By scavenging free radicals and inhibiting oxidative damage to cells and tissues, monolaurin may offer protective effects against chronic diseases associated with oxidative stress, such as cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer.

Impacted of 2,3-dihydroxypropyl dodecanoate {Monolaurin} On Probiotics

Bacteria Impacted by 2,3-dihydroxypropyl dodecanoate {Monolaurin}

We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.

Impact of 2,3-dihydroxypropyl dodecanoate {Monolaurin} on Conditions from US National Library of Medicine

A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.

We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive   X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.

Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
