Monolaurin Effect
1. Improving disease resistance: Helping the body resist more effectively many common harmful bacteria and enveloped viruses.
2. Improve intestinal health: effectively regulate the intestinal microecological environment and enhance intestinal mucosal barrier function.
3. Promote growth: GML is an excellent emulsifier, which can effectively emulsify oils and fats, improve the utilization efficiency of dietary oils and fats, and improve the growth performance and health status of animals.
Mechanism of Monolaurin
Antibacterial Mechanism
GML easily passes through most of the cell walls of G+ bacteria (mainly composed of peptidoglycan) and some cell walls of G- bacteria (mainly composed of LOS), so that it has a good antibacterial effect on it. The bacteria whose cell wall is mainly composed of lipopolysaccharides, such as E. coli and Salmonella, have a poor antibacterial effect.

Antiviral Mechanism
The antiviral mechanism of α-monolaurin is that it can be inserted into the envelope of the virus, and lauric acid can cause leakage of the membrane protein of the virus, and these effects can lead to the weakness or loss of the replicate capacity of the virus.
