2 - Dosage for Ultimate Monolaurin
Introduction
There is more information following about the benefits of monolaurin. However, we wanted to talk about the dosage for Ultimate Monolaurin because it brings up a fun possible side effect of monolaurin.
Ultimate Monolaurin is very effective in killing the bad pathogens bacteria (it does not harm beneficial bacteria). In fact, it is so good at it that it can sometimes kill the bacteria faster than your body can get rid of the dead bacteria. No big problem other than minor flu type symptoms. Just back off a day so your body can catch up with removing the bacteria. Now that’s a fun side effect – that it is that good at its antibacterial job!
Producers of monolaurin, of course, would like you to take small amounts every day, more when under attack or dealing with an infection. It’s not a bad idea, really. We don’t take it every day other than an occasional notion. However, that is because we use coconut oil, itself, in our daily diets. Monolaurin is the concentrated bacteria bomber, but we think it works even better with a little of the full ingredients of coconut mixed with it.
Following are the dosage instructions for Ultimate Monolaurin:
The DO’s:
-
Take Ultimate Monolaurin in small amounts until you reach your level for optimal health and self-healing. This could mean from a few pellets to 1-3 blue scoops/day.
-
When air or ship traveling, you may need to increase your maintenance level.
-
When faced with stress or "coming down with something," increase the level during these times.
-
Take daily for optimal health and self-healing, much like vitamins.
The DO-NOTS:
-
Do not chew the pellets.
-
Do not take too much, too soon in order to avoid a Herxheimer reaction. (That is the bacterial die-off reaction we mentioned above. Additional information below.)

Because Ultimate Monolaurin is bioactive the exact amount that you need for optimal health depends on your diet and genetic make up.
This new field of nutrigenomics (interaction between nutrition and the human genome) will better help us understand how nutrients are able to prevent and even treat disease through targeted nutrition.
Children: (3-10 year olds Do not chew pellets. To be taken with meals. The mini-pellets can be placed in the mouth and swallowed with water or juice. Do not take with hot liquids. For difficult situations try placing the pellets (whole or powdered) into applesauce, pudding, peanut butter, etc. For very young children it is best to start with 1-3 pellets/day for a several days before gradually increasing the dose.
