DO:

• Take Lauricidin® 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.

DON'T:

• Do not chew the pellets.
• Do not take too much, too soon in order to avoid a Herxheimer reaction.(die off reaction)

Lauricidin® is a concentrated mini-pellet (~30 mg) of sn1 (3)-monolaurin. Monolaurin as a class of direct food additives is consider GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe) by the USA FDA. Lauricidin® is nontoxic and does not interact with most drugs or supplements.

Because Lauricidin® 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.The usual initial level of Lauricidin® is increased gradually to twice/thrice daily for a week or two. The level can be further increased thereafter.

The maintenance level will depend on effects seen and adjusted accordingly. Contact Dr. Kabara with any questions/comments

Adults: Take with or after meals. The mini-pellets can be placed in the mouth and swallowed with water or juice. Do not take with hot liquids. Do not chew or take as a powder. The recommended initial level of Lauricidin® is ~0.75 gram (1/4 blue scoop) or less two or three times daily for a week before increasing the amount.

The level can be then increased to 1.5 grams (1/2 blue scoop) one, two or three times daily thereafter.

A maintenance level can be 3.0 grams (one blue scoop) two or three times a day necessary for optimum health effects. In stubborn cases this may be increased. The length of time for taking the supplement is an individual response. Supplements need to be taken on a continuing basis for better health--much like vitamins.

Side Effects

Lauricidin® is a nontoxic nutritional lipid. Lauricidin® may, however, increase the die off of microorganisms and result in a "Herxheimer Reaction," a kind of flu, acne, allergic symptom, etc. You need to cut back on the level or even stop for a few days before taking lower levels and then going higher. Present information on Lauricidin® suggests that it does not interfere with drug metabolism or other supplements. If taken together, Lauricidin® may increase their absorption.
