L-Lysine Monolaurin, 1:1 Ratio, 60 VegCaps, Solaray

Solaray L-Lysine Monolaurin combines 500 mg of L-Lysine HCl and 500 mg of Monolaurin in a precise 1:1 ratio per serving — a dual-action formula targeting lipid-enveloped viruses through two complementary and well-researched mechanisms.

Why

L-Lysine and Monolaurin are frequently used together because they work through entirely different but complementary pathways against the same class of pathogens. L-Lysine competes with arginine — the amino acid herpes simplex virus (HSV) requires to replicate — reducing viral replication at the cellular level. Monolaurin (glyceryl monolaurate, derived from coconut lauric acid) works differently: it physically disrupts the lipid envelope that surrounds viruses like HSV, influenza, and others, dissolving their protective coating and rendering them unable to infect cells. Together in a 1:1 ratio, they provide a more comprehensive approach than either compound alone. Solaray has been producing lab-verified, quality-tested supplements since 1973, and this formula is vegetarian, free from unnecessary additives, and independently verified for purity and potency.

⚠️ Contains coconut. Do not use if you have a coconut allergy.

Key Benefits

• Supports the body's natural defences against cold sores (HSV-1) and herpes simplex virus
• Helps reduce the frequency, severity, and duration of cold sore outbreaks
• Broad-spectrum immune support against lipid-enveloped viruses and bacteria
• Precise 1:1 ratio — complementary dual-action formula targeting two distinct pathways
• L-Lysine also supports collagen synthesis, calcium absorption, and antibody production
• Lab verified for purity and potency
• Vegetarian vegcaps, free from unnecessary fillers

Formula Highlights

• L-Lysine HCl (500 mg per serving) – essential amino acid that competes with arginine for cellular uptake, reducing arginine availability to HSV and suppressing viral replication; also supports collagen synthesis, calcium absorption, and immune antibody production
• Monolaurin / Glyceryl Monolaurate (500 mg per serving, from coconut) – mono-ester of lauric acid (the primary medium-chain fatty acid in coconut oil and human breast milk); disrupts the lipid envelope of lipid-coated viruses and certain bacteria, rendering them unable to infect cells
• 1:1 Ratio – equal doses of both compounds ensure neither mechanism is under-represented; the two pathways (arginine competition + envelope disruption) are complementary and non-overlapping
• Coconut-Derived Lauric Acid – monolaurin is naturally occurring in coconut oil and breast milk; Solaray uses coconut as the source for their glyceryl monolaurate
