Most critical review:

"We recently bought these on Amazon to save a trip to the health food store. Although it was not a familiar brand, it seemed like it would be okay. Monolaurin is usually a white substance in capsules- I immediately noticed the "off" color of these. I dumped the bottle to inspect closer and found that they were different shades even within the bottle, and some actually appeared to have a wet, moldy looking appearance (inside the capsule). Not satisfied and would not recommend. Monolaurin is a great supplement- just buy a more reputable brand."

Review synopsis from individual testimonials:

Reviewer Reported Side Effects: Stomach aches, chemical smell

Reviewer Reported Results / Considerations: Low recommended dosage on the bottle. Users report many fillers /additives. The Vitamin C may have been a positive effect for boosting the immune system, but reviewers felt it was better taken as a separate supplement and not as part of the same capsule. 

Observations: The amount of monolaurin is relatively low compared to other brands. The formula contains many other ingredients.
