From buyer reviews

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.”

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.
