Hi Deb,
Yep I've heard of lauricidin/monlaurin.
It is basically the free form of lauric-acid found in coconuts/coconut oil/ coconut milk.
As to price, coconut products will obviously be a lot cheaper.
As to efficacy - I can't say whether lauricidin will be more effective. One thing in its favour is that the lauric acid in coconut oil is bound into a fat molecule - i.e. a triglyceride. This must be released (either by digestion or friendly bacteria) for the lauric acid to take effect.
But lauricidin is already in free form.
On the other hand coconut products contain other useful fatty acids - caprylic acid, myristic acid and capric acid.
So do you want a 100% natural, cheap 4 in 1 punch?
Or do you want a synthetic highly available concentrated punch?
