Just to let you know that if you ever want a cheaper alternative I would seriously give (virgin) coconut oil a try - it contains lauric acid (from which lauricidin/monlaurin is made).
It would be interesting to compare the effectiveness of the 2 - the natural (coconut oil) versus synthetic derivative (lauricidin).
I have used coconut oil on cold-sores and can report that it is extremely effective against the herpes family of viruses.
I'm really glad you posted. Please stick around and share your wisdom with others!!
