Cindy 2012-06-30T03:47:02Z 2012-12-01T00:22:01Z <p>Don't monoglycerides get formed into triglycerides once again to be taken up by chylomicrons? I know monolaurin is antimicrobial but does it even get a chance to perform this action? </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/131580/where-does-monolaurin-go/131603#131603 Answer by Mscott for where does monolaurin go? Mscott 2012-06-30T08:55:29Z 2012-06-30T08:55:29Z <p>I suspect this is likely. There is a sparsity of evidence regarding what actually happens when monolaurin is consumed, so we mostly have to speculate. I would guess that food sources of monolaurin (such as coconut oil) may exert some antimicrobial properties in the mouth and stomach, but once in the intestines the process of digestion and packaging into chylomicrons halts this effect.</p> <p>That's my guess.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/131580/where-does-monolaurin-go/136196#136196 Answer by Khay Oem for where does monolaurin go?
