WinFat 12 is formulated with high purity of α-monolaurin, an α-monoglyceride of lauric acid (C12). WinFat 12 possesses powerful antibacterial and antiviral properties, particularly against Gram-positive bacteria and fat enveloped viruses. WinFat 12 can destabilize the lipid membrane of bacteria and the fat envelope of viruses, thereby altering the permeability and resulting in the loss of the barrier function. Due to the amphiphilic nature, WinFat 12 can form micelles, which provide them with the ability to get incorporated into the lipid membrane of bacteria and the fat envelope of viruses, thereby altering the permeability and even disrupt these barriers which make the pathogens leaky and die. The interference of WinFat 12 with the lipid membrane of bacteria and the fat envelope of viruses causing them unable to adhere to and invade host cells. In this way, infection and multiplication will be impossible. Monoglycerides are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA and are permitted for use in food with no limitation. Monolaurin is even available as a nutritional supplement for human. Therefore, WinFat 12 is not only powerful but also safe to be used. Hence, it is a very good alternative to replace antibiotic growth promoters usage in the animal farming industry.
