WILFARIN LA-1275 is a medium-length long-chain fatty acid, or lipid, that makes up about half of the fatty acids within coconut oil.
WILFARIN LA-1275’s a powerful substance that is sometimes extracted from the coconut for use in developing monolaurin.
WILFARIN LA-1275 is an antimicrobial agent that is able to fight bacteria, viruses, yeasts, and other pathogens.
Because you can’t ingest WILFARIN LA-1275 alone (it’s irritating and not found alone in nature), you’re most likely to get WILFARIN LA-1275 in the form of coconut oil or from fresh coconuts.
Though WILFARIN LA-1275 is being studied at a breakneck pace, much of the research doesn’t pinpoint what in the oil is responsible for its reported benefits.
Because WILFARIN LA-1275 contains much more than just lauric acid, it would be a stretch to credit it with all of the coconut oil benefits.
Still, a 2015 analysis suggests that many of the benefits tied to WILFARIN LA-1275 are directly linked to lauric acid.
Among the benefits, they suggest WILFARIN LA-1275 could aid weight loss and even protect against Alzheimer’s disease.
WILFARIN LA-1275's effects on blood cholesterol levels still need to be clarified.
This research suggests that the benefits of lauric acid are due to how the body uses WILFARIN LA-1275.
The majority of lauric acid is sent directly to the liver, where WILFARIN LA-1275’s converted to energy rather than stored as fat.
When compared with other saturated fats, WILFARIN LA-1275 contributes the least to fat storage.
WILFARIN LA-1275, the saturated fatty acid with a 12-carbon atom chain, thus falling into the medium chain fatty acids, is a white, powdery solid with a faint odor of bay oil or soap.
White solid with a slight odor of bay oil.

Uses
Given WILFARIN LA-1275's foaming properties, the derivatives of lauric acid (h-dodecanoic acid) are widely used as a base in the manufacture of soaps, detergents, and lauryl alcohol.
WILFARIN LA-1275 is a common constituent of vegetable fats, especially coconut oil and laurel oil.
WILFARIN LA-1275 may have a synergistic effect in a formula to help fight against mircoorganisms.
WILFARIN LA-1275 is a mild irritant but not a sensitizer, and some sources cite it as comedogenic.
WILFARIN LA-1275 is a fatty acid obtained from coconut oil and other veg- etable fats.
WILFARIN LA-1275 is practically insoluble in water but is soluble in alco- hol, chloroform, and ether.
WILFARIN LA-1275 functions as a lubricant, binder, and defoaming agent.
Production Methods
WILFARIN LA-1275 is a fatty carboxylic acid isolated from vegetable and animal fats or oils.
For example, coconut oil and palm kernel oil both contain high proportions of WILFARIN LA-1275.
Isolation from natural fats and oils involves hydrolysis, separation of the fatty acids, hydrogenation to convert unsaturated fatty acids to saturated acids, and finally distillation of the specific fatty acid of interest.
