Glycerol monolaurate improves performance, intestinal development and muscle amino acids in yellow-feathered broilers300-600 mg/kg GML improved growth and intestinal development via gut microbiota
Effects of α-glycerol monolaurate on intestinal morphology, digestibility and microbiota in weaned piglets1000 mg/kg α-GML altered morphology, digestibility and microbiota, but growth performance was not significantly affected in this trial
Bottom line. Laueasy is glycerol monolaurate (monolaurin), a lauric-acid monoglyceride with broad membrane-disrupting antimicrobial activity.

Label / recommendedNot stated on page
Effective in trials300-1200 mg/kg (broilers); ≈1000 mg/kg (piglets)
EU maximumGoverned by emulsifier good-practice use
Feed-intake and barrier effects in broilers appear at the higher end (≈900-1200 mg/kg).
Laueasy is glycerol monolaurate (monolaurin), a lauric-acid monoglyceride with broad membrane-disrupting antimicrobial activity.
Independent broiler and piglet studies support its effects on gut barrier, morphology, immunity and microbiota, and one trial shows AGP-replacement potential.
The antibacterial and gut/immune claims are the best-evidenced; the in-vivo 'enveloped virus' claim is largely mechanistic and not demonstrated in these animal trials.
Growth benefits are context-dependent — clear in some broiler trials, absent in a healthy weaned-piglet trial.
Regulatory note: it sits under authorised mono-/di-glyceride emulsifiers, and antiviral disease claims for feed additives are sensitive.
Where studies disagree: The antibacterial and gut/immune effects are well supported in vivo, but the 'antiviral / enveloped virus' claim rests mainly on mechanism and in-vitro data rather than demonstrated in-animal antiviral protection; and at least one piglet study found no growth effect.
Gaps: No in-vivo antiviral efficacy trial captured. No GML meta-analysis captured. No product-specific patent captured.
Manufacturer’s stated mechanism (their words): Glycerol monolaurate (monolaurin) is a lauric-acid monoglyceride that disrupts the lipid membranes of susceptible bacteria and enveloped viruses, lowering gut pathogen and inflammatory pressure while supporting epithelial integrity, immunity and microbiota balance.
