What the research says
Backed by published nutritional research.†
Below is what published nutritional research says about the ingredients in this formula.
-
Supports microbial balance in the gut†
According to Zhao et al. in a 2019 study published in Molecular Nutrition & Food Research (PubMed-indexed), oral glycerol monolaurate supplementation was associated with modulation of gut microbiota composition, including increases in beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus and decreases in less favorable strains in mice fed a high-fat diet.†
-
Supports the body's natural defenses against enveloped organisms†
According to Hierholzer and Kabara (1982), monolaurin tested in cell culture eased the impact of 14 human RNA and DNA enveloped viruses by greater than 99.9%, with the mechanism attributed to disintegration of the viral envelope.†

Supports broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity†
According to Schlievert and Peterson in a 2012 study published in PLoS ONE, glycerol monolaurate demonstrated potent antibacterial activity against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, and was found to prevent biofilm formation while showing no development of bacterial resistance after year-long exposure.†

Supports a healthy inflammatory response in the gut†
According to a 2024 study published in the Journal of Functional Foods, oral administration of glycerol monolaurate significantly suppressed pro-inflammatory cytokine expression including TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6, while also increasing the abundance of beneficial gut bacteria including Lactobacillus and Bacteroides in mice.†

From Amy, Founder + CEO
Pink Stork started because I couldn't find a supplement I trusted for my own pregnancy. Every formula since has been built with our OBGYN-led medical council, third-party tested, and made with the bioavailable forms, Methylated Folate, Chelated Iron, Algae DHA, my own kids deserve. We're still independent, still woman-owned, and still run by me. I take this every day.

Why Pink Stork
What we believe, and what we won't compromise on.
We've spent a decade saying no to the shortcuts the rest of the supplement industry says yes to. Here's the standard we hold ourselves to, in plain English.
-
Bioavailable forms, every single time.
Methylfolate over folic acid. Chelated Iron over ferrous sulfate. Methylcobalamin over cyanocobalamin. We pay more so your body can actually use what's on the label.
-
Real ingredients. Real names. Real forms.
Every ingredient is named on the panel, in its bioavailable form. No anonymous 'special blends' designed to hide what's actually in the bottle.
-
Third-party tested every batch.
Independent labs verify potency, label accuracy, heavy metals, and microbes, every lot, before it ships.
-
Expert-Panel Reviewed, doctor-reviewed.
Built and reviewed by our six-person, OBGYN-led medical advisory council. Real doctors with real practices and real patients, not paid spokespeople.
-
Independent and woman-owned.
Still independent. Not owned by Unilever or Nestlé. Not for sale. Accountable to the women who take our products, not to investors waiting on an exit.
-
Built on faith, family, and a better standard for moms.
Founded a decade ago by Amy, a mom who couldn't find supplements she trusted, and built them. She still owns Pink Stork. She still runs it. And she still takes them every single day.
Real women, real results
Over a million women. Still counting.

Questions we get a lot
Good questions. Real answers.
Did this product used to have a different name?
Yes! This product was formerly known as Total Cleanse or Gut Health.
Is this product pregnancy and breastfeeding friendly?
Yes, our Total Monolaurin is pregnancy and breastfeeding friendly! However, we always recommend speaking with your care provider when trying new products to ensure all your health needs are being met.
Is this product vegan friendly?
Yes, our Total Monolaurin is vegan friendly!
Is this product gluten free?
Yes, our Total Monolaurin is gluten free!
What does Total Monolaurin do?
Our Total Monolaurin supports your immune system and your body’s ability to protect itself against bad bacteria in the gut.
How many teaspoons are in 1 scoop?
There is ¼ teaspoon per scoop.
When should I be taking Total Monoluarin?
For best use, we recommend starting with one scoop of Total Monolaurin pellets three times per day. This product is not designed to be chewed, and should be swallowed with a cool beverage.
Why is my nausea/sickness getting worse?
It is possible that your nausea seems worse as your body fights the bad bacteria in your system causing sickness. This usually eases up in a week or two. Drinking as much water as you can tolerate can also help flush out dead bacteria and will keep your body hydrated throughout this process. Many women experience wonderful relief after this initial phase if they can stick with it.
How long does it take for this product to be effective? Immediately or over the course of time?
Since our Total Monolaurin works to ease the cause of nausea in the gut, it can take time to see a difference. We recommend taking this product consistently for a one month period to see how your body responds.
Would Total Monolaurin replace the Prenatal Probiotic? Or should I take both?
Our Total Monolaurin and Prenatal Probiotic can be powerful additions to help while working towards a healthy gut. Our Prenatal Probiotic is a probiotic that contains prebiotic and probiotic nutrients that support a healthy digestive system and relief from nausea and indigestion. Our Total Monolaurin supports your immune system and your body’s ability to protect itself against bad bacteria in the gut. It can also support vaginal and digestive wellness. We do have women that use them separately, while others use them simultaneously. They can work on their own, as well as benefit from each other when taken together.
Does this contain any fat per serving?
There is 1 gram of fat per serving of our Total Monolaurin.
Can I take this product with other medications or supplements?
Our Total Monolaurin can be taken along with other Pink Stork supplements, as our products are designed to work together for full-body care. We recommend checking-in with your doctor when starting a new regimen to ensure all your health needs are being met.
If you're looking to take our Total Monolaurin with another non-Pink Stork product, we recommend checking-in with your doctor to make sure our Total Monolaurin is compatible with your current regimen or medications.
If you're looking to take our Total Monolaurin with another non-Pink Stork product, we recommend checking-in with your doctor to make sure our Total Monolaurin is compatible with your current regimen or medications.
