What
is Organic Coconut Oil?
The health benefits of coconut oil include hair care, skin care,
stress relief, maintaining cholesterol levels, weight loss,
increased immunity, proper digestion and metabolism, relief from
kidney problems, heart diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes,
dental care, and bone strength. These benefits of coconut oil can
be attributed to the presence of lauric acid, capric acid and
caprylic acid, and its properties such as antimicrobial,
antioxidant, antifungal, antibacterial, soothing, etc.
How
is Lauric Acid Used by our body?
The human body converts lauric acid into monolaurin which may help
in dealing with viruses and bacteria causing diseases such as
herpes, influenza and cytomegalovirus. It may help in fighting
harmful bacteria such as listeria monocytogenes and heliobacter
pylori, and harmful protozoa such as giardia lamblia. As a result
of these various health benefits of coconut oil, though its exact
mechanism of action was unknown, it has been extensively used in
Ayurveda, the traditional Indian medicinal system. The Coconut
Research Center has compiled various references on scientific
research done on coconut oil.
For adults, take two (2) softgel twice daily, preferably with a
meal.
