Coconut oil owes many of its beneficial effects to its high content of medium-chain fatty acids. Alongside lauric and caprylic acid, you'll find caproic acid (0.5-1%), myristic acid (18%), and capric acid (6-7%). Together, these components play a crucial role in supporting cardiovascular health, aiding those with chronic fatigue, diabetes, liver issues, and digestive system cleansing, while also helping those who want to care for their beauty.
For the skin, coconut oil is an excellent moisturizer that strengthens connective tissues, preventing sagging and the formation of wrinkles. It has numerous positive properties:
-
Long shelf life without refrigeration
-
Reusable for frying
-
Resistant to rancidity
-
Does not break down under heat, preventing the formation of trans fatty acids during baking (up to 170-180°C)
Filtered coconut oil is of slightly lower quality because the phytonutrients in virgin oil are destroyed during the purification process. However, the fat quality, fatty acid profile, and overall physiological effects remain the same as virgin coconut oil.
It has no coconut taste or smell. Below 25°C, it is solid and white; above 25°C, it begins to melt and turns yellow. High in MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides), it provides a quick source of energy.
