Jarrow Formulas Coconut Oil (16 oz)
Coconut oil is a healthy, naturally saturated vegetable product. Unhydrogenated coconut oil contains “good” fat - 50% Lauric Acid. It is made up mostly of medium chain fatty acids, which the body metabolizes efficiently and converts into energy, rather than storing as fat. Coconut oil does not elevate your “bad” cholesterol level (LDL), and is slightly lower in calories than most vegetable oils.
The numerous health benefits of coconut oil are finally again reaching the mainstream. Benefits like:
- Promoting heart health
- Promoting weight loss when and if you need it
- Supporting your immune system health
- Supporting a healthy metabolism
- Providing an immediate energy source for you
- Helping to keep your skin healthy and youthful looking
- Supporting the proper functioning of your thyroid gland
Coconut oil has a unique role in the diet as an important physiologically functional food. The health and nutritional benefits that can be derived from consuming coconut oil have been recognized in many parts of the world for centuries. Although the advantage of regular consumption of coconut oil has been underappreciated by the consumer and producer alike for the recent two or three decades, its unique benefits should be compelling for the health minded consumer of today. A review of the diet/heart disease literature relevant to coconut oil clearly indicates that coconut oil is at worst neutral with respect to atherogenicity of fats and oils and, in fact, is likely to be a beneficial oil for prevention and treatment of some heart disease. Additionally, coconut oil provides a source of antimicrobial lipid for individuals with compromised immune systems and is a nonpromoting fat with respect to chemical carcinogenesis.
There is only one oil that is stable enough to resist heat-induced damage, while it also helps you promote heart health, maintain normal cholesterol levels and even helps you lose weight -- coconut oil.
