When you want to take action for your general health"s sake Coconut Oil is a beneficial fat, nutritious for your brain and body, working internally and externally, and an alternative ketone energy source for brain and body cells. It contains Medium Chain Fatty Acids (MCFA"s) and several important amino acids, chemically very different to those fats normally described as saturated or Long Chain Fatty Acids. Coconut oil is easily digested, as supported in a quote from the FDA stating *"These two oils and the fatty acids are rapidly absorbed after oral administration, metabolized, and the metabolic products are utilized...".* (coconut and peanut oils are the two cited). What does this mean for you? Coconut oil is an MCT Oil, and contains approx 65% Medium Chain Tryglerides (MCT"s) which are not broken down to single fatty acids, but move directly to the liver for faster metabolization into direct energy use by all the body cells, instead of being stored as fat. The chemical breakdown is 49% of the oil being lauric acid, 8% caprylic acid, 7% capric acid, 2% stearic acid, 6% oleic acid, and 2% linoleic acid. Coconut oil is resistant to heat and oxidization thus giving more protection to your body and lipids, therefore helping your body resist known damage and ageing issues via its antioxidant properties. A few customers have improvised alternative uses, such as a compact travel moisturizer (one capsule does face, neck and hands up to elbows I found) also emergency hair conditioner, and even a natural toothpaste ingredient. Feed-back from our customers is always welcome, and is invaluable to us and to other customers too. Customer service is very important to us and we will respond to any queries you may have regarding our products. * This statement is quoted from an FDA report on Coconut Oil; SCOGS-Report Number: 65 ID Code: 8001-31-8
