One of the special unique features of coconut oil is it structural make-up it is made up of medium-chain fatty acids These medium-chain fatty acids have antimicrobial properties are are more easily digested by the body for energy than more common fats which are typically long chain fatty acidsNot all saturated fats are badCoconut oil is high in saturated fats There is a widespread misconception that all saturated fats are bad however this is not correct nbspSome saturated fats such as those in coconut oil occur naturally while other fats are artificially manipulated into a saturated state through the man-made process called hydrogenation - it is thesenbsphighly processed and refined saturated fats which are known to have a detrimental effect to health and are associated with conditions such as cardiovascular diseaseMade with premium quality organic virgin coconut oilOur Coconut Oil Softgel Capsules are made from the best quality virgin coconut oil Our source is from the Philippines and has Organic Certification from thenbspPhilippine National Standards and OCCPnbspStandards on Organic AgriculturenbspnbspOrdinary coconut oil is typically extracted by cold compression or cold milling of dried coconut kernels and then subjected to fermentation churning refrigeration enzymes and finally boiling to separate the water from the oil Our preferred extraction method is chosen to preserve thenbspdelicate integrity of the raw materials thenbspvirgin process means they are not subjected to any heat sunlight or chemicals nbspThis process ensures the Vitamin E and minerals which coconut oil naturally contains is not robbed from the supplement by heatNatures richest source of medium-chain fatty acids MCFAsCoconut oil is naturersquos richest source of medium-chain fatty acids MCFAs also known as medium-chain triglycerides Most common vegetable or seed oils are comprised of long chain fatty acids LCFAs also known as long-chain triglycerides nbspLCFAs are large molecules therefore are difficult for your body to break down this results in them being predominantly stored as fat MCFAs however being smaller are more easily digested and immediately burned by your liver for energymdashlike carbohydrates but without the insulin spike MCFAs actually help your body use fat for energy as opposed to storing it
