Quality Level

General description

Virgin coconut oil (VCO) is obtained from the fresh mature kernel of Cocos nucifera. It is mainly composed of lauric acid, which is responsible for most of its physiological and metabolic properties. VCO shows better antioxidant capacity when compared to refined, bleached and deodorized coconut oil due to the presence of higher amount of phenolic compounds such as ferulic acid and p-coumaric acid.

Ask the doctor. Would you please comment on the current craze for coconut oil? I now have friends who, based on ads and popular books, are taking coconut oil several times a day.
