Coconut Oil

NOW Organic Virgin Coconut Oil is a high grade, unrefined premium nutritional edible oil obtained from the first cold pressing of organic coconut (Cocos nucifera) kernels. Virgin Coconut Oil is naturally trans-fatty acid free and high in medium chain triglycerides (MCT).

This oil typically contains the following beneficial fatty acids per serving (natural variation may occur): Lauric Acid 6.5 g, Myristic Acid 2.4 g, Caprylic Acid 1.0 g, Capric Acid 800 mg, Oleic Acid 800 mg and Linoleic Acid 200 mg.

Jarrow Formulas Extra Virgin Organic Coconut Oil is expeller-pressed from the fresh flesh of the coconut palm, and does not utilize solvents in the manufacturing process. Coconut oil is a rich source of Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTS), such as lauric acid (C-12) and caprylic acid (C-8). Lauric acid is used to synthesize Monolaurin, an immune-supporting monoglyceride. MCTs offer a rapid source of energy, since they are directly transported into the liver without going through the lymphatic circulation. Coconut oil is stable even during long periods of storage. Because its melting point is 75-76 degrees F, coconut oil cna be used in both liquid or solid forms, making it ideal for cooking and baking. 100% Organic
