| | Health Benefits of Coconut Oil | | Coconut oil has been used as a cooking oil for thousands of years, and is still a staple in the diets of many people living in tropical areas today. It was once popular here in the United States as well, until shortages of imported oils during WW II created the need to promote local oils like soybean and corn oil. Soon, polyunsaturated fats became the norm in this country; and with it came a rise in obesity, higher cholesterol levels, and degenerative diseases related to aging.
Coconut oil has been shown to reduce the symptoms of digestive disorders, support overall immune functions, and to help prevent bacterial, viral and fungal infections. People who consistently use coconut oil, report changes in their ability to go without eating for several hours without experiencing the effects of hypoglycemia.
A study conducted in Yucatan where coconut oil is a staple, showed that metabolic rates of people living there were 25% higher than in comparable test subjects living in the United States. Increased metabolic rate is a key to healthy weight management and could account for the leanness of people living in areas where coconut oil is consumed on a daily basis. The study further observed that local women displayed none of the symptoms commonly associated with menopause.
| | Aroma and Taste Says it all | | Apart from it's healthful benefits, the aroma and taste alone is enough to convince anyone to use Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. Unsaturated oils go rancid in a fairly short time, imparting a stale odour and taste. When tested, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil stored at room temperature for year, showed no signs of rancidity. Of greatest interest, is its ability to withstand wide temperature ranges during cooking, without the oxidizing effects that occur with other plant-based oils. | | Dosage | | May safely consume 1-4 tbsp per day. Use in cooking, baking, frying or in smoothies. Can be used in place of other oils including butter.
Note: If stored below 76 degrees (F) oil will begin to solidify. If exposed to temperatures above 76 degrees (F) for any length of time, oil will liquefy. Extra Virgin Coconut Oil DOES NOT REQUIRE REFRIGERATION
| | Ingredients | | Garden of Life Extra Virgin Coconut Oil contains No Hydrogenated Oils and is not bleached, refined or deodorized.
Serving Size 1 tbsp (14g):
| | Extra Virgin Coconut Oil | | Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is the healthiest, most versatile unprocessed dietary oil in the world. Our Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is made from organically grown coconuts and is an excellent cooking oil. It contains Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) which the body metabolizes quickly, converting the fats to energy rather than storing them as fat. Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is a stable, healthy saturated fat that does NOT elevate "bad" (LDL) cholesterol.
Garden of Life Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is rich in lauric-acid (50-55% capric and caprylic acid.) These are super fatty acids with strong anti-microbial properties. We think it is simply the best tasting, most aromatic coconut oil on the planet!
