COCONUT OIL

FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS, COCONUT OIL HAS BEEN REVERED THROUGHOUT ASIA & THE PACIFIC FOR ITS REMARKABLE HEALTH PROPERTIES. WE NOW KNOW THESE BENEFITS ARE DUE TO A SPECIAL KIND OF FATTY ACID FOUND IN COCONUT OIL – MEDIUM CHAIN TRIGLYCERIDES (MCTs).

Coconut Oil is one of the world's richest natural sources of MCTs making it a truly unique and valuable source of nutrition. Unlike most other dietary oils, MCTs are metabolised very efficiently by the body and are directly responsible for dozens of amazing health benefits.

CHEERFUL TUMMIES

MCTs are easily digested

MCTs put less strain on the digestive organs compared to the LCTs contained in most other dietary fats because they only require stomach acids to be broken down and they bi-pass the intestines completely. Coconut Oil is therefore beneficial for everyone, and every body.

HEALTHY HEARTS

MCTs protect against cardiovascular disease

While Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL, aka "bad" cholesterol) pose a health risk, Coconut Oil is packed with High-Density Lipoproteins (HDL, the good cholesterol), which clean your blood of the bad LDL cholesterols.
MCTs have been shown to improve the LDL:HDL ratio, keeping your heart and circulatory system in tip top condition.

WONDERFUL WAISTS

MCTs are preferentially used as energy rather than stored as fat

When LCTs found in other vegetable oils are broken down, they are absorbed through the intestinal wall and circulate the bloodstream to be stored as fat.
Comparatively, MCTs are transported directly to the liver and converted into ready energy.
This makes them less available for plumping our fat cells, and more available for useful energy that our bodies can use.

MARVELLOUS METABOLISMS

MCTs are more efficiently converted into energy for immediate use

The 'fatty acids' in MCTs are absorbed just as fast as glucose, our body's normal energy source, and so produce an immediate and enduring energy boost, making Coconut Oil the ideal choice for athletes and active individuals.

BRILLIANT BRAINS

MCTs help to power and protect your brain

MCTs found in Coconut Oil can be conveniently converted into ketones, a vital source of food for your brain, especially during strenuous exercise, periods of fasting and if glucose metabolism is compromised.
They're able to supply over 50% of your brain's energy needs when carbohydrates and glucose are scarce, and have profound benefits in keeping your brain healthy.
