Garden of Life Extra Virgin Coconut Oil contains lauric acid (50-55% capric and caprylic acid.)— the kind found in mother's milk — along with other medium-chain fatty acids.

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. Recent Testimonial from a Satisfied Customer I was having stiffness in my hands and joint pain from arthritis and could hardly move them. I used so many herbs and supplements but nothing worked. So I tried Garden of Life's Coconut Oil by accident for my hypothyroidism. Not only did it warm me up and help me to feel more energetic but in 1-2 days I was able to move my hands freely without pain!!! Then I took a break using it and started up again when I got bad pain in both of my knees I could barely walk. It saved me and I will never stop using it again! Thank you Jordan Rubin! Mary G. Good Fat vs Bad Fat Research done in the 1950s concluded that all fat was bad. And still today many people equate fat with weight gain, clogged arteries, high blood pressure, etc. However, certain fats actually help to prevent those conditions and are essential to good health. Early researchers failed to distinguish between saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fats. They assumed at the time, that all fats (including coconut oil) were unhealthy because they raised serum cholesterol levels. But, in revisiting those studies, researchers found that hydrogenated (refined) coconut oil had been used. All hydrogenated oils produce higher serum cholesterol levels, and contribute to greater oxidation and free radicals in the body. In fact, further research has shown that excess amounts of trans-fatty acids (found in hydrogenated vegetable oils) increase the risk of degenerative diseases and other age-related maladies. Studies have shown that the amount of unsaturated oil in the diet strongly affects the rate at which wrinkled skin develops. Taken internally and used topically, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is effective at slowing down that process. Garden of Life's Extra Virgin Coconut Oil has tremendous antiviral properties. Lauric Acid makes up 50 to 55 percent of the medium-chain fatty acids in Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. In the body lauric acid converts into monolaurin, a compound which is adept at fighting viral pathogens, and is also present in large quantities in breast milk, where it protects infants from viral, bacterial and parasitic infections.

What makes Garden of Life's coconut oil extra "virgin?"

Unlike refined coconut oils, Garden of Life Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is not hydrogenated, bleached, refined or deodorized. It is produced using the same methods Filipino farmers have used for thousands of years. Meat extracted from only the freshest, organically grown coconuts is shredded and cold-pressed to make coconut milk. The milk is left to ferment 24-36 hours, during which time the oil separates. The end-product is an aromatic coconut oil that retains its taste, aroma and nutritional value for a very long time. Garden of Life Extra Virgin Coconut Oil has a longer shelf life than any other plant oil.

I thought tropical oils were unhealthy. What makes Garden of Life Extra Virgin Coconut Oil different?

Early researchers failed to differentiate between saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. They assumed all fats (including coconut oil) were unhealthy because they raised serum cholesterol levels. But by looking at those studies again, researchers have now discovered that all fats are not created equal. Newer research demonstrates saturated fats rich in the medium chain fatty acids like those found in Garden of Life's Extra Virgin Coconut Oil are very beneficial. In the body, lauric acid, which accounts for 50-55% of the total fatty acids in Garden of Life's Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, converts to monolaurin, a powerful monoglyceride.
