Virgin Coconut Oil(VCNO), is also called “White Coconut Oil”. It is extracted from freshly shredded and first-pressed coconut meat of choice and mature coconuts.

It was termed Virgin because it is pure as in white, it does not undergo any hydro-generation or any heating process, it is unrefined, unbleached and has not under gone any deodorizing process. Unlike other coconut oil that is extracted through heat, VCNO does not possess that latik odor, but fresh aroma of coconut oil.

VCNO is the most healthy and versatile of all vegetable oils. It is composed primarily of medium chain fatty acids(MCFA) or Triglycerides. MCFA are quickly digested and it’s transformed immediately by the body as energy. This also means that VCNO does not produce fat and cholesterol. Saturated fats found in VCNO are actually good and promotes health.

VCNO has anti-microbial properties. Its high Lauric acid content makes it a natural anti-bacterial, antiviral and anti-fungal substance. It is also found to be very stable so it does not oxidize easily. As a result, Vitamins A, C and E, which strengthen the body’s immune system are not depleted. Vitamin E in the oil also helps make the hair and skin smooth.

Lauric acid(fat called monolaurin, when ingested), which is found in VCNO, is only available naturally from mother’s milk, nature’s perfect food. These medium chain fatty acids helps to improve nutrient absorption and digestion functions of the body. They also help in regulating blood sugar level and more importantly, protect the body from harmful micro-organisms.
