Pure Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (Organic)
Overview
Coconut Oil has gained a lot of press lately because it contains high levels of a healthy type of fat called Medium Chain Triglycerides or MCTs. Nature's Way Pure Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is an organic, non-GMO, pure form of coconut oil. MCTs are different from other fats primarily because they are digested much more easily and more efficiently. This makes them an extremely efficient energy source, much more so than sugar. Also, MCTs don't add to fat cells or form artery hardening plaque as readily as other fats.
One important effect that may surprise you is that MCT fats can actually aid in weight loss. Replacing other fats with Coconut Oil is being study for its effects in weight loss. Pure Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is very versatile, and may be used for cooking, as well as an effective skin moisturizer or in hair care. Give your healthy diet and exercise program a healthy boost by adding Pure Extra Virgin Coconut Oil.
