Virgin Coconut Oil is the most healthy and versatile of all edible oils. The oil is extracted from the white fresh meat instead of the dried copra, which are widely used conventionally. Most people do not realize that coconut oil is composed of beneficial Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCT). Unlike the long-chain fatty acids, it does not clot arteries or raise the blood cholesterol level. On the contrary, it helps to improve body cholesterol profile.

Once it enters the body, MCT is digested and the fat-soluble nutrients are absorbed quickly.
