Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
Jarrow Formulas Extra Virgin Organic Coconut Oil (Cocus nucifera) is expeller-pressed from the fresh flesh (copra) of the coconut palm, and does not utilize any solvents in the manufacturing process. Coconut Oil is a rich source of Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs), such as lauric acid (C-12) and caprylic acid (C-8). Lauric acid is used to synthesize Monolaurin, an immune-supporting monoglyceride. MCTs offer a rapid source of energy, since they are directly transported into the liver without going through the lymphatic circulation.
Usage:
Coconut oil is stable even during long periods of storage. Because its melting point is 75-76 F, Coconut oil can be used in both liquid or solid forms, making it ideal for cooking and baking. Best kept refrigerated after opening.
