 Many people are using virgin coconut oil today in their diets on a regular basis because they have found it helps them to lose weight, increase their energy and their metabolism. However, coconut oil has many other reported benefits, including helping to boost thyroid function and killing microbes, like bacteria, candida and viruses.
Coconut Oil in Your Diet Can Help Boost Thyroid Function
Many people report that eating foods with coconut oil in them helps to promote a healthy thyroid function, which may be the way that coconut oil consumption seems to increase metabolism. But having a healthy thyroid does a lot more than keep your metabolism normal. In fact, thyroid hormones influence all the cells in your body. That's why they can have an impact on many things including reproduction, growth, nerve & muscle function, blood sugar and insulin and more. Some symptoms of low or hypothyroid are fatigue, cold hands and feet, depression, anxiety, constipation, easy bruising, insomnia, dry skin, unhealthy and brittle nails, allergies and asthma, migraines, acne, hair loss and low sex drive.

Antioxidants - Helpful or Hurtful?
There was a recent article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) that concluded that taking antioxidants actually increased your risk of death, instead of making you healthier. This was reported in the Washington Post, without proper explanation of the JAMA article and its conclusions. It is true that studies, including the ones that JAMA referred to, show that antioxidants do NOT help users live longer. However, what was not pointed out by the Washington Post is that theses studies all used synthetic vitamin A and E, not natural sources.

 Our virgin coconut oil is made by mechanically pressing the chopped and warm air dried coconut meat straight after the coconuts are opened and dried, thus avoiding processing which destroys or alters the natural components. It is NOT refined, bleached or deodorized (RBD) NOR hydrogenated NOR altered by fermentation. This pure virgin oil retains the healthy properties of coconuts including the medium chain fatty acids and averages 50% of the highly beneficial lauric acid.
