Organic virgin coconut oil, 1000 ml, Dragon Superfoods

Dragon SuperFoods brand raw coconut oil is virgin premium, cold pressed, raw, and certified organic, of exceptional quality! Its high burning point makes it perfect for frying, while its properties as a saturated fat make it an excellent butter substitute. The smell and slightly sweet taste of virgin coconut oil could just as easily make it an alternative to coffee creamer. Coconut oil can be part of a healthy, balanced diet. Coconut oil is used in many beauty products for a good reason: it's a natural antifungal, it's an excellent moisturizer, it can penetrate the skin better and what's more, it smells really good. The product is packaged in a transparent glass jar.

This type of oil is the only one in the vegetable kingdom that has a high concentration of medium chain fatty acids. These active compounds have a specific action in the body, which can cause a series of positive reactions. The main benefits of coconut oil can be attributed to the presence of medium chain fatty acids which include lauric acid, capric acid and caprylic acid. The medical and food safety research activity includes numerous studies about this product.

Two peer-reviewed studies published recently (March 2018) continue the trend of showing the health benefits of coconut oil and discouraging the official dogma that saturated fats are bad for health. The first study, published in Food & Function magazine, shows evidence that coconut oil fights stress and anxiety. The second study, published in the British Medical Journal, compared diets consuming mainly coconut oil, olive oil or butter and concluded that coconut oil significantly reduced C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation and induced positive blood lipid profiles in those who consumed coconut oil as their main dietary oil (study conducted by researchers at the University of Cambridge found that coconut oil can reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke)

Medicinal properties

• Coconut oil is useful in the treatment of a number of medical conditions, some of which are explained in more detail below. Coconut oil is rich in healthy saturated fats, which have different effects than most other fats in your diet. These fats can stimulate fat burning and provide the body and brain with quick energy. They also increase the good HDL cholesterol in your blood, which is linked to a reduced risk of heart disease. Most dietary fats are called long-chain triglycerides, but the fats in coconut oil are known as medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). When you eat these types of fats, they go directly to the liver, where they are used as a quick source of energy or are converted into ketones. Ketones can have powerful benefits for the brain and are being studied as a treatment for epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease and other conditions.
• Cure fatigue: the saturated fats present in coconut oil, being an important source of energy, effectively cure fatigue and energy malnutrition.
• Antioxidant and anti-aging properties: The antioxidant properties of coconut oil come from its saturated fats such as capric acid, caprylic acid, caproic acid and myristic acid. They counteract the adverse effects of aging, macular degeneration, hair loss and skin aging.
• Antimicrobial properties: The acids mentioned above turn into antimicrobial and antifungal agents, such as monocaprin and monolaurin, when they act on certain enzymes. These derivatives protect our body, both internally and externally, from conditions such as athlete's foot, skin rashes, dermatitis, candida infections or parasitic infestations.
• Digestive disorders: This oil, administered regularly in adequate amounts, can help heal chronic digestive problems.
• For beautiful and healthy teeth: coconut oil has enzymes that contribute to maintaining oral health and preventing caries. You can massage your teeth every night, before going to bed, with coconut oil, and in the morning you rinse your mouth for 15 minutes with coconut oil.
