Nature's Way Coconut Oil Soft Gels, 120 Count

Product Description

It is now widely understood by the medical & scientific communities that many of our health problems are caused by 'damaged' fats created through a process called 'hydrogenation'. This heat process used to create vegetable oils, particularly margarines, is known to have a detrimental effect on health, & has been associated with serious conditions like heart disease. Nature's Way Coconut Oil does not contain any hydrogenated fats
- just pure, expeller pressed oil. A rich source of medium-chain fatty acids Another unique feature of coconut oil is that it is made up of medium-chain fatty acids. Most vegetable or seed oils are made up of long chain fatty acids, which consist of large molecules that your body finds difficult to break down, resulting in them being stored largely as fat. The fatty acids in coconut oil however, are much smaller, so they are more easily broken down & utilised as an energy source. This means that the fat in coconut oil is used for immediate energy, rather than being stored as fat in your body! A cold pressed, unrefined food-grade oil Nature’s Way Coconut Oil is ‘cold pressed’ by means of mechanical extraction so it does not contain any residue chemicals or solvent extracts, resulting in a premium quality food-grade oil. This virgin process preserves the quality & integrity of the fresh coconuts it is made from, & unlike refined coconut oils, avoids further heat processing, refining & bleaching which can rob the oil of certain beneficial vitamins & minerals. Nature’s Way Coconut Oil is also certified organic & does not contain any genetically modified ingredients.
