COCONUT OIL (RAW EXTRA VIRGIN UNREFINED) BRAIN FOOD - 1KG
The coconut is one of natures greatest miracles and has been used by people since the dawn of time, in Sanskrit, the ancient Indianian language, the coconut palm is called kalpa vriksha, meaning "the tree that supplies all that I need to live", due to the amazing properties of coconuts it has been extensively used in Ayurveda, the traditional Indian medicinal system.
The Coconut Oil we supply is from the most trusted purest source in the Philippines, we have found it to be the highest quality that we have been able to find.
Coconut Oil can help the body use Omega 3 fatty acids nearly twice as efficiently and being a healthy saturated fat, it helps to regulate and support healthy hormone production. Coconut oil contains precursors to pregnenolone, progesterone, and DHEA. It is perhaps one of the most powerful natural tools in the battle against brain deterioration.
The health and well-being benefits from using Coconut Oil are vast, despite what we were told in the past. People across the world use Coconut oil to build and strengthen their brains, for hair care, skin care, stress relief, healthy cholesterol levels, weight loss, increased immunity, proper digestion and metabolism, kidney health, heart health and bone strength. Coconut oil is composed of more than 90% saturated fats and a few unsaturated fatty acids. The saturated fatty acids are mainly Medium Chain Triglycerides opposed to the long-chain ones found in meat, these shorter chain fatty acids require less energy and enzymes to digest, and thus assimilate well into the body. Of the MCT's found in coconut oil Lauric acid (C-12) is the most abundant making up nearly 40%, then Capric (C-10) Caprylic (C-8) and Myristic (C-14). All of these demonstrate antimicrobial, antiviral and antifungal properties, Lauric acid has the greatest antiviral components and Caprylic acid the most yeast fighting.
Coconut Oil (Raw Extra Virgin Unrefined)
Brain and Cognitive
The digestion of MCFAs by the liver creates ketones that are readily accessible by the brain for energy. Ketones supply energy to the brain without the need of insulin to process glucose into energy. Recent research has shown that the brain actually creates its own insulin to process glucose and power brain cells. As the brain in poor health loses the ability to create its own insulin, the ketones from coconut oil could create an alternate source of energy to help repair brain function.
In a 2004 study published in the Journal of Neurobiology of Aging, researchers found that the MCFAs in coconut oil improved the memory problems in their older subjects. Across all the patients there was a marked improvement in their recall ability after taking this fatty acid. As the MCFAs are absorbed easily in the body and can be accessed in the brain without the use of insulin. Thus, they are able to fuel brain cells more efficiently.
Digestion / Absorption
Consumption of coconut oil occurs mainly as cooking oil. Coconut oil helps in improving the digestive system and thus prevents various stomach and digestion related problems. Coconut Oil also helps in absorption of other nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and amino acids so we recommend adding coconut oil when using any of the other superfoods on our site as it greatly increases their effectiveness.
Kidney and Liver Health
Coconut Oil has been known to clear up and heal urinary tract infection (UTI) and kidney infections. The MCFAs in the oil work as a natural antibiotic by disrupting the lipid coating on bacteria and killing them. Research also shows that coconut oil directly protects the liver from damage.
You could also consider Coconut water as it helps hydrate and supports the healing process. Doctors have even injected coconut water to clear up kidney stones. Coconut is a powerful superfood, which is evident given all these tremendous coconut oil benefits.
Gallbladder Pancreas Health
The MCFAs of coconut oil do not need the pancreatic enzymes to be broken down, so taking coconut oil eases the strain on the pancreas. Additionally, this superfood is so easy to digest that it has been known to improve the symptoms of gallbladder issues as well. Replace other long-chain fats with coconut oil to improve gallbladder and total body health.
Hormonal Health

You can also consume other coconut forms, such as coconut butter or coconut water.
Immunity
Coconut Oil is also good for the immune system, it strengthens the system as it contains antimicrobial lipids, lauric acid, capric acid and caprylic acid which have antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral properties. Lauric acid (monolaurin), which is known to reduce candida, fight bacteria and create a hostile environment for viruses. Many diseases today are caused by the overgrowth of bad bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites in the body. You can replace grains and sugar in your diet with coconut oil as your natural fuel source when you’re sick. Sugar feeds the growth of bad bacteria.
