What is Virgin Coconut Oil?
Coconut Oil (Cocus nucifera) is a traditional dietary staple of the people of Asia, Africa, and the Pacific Islands and has been used in Ayurvedic herbalism for thousands of years. NOW® Virgin Coconut Oil is unrefined cold-pressed oil, and does not utilize any solvents in the manufacturing process. Coconut oil has no trans-fats and is abundant in Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs), such as lauric acid (C-12) and caprylic acid (C-8). MCTs are less likely to be stored in the body as fat than most other fatty acids. When combined with essential fatty acids, it is a perfect addition to an overall healthy lipid program.

Additional Information
Support:
Coconut Oil is healthy, versatile oil containing NO trans-fats. It has been shown to support the immune system, nourish the skin and increase energy levels. The MCTs in coconut oil support fat burning and HDL cholesterol levels. As these MCTs are metabolised in the liver, they are used as an energy source or converted to ketones which have powerful benefits for brain health. These benefits are being studied for conditions such as Alzheimer’s and Epilepsy.

NOW takes special measures to preserve stevia’s natural qualities in this unique, pure, better-tasting stevia.

Their focus is on quality and freshness giving BetterStevia® a well-rounded, sweet taste that’s very close to that of pure sugar, without the calories or the guilt.

Buy productWhat is Boron?
Boron is a biologically active trace mineral that affects calcium, magnesium and phosphorus metabolism. Boron is known to support bone strength and structure.
Boron is essential to plant growth and in turn finds its way into the human diet. Boron is present in plant foods such as fruits (especially plums, grapes, and avocados), vegetables, nuts, and legumes.
Despite its availability in nature, ingesting adequate amounts of boron can be difficult as Boron levels in plant food may be low and modern dietary habits indicate people do not eat enough fruit and vegetables. -
