We recommend pure, high quality coconut oil to naturally increase metabolism and support healthy thyroid function. A study performed in the Yucatan, where coconut oil is a staple, showed that metabolic rates of local people were 25% higher than in comparable test subjects living in the US. Increased metabolic rate is a key to maintaining optimal body weight. The study also noted that local women displayed none of the symptoms commonly associated with menopause.

Some of the benefits of Omega Nutrition's Certified Organic Coconut Oil are:
- Does not contain trans-fatty acids (TFAs), which makes it a heart-healthy cooking choice.
- Ideal oil for immune-suppressed individuals.
- Medium-chain saturated fats convert into energy, do not store as fat and enable the body to metabolize fat efficiently.
- Can handle high heat better than any other oil.
- Does not raise bad (LDL) cholesterol
- May help to balance blood sugar and reduce food cravings.

Certified Organic Coconut Oil is one of nature's most beneficial, nutritious and easily digestible culinary oils. It contains Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) which the body metabolizes quickly, converting the fats into energy rather than storing them as fat. This non-hydrogenated, naturally saturated oil contains no trans-fatty acids (TFAs), which makes it a heart-healthy cooking choice. Coconut Oil is also heat-stable and, unlike other oils, is not damaged during cooking. It is also slightly lower in calories than most other fats and oils.

It is commonly believed that all saturated fats are "bad". Unfortunately, researchers in the 50's made no distinction between saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fats. They assumed that all fats, including coconut oil, were unhealthy because they raised serum cholesterol levels. However, these studies involved the use of hydrogenated (refined) coconut oil. All hydrogenated oils cause higher serum cholesterol levels, and produce greater oxidation and free radicals in the body. In addition, research has shown that excess amounts of trans-fatty acids (found in hydrogenated vegetable oils) increase the risk of degenerative diseases. In contrast, unrefined coconut oil is a healthy fat which helps to support cardiovascular function and does not raise bad (LDL) cholesterol.

Our Certified Organic Coconut Oil contains almost 50% of its fatty-acid content in lauric acid, which gives it strong anti-viral properties and makes it an ideal oil for immune-suppressed individuals. Lauric acid is found naturally in human milk and helps to keep infants from being infected by viruses and bacteria.
