SC Global Coco Products Organic Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) contains Lauric acid which turns into Monolaurin: an antiviral, antibacterial, antiprotozoal monoglyceride used by the body to destroy lipid-coated viruses such as HIV, herpes, influenza, cytomegalovirus, etc (Dr. Enig). Unlike animal fats, coconut oil contains mostly medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) which does not raise blood cholesterol nor the chances of heart disease. MCFA is easily digested and used by the body as energy; it is not stored as body fat thus helping in weight loss or weight maintenance.
