Natural Fermented Extra Virgin Coconut Oil for Consumption (250mL)
About This Product
Fermented Virgin Coconut Oil (FVCO) is widely used in the Southeast Asia as food
and traditional medicine. Marina et al. [1] reported the virgin coconut oil produced
through the fermentation method had the highest antioxidant activity compared to the
coconut oil obtained through other methods. The finding was further proven by
researches in University of Kelaniya [2]. We studied the methods use from the
above researches and we integrated the best of the methods and produced the best
quality of natural fermented extra virgin coconut oil with strongest antioxidant
activity. It has been found that lauric acid is an effective compound in FVCO.
It is about 50% of the fatty acid in the coconut oil [3]. Lauric acid is the
precursor of monolaurin, which has been shown to modulate immune cell proliferation
[4] and possess antimicrobial activity [5].
Intahphuak et al. [6] reported VCO possesses anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic activities using rat models. A study by Narayanankutty, 2017 [7] indicates that VCO can be used as a nutraceutical against hepatosteatosis. His group suggested VCO reverses hepatic steatosis by restoring redox homeostasis and lipid metabolism in rats. A toxicity studies was carried out [8] to evaluate the safety of VCO consumption at year 2016. The result suggested the safety of FVCO for chronic use, nutritional activity complies the requirements of regulatory agencies. On the other hand, we have added turmeric (which we have tight quality control from the garden to the finished product) in our natural fermented extra virgin coconut oil. Turmeric, a spice that has long been recognized for its medicinal properties. It is the major source of the polyphenol curcumin. It aids in the management of oxidative and inflammatory conditions, metabolic syndrome, arthritis, anxiety, and hyperlipidemia. In addition, a relatively low dose of the complex can provide health benefits for people that do not have diagnosed health conditions. Most of these benefits can be attributed to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects [9]. Ingesting curcumin by itself does not lead to the associated health benefits due to its poor bioavailability, which appears to be primarily due to poor absorption, rapid metabolism, and rapid elimination. Thus, we have formulated the combination of FVCO and turmeric perfectly to increase the bioavailability.
