PRIMABENE® Coconut Oil BIO Virgin comes from controlled organic cultivation, is cold-pressed, unrefined, and has a strong coconut aroma. It is a smooth, white to light yellow oil that melts at around 20°C - 28°C. Coconut oil, also referred to as coconut fat, is rich in lauric acid and myristic acid. In the body, lauric acid converts into monolaurin, which fends off viruses, bacteria, and fungi that are lipid-based.
PRIMABENE® Coconut Oil BIO Virgin is not fattening, as the medium-chain fatty acids boost metabolism and increase basal metabolic rate. It also contains no cholesterol, making it a healthy alternative to animal fats (similar fatty acid composition).
