PRIMABENE® Coconut Oil refined ORGANIC comes from controlled organic cultivation, is cold-pressed, refined, and neutral in scent and taste. It is a smooth, white to light yellow oil that melts at approximately 20°C - 28°C. Coconut oil, also known as coconut fat, is rich in lauric acid and myristic acid. Lauric acid converts to monolaurin in the body, which repels viruses, bacteria, and fungi that are fat-based.
PRIMABENE® Coconut Oil refined ORGANIC is not fattening, as the medium-chain fatty acids boost metabolism and increase the basal metabolic rate. Moreover, it contains no cholesterol and is therefore a healthy alternative to animal fats (similar fatty acid composition).
