Yes, it’s true.
Nature still has a few miracles up her sleeve.
You’ve probably heard that breast milk is jam-packed with nutrients and disease-fighting ingredients that help keep babies healthy.
Well, incredibly, coconut oil contains one of the same compounds—Lauric acid—found in mother’s milk! And Lauric Acid is the predominant type of MCFA (medium-chain fatty acids) found in Coconut oil.
Fortunately for our health, Lauric acid in both breast milk and coconut oil transforms when consumed into a substance called monolaurin, the actual compound responsible for helping to strengthen the immune system.
Skeptical? So were a lot of scientists, who’ve proceeded to test the heck out of this substance.
In fact, a great volume of research has been done establishing the ability of Lauric acid to enhance immunity.
What researchers found was that this medium-chain fatty acid derivative actually disrupts the lipid (or fatty) membranes of the offending organisms.
The Lauric acid in coconut oil is one effortless way to help strengthen your immune system.
And, unlike the usual Lauric acid content of 42-49% in many coconut oil brands, Fresh Shores Extra Virgin Coconut Oil contains a whopping 57% of lauric acid.
