Organic Traditions Raw Coconut Oil 1000ml

Sustained Energy from MCT-Rich Composition: This raw coconut oil contains over 60% medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), unique fatty acids that bypass normal fat digestion pathways and travel directly to the liver where they're rapidly converted into ketones for immediate energy. Unlike long-chain fatty acids that require bile salts and lengthy digestive processes, MCTs provide clean-burning fuel that supports sustained energy levels, enhanced mental clarity, and improved athletic performance without causing blood sugar spikes or contributing to fat storage when consumed in moderate amounts.

Immune System Enhancement with Lauric Acid: Rich in lauric acid—a rare fatty acid otherwise found primarily in human breast milk—this coconut oil provides powerful antimicrobial and antiviral protection. Once consumed, lauric acid converts to monolaurin in the body, a compound that disrupts the lipid membranes of harmful pathogens including lipid-coated viruses (influenza, herpes, HIV), bacteria (H. pylori), and protozoa (giardia). This unique immune-supporting mechanism helps strengthen the body's natural defences while promoting beneficial gut bacteria colonisation for optimal digestive and systemic health.

Superior Cooking Performance at High Temperatures: With an exceptionally high smoke point of 177°C (350°F) and remarkable oxidative stability, this virgin coconut oil remains one of only two cooking fats that doesn't oxidize or form harmful trans fats when heated. The saturated fatty acid structure provides molecular stability that protects against free radical formation during sautéing, baking, and even frying, while delivering a subtle coconut flavour that enhances both sweet and savoury dishes. Unlike polyunsaturated oils that degrade quickly, this oil maintains a stable shelf life of over two years without refrigeration.

Multi-Purpose Natural Beauty Treatment: Beyond culinary applications, this pure coconut oil serves as a comprehensive natural skincare solution thanks to its unique fatty acid profile that closely mimics skin's natural sebum. The lauric and caprylic acids provide antimicrobial protection against acne-causing bacteria while deeply moisturising without clogging pores. Apply as a face and body moisturiser, intensive hair mask for damaged strands, scalp treatment for dandruff, massage oil, makeup remover, or targeted treatment for stretch marks and cellulite—the medium-chain fatty acids penetrate deeply to nourish skin cells and support collagen production from within.
