NOW Virgin Coconut Oil is an unrefined cold-pressed coconut oil, in the production process of which no solvent is used. Virgin coconut oil has no trans fats and is rich in medium chain triglycerides (MCT's), lauric acid (C-12) and caprylic acid (C-8). Medium-chain triglycerides are less likely to accumulate in the body as fat, in contrast to other fatty acids. The combination of coconut oil with essential fatty acids (polyunsaturated fats) is the ideal addition to a specialized nutritional program that contributes to the strengthening of a healthy lipid profile.
