Benefits of Premium Virgin Coconut Oil
Nutritional and health
VCO is a superfood that is rich in fatty acids and antioxidants. It is the building block of a well-balanced and nutritious diet.
VCO is rich in Medium Chain Fatty Acids/Triglycerides (MCFAs/MCTs) which are essential for a healthy body. MCTs are mostly made up of Lauric acid, which is key to building and maintaining the body’s immune system. Only mother’s milk has such high concentration of Lauric acid.
MCTs are converted to energy and not fat. Hence it provides nourishments to the body and helps control body weight.
VCO has been shown to control the blood sugar levels and lessen the effects of diabetes.
Skin Care
Lauric acid and other fatty acids present in large quantities in VCO help to prevent fungal and bacterial infections when applied. VCO also prevents dry skin. It is an excellent moisturizer and keeps the skin supple and soft.
VCO is known to be effective in treating skin disorders like Eczema and Psoriasis. The anti-microbial properties of VCO help to soothe the itching of the skin and reduce the inflammation caused by these skin conditions.
Vitamin E present in VCO has amazing antioxidant properties and prevents premature aging and wrinkling.
Hair
VCO is the one stop solution for all hair problems. It is an excellent natural conditioner and suits all hair types. It also helps in maintaining the health of your scalp.
VCO works just as well as any other hair product available in the market today. However it is gentle on your hair as it does not contain any harmful chemicals. These leave the hair brittle causing it to break easily.
Vitamin E and other fatty acids present in VCO promote protein regrowth in the hair, by penetrating deep into each hair and making it stronger. VCO also helps to retain moisture in the hair preventing dryness.
The anti-fungal properties of VCO help fight the cause of dandruff and also helps protect the scalp from other bacteria/viral infections.
Baby Care

Another benefit of VCO is that it works really well to cure nappy rash. This is the safest and most natural cure for rashes as it contains no chemicals.
