High Grade Virgin Coconut Oil is primarily 44.6% lauric acid, 16.8 myristic acid, 8.2% palmitic acid, and 8% caprylic acid.

Virgin Coconut Oil is a food that is one of the best cooking oils you can use. Tropical climates have used it for years. Its chemical structure, when used as a cooking oil, is kept in tact and therefore is resistant to mutations of fatty acid chains even when used in higher cooking temperatures, unlike most vegetable oils. Research has shown that the medium chain fatty acids found in virgin coconut oil may help boost the body's metabolism, may raises body temperatures, as well as may help provide greater energy which can lead to weight loss.

Virgin Coconut oil is rich in lauric acid, a nutrient that supports the body's immune system. Lauric acid is also found in human mother's milk. The average adult should include about 3.5 tablespoons of coconut oil per day in their diet.
