The coconut is a truly unique fruit: a black, woody-looking pearl that hides a sugary, snow-white pulp inside.
The oil extracted from it has long been recognized for its countless beneficial properties,especially in cosmetics: perfect for moisturizing the skin, ideal for treating damaged hair and chapped lips. But today we want to talk to you about usingcoconut oil as a dietary supplement—a true source of well-being for the body.
For a long time, coconut oil was considered harmful to health because ofits high saturated fat content. But recently, numerous studies have shown that coconut oil helps boost metabolism and thyroid function,and protects us from fungal infections, such as Candida.
Let's see how.
Our bodies metabolize fatty acids differently, depending on the length of their carbon chain. Medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), foundin coconut oil, are more easily digested because they do not require pancreatic enzymes. This means that MCFAs are not stored as fat reserves and serve as a ready source of energy.
For this reason, coconut oil is considered an excellent metabolism and thyroid booster, usefulfor athletic training as well as for weight management. This is also due to the fact that coconut oil improves the absorption of minerals such as magnesium and calcium, as well as vitamins A, D, E, and K.
In addition, this powerful natural aid is known for its antimicrobial and antifungal properties. In fact, trillions of bacteria live in our bodies, primarily in the gut. An unbalanced diet and poor habits could lead to the proliferation of the troublesome Candida albicans.
Coconut oil is excellent for restoring and maintaining intestinal balance because it can destroy the cell membranes of fungi, viruses, and pathogens.
Coconut oil is a truly versatile ingredient that can be used to make desserts,smoothies, or even as a raw dressing. At the Naturetica shop, we offer it in three sizes: 100 ml, 300 grams, or in capsules. Cold-press extraction, without the use of solvents, allows us to preserve all the active ingredients, which provide various benefits to our bodies.
