Virgin Coconut Oil, 100% organic and non-GMO, is a potent and natural
way of avoiding illnesses, with its innate anti- inflammatory
properties.
As
the Novel Coronavirus 2019 (nCoV-2019) has become an alarming global
pandemic, with two cases now being reported in the Philippines,
taking precautions towards one’s health and wellbeing has become
essential. Besides not being able to report to work, the risky
possibility of infecting others is also there.
Apart
from having frequently clean hands through regular washing, plus
avoiding close contact with anyone who has fever and cough, one
effective way to avoid falling ill is by boosting your immune system.
And while a cure for 2019-nCoV is still being developed; thankfully,
there exists a natural, scientifically-proven method of immune system
strengthening—the intake of coconut oil!
According
to a paper entitled “The Potential of Coconut Oil as an Effective
and Safe Antiviral Agent Against the Novel Coronavirus (nCov-2019)”
authored by Fabian M. Dayrit, Ph.D, of the Ateneo de Manila
University, and Mary T. Newport, M.D., of Springhill Nematology of
Florida, USA, they have confirmed what has been known for many years:
that Lauric acid (C12), a medium-chain fatty acid which makes up
about 50% of coconut oil, and its derivative, monolaurin, a
metabolite that is naturally produced by the body’s own enzymes
upon ingestion of coconut oil and is also available in pure form as a
supplement, possesses significant antiviral activity.
Specifically,
Sodium lauryl sulfate, a common surfactant that is made from lauric
acid, has been shown to have potent antiviral properties. “Coconut
oil and its derivatives have been shown to be safe and effective
antiviral compounds in both humans and animals,” both eminent
authors state. They therefore suggest that Coconut Oil be considered
as a general prophylactic against viral and microbial infection.
On
a consumer level, what then are the best sources of C12 Lauric Acid?
There’s coconut cooking oil which has 45% Lauric Acid; Coconut milk
which has 15-25%; Desiccated Coconut and whole coconuts which have
16%; and Virgin Coconut Oil or VCO which has 45% Lauric Acid +
Polyphenol antioxidants.
Of
course, it is worth stressing that not all VCO’s are created equal.
The VCO you take has to be USDA certified organic,
non-GMO, unbleached and unrefined, and should not be deodorized. For
this, there’s only ProSource products!
