Cultured Coconut Extract vs Virgin Coconut Oil

Cultured  Coconut Extract  vs Virgin Coconut Oil

Much has been said about the goodness of coconut oil.  Virgin  coconut  oil  (VCO)  is  produced  from normal  cold-pressed  technique.  Cultured  Coconut Extract  (CCE),  however  is  produced  through  an advanced  fermentation  process  using  carefully selected coconut milk that is ethically harvested at a specific  maturity.  It  has  been  processed  without heating  which  could  compromise  its  fatty  acid structure.

Cultured  Coconut Extract   is  high  in  medium  chain  triglycerides,  lauric acid  and  naturally  occurring  bioactives, Bio-Lipopeptide. It is meticulously extracted through biotechnology's bacteria fermentation process, yielding  up  to  60%  extraordinarily  pure  lauric  acid. Mother's  milk  has  about  20%  lauric  acid.    Bio-Lipopeptide  is  only  available  in  cultured  coconut  extract while none has been traced in Virgin  coconut  oil.

Bio- Lipopeptides are molecules that have therapeutic  effect  on  the  body. This  is  different  from Virgin  coconut  oil which  is  a  natural  source  of  Acid  Lauric  and saturated  fat  only.  This  medium  chain  fatty  acid, converts  into  monolaurin  in  our  body.  Monolaurin has  anti-viral,  anti-bacterial  and  anti-protozoa properties  that  are  used  by  our  body  to  destroy viruses that caused HIV, herpes and influenza.
