Definition
of Virgin Coconut Oil |
|
Virgin
coconut oil means, oil extracted from well matured and
fresh
coconut meat (not copra) by mechanical or natural means.
It�s best be obtained without using heat, does not undergo
chemical refining, bleaching, or deodorizing, so as the
oil�s essential properties, is well protected and
preserved, as they were present in their original state in
the coconut. |

VIRGIN
COCONUT OIL (PURE)
Processed by natural means without heat and any
chemical. Composed of at least 9 fatty acid (Medium
Chain Fatty Acids) namely caproic, caprylic, capric,
lauric, myristic, stearic, oleic and linoleic acid.
Study shows that it's really beneficial to mankind
regardless of age range. Suitable to be consumed,
applied on skin, as a massage ointment, and also good
for couples.
According to the standards, virgin coconut oil must be
colorless, sediment free with natural fresh coconut
scent and free from rancid odors or tastes. It is
required to have a maximum of .20% moisture and volatile
content to prevent rancidity and not contain any food
additives.

How virgin coconut oil is
processed? |
BIO-ASLI's virgin coconut oil is produced organically by natural
fermentation process without applying any heat so as its
natural fat structure ( fatty acids, particularly its lauric
acid and capric acid are preserved as those in its natural form
(in well matured and fresh coconut fruit).
We adopted traditional fermentation method - Coconut milk extracted from
the fresh coconuts is fermented for 1-2 days for the oil to separate
from the water and solid contents (which are mostly protein). Special
method is being applied to reduce moisture content and be filtered.
|
What makes Bio-Asli's
VCO
manufacturing process secured its quality ? |
To ensure the natural MCFA and the
existing antioxidant in VCO are preserved, we purposely adopt
traditional fermentation, but with innovative modern concept. Therefore,
do not use enzymatic reaction as it may disturbed the VCO lipoprotein
bonding, do not apply any heating process as it may dispel VCO�s
antioxidant. And also by mean of acid catalyst which maight untie MCFA.
Furthermore, Bio-Asli offers marvelous technique for discarding
moisture, as we could have maximum of 5% (compare to standard 20%)
moisture and volatile content to prevent rancidity. |

VCO's quality |
|
What is VCO, what is the content of VCO and
how could wide range of diseases can be healed and why VCO
could benefits our body? This question seems to be discussed
regularly and everywhere these days. Thus, many parties are
now really eager to get a better understanding of VCO,
particularly its content.
Many research proved that VCO contains a
unique form of saturated fat that is different from those
found in animal and some vegetable fats. Virgin coconut oil
is the best source of medium and short chain fatty acids,
proven to be rich in natural antimicrobial (antivirus,
antibacterial, antifungal and antiprotozoa) and equivalent
to breast milk. The presence of abundant antioxidant in VCO,
makes it to be something that no one should resist.
Eventhough coconut oil had been used and
consumed for generations, but no standard being set which
the world had agreed upon. The only available satandard are
The Asia and Pacific Coconut Community (APCC) and The
Philippine National Standard (PNS) with the code PNS / BAFPS
No.22:2004. Both cover the standard quality of VCO, as well
as the manufacturing processes.
As a comparison, schedule 2 shows the quality
standard of VCO according to SII (1979). Meanwhile schedule
3 shows the quality standard of VCO according to APCC
(2005). Schedule 2 and 3 show the fatty acid content in VCO
and coconut oil. The medium chain fatty acid is higher in
VCO compared to coconut oil.
According to AFCC, in VCO's manufacturing, it
does not matter whether process with or without heating,
provided that it does not destroy the antioxidants and does
not denatures all the chemical structure of the MCFA
components.
Therefore,
VCO which are produced by traditional fermentation or by
gradual heating could be categorized as VCO. Anyway, PNS
outlines a more precise criteria; VCO is produced without
undergoing of chemical refining, deodorizing and bleaching (RDB).

The benefits of Virgin Coconut
Oil |
|
1- Similar to fats in mother's milk and have similar nutriceutical effects.
2- For mothers who breast-fed their child, taking Virgin
Coconut Oil as part of their nutrition will discover that the
levels of lauric acid and capric acid increase
significantly. (see detailed information Removal Impact of
Virgin Coconut Oil to lactating mother)
3-Act as a superb Anti Oxidant agent (Protect or prolonging the
life of cells)
4-Antimicrobial (Antivirus and antibacterial)
Lauric acid and capric acid in virgin coconut oil which are
'medium chain fatty acid',
the precursor of
monolaurin and monocaprin in human or animal body respectively.
Both monolaurin and monocaprin possessed antiviral,
antibacterial and antiprotozoal properties.
Lauric acid and its
monoglyceride derivatives combating
lipid-coated viruses (LCVs)
such as HIV virus, measles virus, herpes simplex virus-1
(HSV-1), vesicular stomatitus virus (VSV), visna virus, and
cytomegalovirus (CMV),
influenza, and a variety of pathogen bacteria including listeria
monocytogenes and helicobacter pylori, and protozoan such as
giardia lamblia.
The antiviral action attributed to monolaurin is that of
solubilizing the lipids and phospholipids in the envelope of the
virus causing the disintegration of the virus envelope. In
effect, it is reported that the fatty acids and monoglycerides
produce their killing or inactivating effect by lysine the
(lipid bilayer) plasma membrane.
However, there is evidence from some recent studies that one
antimicrobial effect of monolaurin is related to its
interference with signal transduction in cell replication. |

5- Increase metabolic rate in human or animal body
6- Classified as functional food.
According to ILSI NORTH AMERICA SPECIAL CONFERENCE
functional food is defined as food
that provides a health benefit over and beyond the basic
nutrients.
As a functional food,
coconut
has fatty acids which provide both energy (nutrients) and
raw material for antimicrobial monoglycerides (functional
component) when it is eaten.
Approximately 50% of the fatty acids in coconut fat are
lauric acid.
Lauric acid
is a medium chain fatty acid, which has the additional
beneficial function of being formed into
monolaurin
in the human or animal body. Monolaurin is the
antiviral,
antibacterial,
and
antiprotozoal
monoglyceride used by the human or animal to destroy lipid
coated viruses such as
HIV,
herpes,
cytomegalovirus,
influenza,
various
pathogenic bacteria
including
listeria monocytogenes
and
heliobacter pylori,
and
protozoa
such as
giardia lamblia.
Some studies have also shown some antimicrobial effects of
the free lauric acid
Also, approximately 6-7% of the fatty acids in
coconut fat
are
capric acid.
Capric acid
is another medium chain fatty, which has a similar
beneficial function when it is formed into
monocaprin
in the human or animal body.
Monocaprin
has also been shown to have antiviral effects against
HIV
and is being tested for antiviral effects against
herpes simplex
and antibacterial effects against chlamydia. (Reuters,
London June 29, 1999)
Dr. Halldor Thormar, the Icelandic scientist, who previously
showed that monolaurin, which comes from the fat in
coconut,
kills lipid coated DNA and RNA viruses including
HIV
and herpes viruses as well as other microorganisms including
gram positive bacteria has just announced the potential
effectiveness of
monocaprin
dissolved in a gel in killing
HIV.
Monocaprin
also comes from the fat in
coconut.
Thormar and his colleagues plan to continue the tests with
monocaprin
against chlamydia and herpes simplex virus.

EXTRAORDINARY
NATURE'S
REMEDY.
Virgin coconut oil (VCO) is really
effective to soften and moisturizing dry skin. When it
is applied, skin will be smooth and moisturized. VCO is
natural and it does not leave the thin fatty layer on
your skin like other lotions and commercial oil. VCO is
not only leave your skin moisturized, soft and smooth;
it also removes dead cells and leave your skin nourish
and younger, because VCO could help the new cells
growing healthier.
Many people agree that VCO could
give you the UV protection; it could avoid whitehead and
skin cancer. VCO is really good in protecting your skin
from the sunlight; it could keep your skin long lasting
and healthy even under the sunlight. Unlike sunscreen,
VCO is suitable for all skin types. It leaves the sun
protection naturally on your skin. Sunscreen has certain
degree of Sun Protection Factor (SPF), however not all
skin types need the same degree of SPF. Sunscreen also
does not help your skin to be naturally protected,
because it does not leave the natural sun protection on
your skin.
Why virgin coconut oil (VCO) leaves
your skin remedies and revives? It is because medium
chain fatty acid (MCFA) in VCO has the metabolic effect
on skin and the cell activity such as wound healing
process is done by metabolism. The higher degree of
metabolism could help skin cells activities such as
poison elimination, wound healing, dead cell removal,
and damaged cell remedial to be done rapidly. It is
because MCFA gives an instant energy on skin cells for
metabolism and rapid healing.
Virgin coconut oil has the specific
benefit; it could reduce the chronic skin infection only
in a few days. A study that was done by Dr. S Sadeghi,
stated that virgin coconut oil could reduce the pro
infection chemical in body. He suggests people to use
virgin coconut oil for serious disease infection
treatment. Virgin coconut oil should be taken as a
supplement food to get an effective treatment; this will
give the same treatment in the body as we apply on our
skin. The other skin disorders that are categorized as
irritation in channel gastrointestinal disease are
colitis, boil, hepatitis and hemorrhoids. These diseases
can be treated by taking virgin coconut oil. Virgin
coconut oil also could heal the irritation of the other
parts of body, such as multiple sclerosis, arthritis,
and phlebitis.
From the information above, it describes that virgin coconut oil
can be used in or outside of our body to get an exciting
health benefits.

Metabolism and Energy |
|
When a person is inflicted by a serious or
critical injury as a result of a car accident until he/she should be rushed to
the hospital
to undergo emergency treatment, or seize by a life threatening decease say in connection
with age diopname to cure
a degenerative disruption. In this situation of life and death, it greatly
depends on the treatment receive in the hospital. Often it depends on
infusion. At the emergency unit there may be another patient, who suffer
from complication due to a hereditary illness like
cystic fibrosis or epilepsy or premature baby fighting for his / her first
few
weeks of life. In each of the above situation, actually these patients
can actually count on the Virgin Coconut Oil for their recovery. Yes
indeed, in one form or another, virgin coconut oil is part of his / her
remedy.
Despite it's content, remedial needs good nutrition. Many nutritionist see the usefulness of MCFA for a long time. Virgin coconut oil was an alternative, used
in the hospital as mixture in milk to feed the baby, or as lactation
dilution included to the body patient through infusion or drip or through
the throat. In case of emergency when commercial
dilution not found, doctor in the tropical areas will use
coconut milk. It is often considered as � coconut milk �, fresh coconut
water which is free from bacteria. Moreover, it contained salt mineral,
sugar and medium chain fatty acid (MCFA) which are able to give
sustenance to a patient incapable of taking or
digest common food. Coconut water reported already save the life of
hundreds who are seriously ill and hurt. Among the greatest
benefit is, it overcomes dehydration and electrolyte depletion to
injured soldiers.
During the II World War, Japanese used water coconut for treatment in
the state of
emergency.
Questions may arise, why we must use
it? This is because MCFA in virgin coconut oil is easily digested and
absorbed by our body. Virgin coconut oil is really good for those who
get illness or seriously injured. It is not wonder why MCFA is added in
baby�s milk formula, because breast milk is also contain MCFA. MCFA is
not only found in virgin coconut oil, but it also found in breast milk.
MCFA is really essential for infants and digestive disorder (cystic
fibrostic) treatment. MCFA is really good for all, even for those who
don�t have any health problem. It could improve your health performance.
Besides, athletes are also use virgin coconut oil to improve their body
balance and weight management. Nowadays, there are just a few foods
known that contain MCFA. In that case, virgin coconut oil is the best
solution for those who want to keep up their health.
|
|
Protection from disease
|
|
The
other benefit of breast milk is it can protect the baby from disease
infection. This is compulsory for the baby to be protected from disease
and get the immunity before they could have the perfect immunity system.
Antimicrobial in breast milk can protect the baby from bacteria and
parasite. If they don�t get the sufficient MCFA, they will be easily
infected with diseases and it would be highly risk for them. It is
different for adult; they can fight disease and infection with the
immunity system in their body, so that they won�t be easily infected by
any disease.
When a lactating mother
was infected by a disease, her child will be infected by the disease.
The viruses that attack the mother will affect her child by lactation.
So that, mother who was infected by dangerous virus such as AIDS was not
recommended to milk her child. Researcher suggested mother to take
virgin coconut oil as a supplement, because it contains acid laureate
and caprate acid, it will decrease the risk of infection to her child.
Usually, mother who was infected by HIV virus is not recommended to milk
her baby to avoid infection towards her baby. However, in some country,
they have no choice; they have to milk their baby because of their
economic problem, so that they are suggested to add coconut oil in their
food. This is the only way for women to avoid their child from being
infected by AIDS virus.
Recommended that the mother infected by
HIV while nursing his child used 24-28 grams / day laurate acid and 3�4
grams / d day caprate acid to prevent the virus from spreading. This is
because coconut oil contains almost 48 % laurate acid and 7 % caprate acid.
So that, the mother need to take 50-55 grams coconut
oil daily. But then, 3.5 tablespoon of coconut oil daily will be enough.
Other viral infections that
cause smallpox, herpes, mononucleosis and others is also a threat
to the baby who suckle. Pregnant women and lactating mother could
protect their child by taking a lot of coconut oil or coconut product that contain
coconut oil, like coconut milk.
Mother or mother-to-be
who want a healthy baby and their baby grow perfectly will consider this
oil added to their food. This not only will ensure good health for their
child, in addition it is also beneficial for them.
MCFA is a vital nutrient
and protector found in breast milk. MCFA is very effective in killing
AIDS virus. It is also really good in providing nutrient to the
premature baby to grow healthy. From the moment human grow up and start
aging, the body condition would start to decline. At this moment MCFA is
able to give the nutrient beside protection, either for contagious
disease or degenerative disease, similar as what happen to the baby
although the baby does not undergo degenerative process. In conclusion,
coconut oil gives much benefit to those young and old people.

Substance digestion and
absorption |
|
Over 50 year, researchers had identified
that MCFA digestion is different than other fat. This difference had an
important application for remedial of digestive and metabolic disorder
and since then MCFA is used routinely in hospital and for infant
formula.
Well-being benefit digestion of medium
chain fatty (MCFA) or long-chain fatty acid (LCFA) is contact with
variations of body system to metabolize this fat. Because of its smaller
molecules, it only need fewer and smaller enzyme energy to split it for
digestion, than dissolved and absorbed quickly with a minimum
energy.
MCFA is broken down
directly by the enzyme in the saliva and stomach acid, therefore the
pancreatic enzyme that digests the fat doesn�t need to struggle. Thus
digestion process in pancreas and digestion system is lesser. This
situation had an important influence on patient who had digestive and
metabolic disorder. Premature infant or sick baby especially with
underdeveloped digestive organ, will be able to absorb MCFA
sufficiently, rather than other fat which will pass through the system
without much can be digested. Therefore people who suffer digestive
disorder such as cystic fibrosis will found difficulty in digesting or
absorb fat and vitamin which can be soluble in fat, unlike with MCFA.
MCFA is also important for people who suffer from diabetes, obesity, ill
bladder, pancreatic, Crohn disease, inadequacy pancreatic and several
form of cancer.
Once when we are getting older, our body will
not function as good as when we were young. The pancreas no longer
produce enough digestive enzyme, intestine does not absorb nutrient
properly. All digestion process subside until it's efficiency decline.
Consequently, old people often suffer vitamins and minerals deficiency
and need to add MCFA in their in food because MCFA can be digested easily
and improve digestion of vitamins and minerals. This is easy to do if their food
is
made of from virgin coconut oil.
Unlike other fatty acid, MCFA is directly absorbed
from the intestines into tube back portal and goes directly to
the heart where a large part will be burn as fuel as carbohydrate. In
this matter MCFA burn more easily as compared to carbohydrate or other fat.
Other fat need pancreatic enzyme to split
it into smaller units. It will be absorbed into intestinal wall and in
fat package (lipid) and those proteins named lipopotenis. Lipoprotein
are brought by the lymphatic system , then circulated to the whole
body. From the moment it moves in the blood, fat component will be
divided into whole network of the body. Lipoprotein becomes small and
smaller, until a few remained. When it is taken by the liver, it will be broken
down
and used to make energy if required, shuffle into other
lipoprotein and return into the blood stream to be sent to the
whole body. Cholesterol, saturated fat, non monosaturated fat and non
saturated poly fat, all will be jointly arranged in lipoprotein, enter the
heart and are transformed into energy until it never remain as body fat.
In every cell there is
an organ called mitochondria. Mitochondria are required by cells to
carry out its function. Mitochondria have two membrane cells which need
specific enzyme to carry nutrient to get through over it. MCFA is unique
where it can easily penetrate the second mitochondria membrane without
enzyme and give quick and efficient energy to the cell. However, long
chain fatty acid (LCFA) needs specific enzyme to go trough the membranes
of mitochondria. It also processes the energy production slower.
Because of its benefit,
virgin coconut oil considered to be life saving for people, especially
for baby and old people. As a treatment, it is used in specific food
preparation for people who suffer from pollution and having difficulty
in digesting fat. For the same reason, it can also be used in infant
formula to cure undernourishment because it can be absorbed quickly to
provide nutrition in body.
Eating foods which contains MCFA is
like using a high octane fuel for a car. The car will accelerates faster and
get cover a longer distance / refuel. That's what happened, with MCFA
the body can work more because it had more energy and greater
immunity, because MCFA is channeled directly to heart and
transformed into energy getting extra. This is because MCFA is
easily adsorbed by the energy producing cell and metabolism increase by
itself. Finally this energy increase will predominate stimulation on the
whole body.
MCFA can be directly
digested and generate energy and also stimulate the metabolism intrigue
is a fact. So that, there are many athletes utilize it to improve their
performance. Recently, research shows this fact is truly possible. Many
researchers use mice in their experiment. Their experiment is about the
immunity between the mice that were given MCFA as their daily food and
the mice that weren�t given MCFA as their daily food. The experiment was
held for six weeks. Regarding to the experiment, the mice are tested on
their ability to swim in a reservoir for every two days. The result
shows that the performance of the mice that are given MCFA as their
daily food is better than the other one. This shows that MCFA has the
ability to improve the immune system of the mice. In the other study,
the researchers used cyclist athlete as their sample. The cyclists cycle
70% of his maximum's speed for two hours. Then, they need to immediately
attempt for 40 Km (they are given an extra hour). In this study, each of
the cyclists is given MCFA solution, sport beverage, and the other is
MCFA mixed with sport beverage. As the result, the athlete who drinks
MCFA mixed with sport beverage shows the best performance in the study.
He cycles fastest than the other two cyclists. The researchers make the
theory that MCFA supplies glycogen and gives an extra energy to the
athlete. The glycogen that is supplied is completely used during the
three hours of the experiment. The extra glycogen that was supplied by
MCFA helps the athlete to perform well. Then, in the next study, the
researchers try to find the theory of glycogen production. The samples
are among cyclist and each of them are given the same drink as the study
before. They need to cycle 60% of their maximum ability for 3 hours.
According to the same training, the rate of glycogen in their muscle was
measured and the result shows that the rate of glycogen in their muscle
is same. This shows that MCFA doesn�t supply glycogen, but it improves
the athlete performance. Their performance doesn�t relate with glycogen
supplement and it might be relate with other mechanism.
As the result of this
study, there are many sports drink and energy drinks that contain MCFA
to give instant energy being sold in pharmacies. Usually, MCFA was used
in athlete drinks and energy drink. The other is medium chain
triglycerides (MCT's oil) in oil form. Usually, it is indicated as MCT
on supplement and infant formula label. For those who want to improve
their performance, especially athletes, they should take supplement food
but not drugs.
Yet, in daily observation, the results are more
significant. So that, the best way to boost energy
and stamina is by consuming MCFA daily and not just during competition.
So that, not only athlete, but all people
can take virgin coconut oil to boost their energy for their daily
activity.
Besides, it also could improve the
metabolism and protect
from illness and accelerate the remedial. The cells in body could be
more efficient, wound could be healed faster, and the dead cells could
be replaced with new cells faster.
Several health problems such as
obesity, acute myocardial infarction and osteroclerosis are easily happen to
people with low metabolism. Health condition will worsen if
metabolic rate is lower than normal metabolism, because the cell can never
get cured
and turn over a new leaf quickly. By increasing the metabolic rate,
it could improve the protection from degenerative diseases and
contagious diseases. |
