Made from certified organic coconuts, the production is certified organic by a USDA approved Certifier. Because of the production method, the coconut oil we provide retains plant sterols and tocotrienols.  About 50 percent of coconut oil is lauric acid, which the body converts into monolaurin. Laboratory studies show that monolaurin inactivates some bacteria and viruses including the influenza virus.Virgin Coconut oil with its medium chain fatty acids are unlike other "saturated" fats as the body handles them differently and they are rapidly absorbed into the blood stream. It is extremely beneficial for immune function. Coconut is free of cholesterol and is a healthy, energy-boosting fat that will not increase cardiovascular disease. Nature‘s Approved® Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is not refined bleached or deodorized (RBD) and in this pure virgin form retains the health natural to coconuts including the medium chain fatty acids and the 50% lauric acid now recognized as highly beneficial. Processing is from expeller pressing the chopped and dried coconut meat.
