I take virgin coconut oil for 2 years now. I believe it helps me to boost my energy. It is antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial so it is good for us. I has no trans fat so it is good to our heart and helps to lose weight.

I used to use virgin coconut oil all the time, I don't know why I stopped. I would spread it on toast in the morning. Originally I wanted to use it lose weight. That doesn't work for me. But I did feel very healthy and have a lot of energy. It is also very good for you hair and skin. I like to put on my hair a couple of times a month and go sit out in the sun, kind of like a hot oil treatment. When I wash it out my hair is pretty and shiny. I also used to rub it into my skin at night time, it kept it soft and young looking.

I am so glad that you asked this question. We have been buying the organic virgin coconut oil for about a year now. I had no idea what benefits that it has until I went searching on the web.

Here is a site that I found that seems to have a really good article on the benefits of the coconut oil. http://www.organicfacts.n...

The first paragraph of the article states the following:
"The health benefits of coconut oil include hair care, skin care, stress relief, maintaining cholesterol levels, weight loss, increased immunity, proper digestion and metabolism, relief from kidney problems, heart diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, HIV and cancer, dental care, and bone strength. These benefits of coconut oil can be attributed to the presence of lauric acid, capric acid and caprylic acid, and its properties such as antimicrobial, antioxidant, antifungal, antibacterial, soothing, etc. The article just gets better from this paragraph on. There is an offering for 50 recipes using coconut oil, but you have to purchase them as an e-book. If a person just googles "benefits of coconut oil," they will find all sorts of good articles on this.

I went to the web site of the brand of coconut oil that I buy and found a lot of good information and a good blogging discussion on the oil as well. I think I am going to switch from all the moisturizers that I have been using and see if this works better. I also would like to try this out on my hair. It may be a good option to spread on my toast instead of butter, also. I am excited to try this! Oh, here is the website for this: http://nutiva.com/products/10_coconut.php

My daughter claims that she breaks out from coconut oil, so you may want to try a small part of your skin first to make sure you can use it as with anything.

I just put some on and it is very soft and nice smelling.

We are lucky here in the Philippines the supply of coconut is abundant. The purchasing of virgin coconut oil is not difficult. But I think the price is expensive. I hope the benefits of it would be recognize by some. The taste is not a problem because some brands have a flavor like banana, jackfruit, and sweet corn. For those who want to take the virgin coconut for the first I advice you should buy the flavored one.

yes, but did you know that there's a recent study being conducted here in the Philippines showing that it has an adverse effect on mice? that's why sooner or later, these virgin coconut oil will be banned and pulled out of the market. Let's wait for the confirmation of BFAD/DOH. :)


myLot reputation of 98/100. agv0419 (2934)   ranked 81 out of 149 in herbal medicines  3 years ago

I don't believe that. I'm also a Filipino I think they want to alarmed the people for not using it. Like what are happening now in the products have been recalled because of salmonella. As long as I don't feel anything bad in my body I'm going to continue taking it. Until it is not proven that is harmful to us I'm not going to believe that studies.


angeline17 (34)  3 years ago

ok, if you don't believe me then what can I do? it's all up to you. However, just for your information, this is not something that I can joke about, or I'm sorry if I've spoiled your happiness using this product. I'm just giving technical information based on facts. In the review center where I'm attending now, one of our mentor there is the one who've conducted the said study. He will be given a prize (forget about what kind of prize) because he was the first ever who have conducted studies about virgin coconut oil's adverse effects. No one attempted to do that since all of us believed it won't have any because of its numerous benefits. To be honest, I'm so much amaze and all of us were shock as we've here that, we're like "What???". So please be fair because it's really nothing personal.

I'm not angry I'm just expressing my opinion to the issue. Thanks for responding in my discussion. I really appreciate it and I hope you still continue.


myLot reputation of 84/100. kourdapya (244)  2 years ago

I think its just a hoax because those people are trying to put the coconut industry down for their personal objectives. It has been an issue long before vco became popular. I have done a lot of research about vco when I had psoriasis before.


ellaguevarra21 (1)  10 months ago

yes your right kourdapya.i had proven that vco is very effective .coz my daughter suffered eczema for 2 yrs and when i upon search the benefits of vco .i went to the herbal store bought it..and its really amazing ,my daughter's blisters cause of eczema ..or skin asthma ,continue healing.. even my cough ...i dont believe at first ,but i proved it to myself thats its really very effective..

Ok, I'm clueless on virgin coconut oil. A friend of mine mentioned it to me just the other day, praising it for giving her energy. Where do you buy your's at? health food store or the net? Is it a liquid, gel, or paste? Sorry to sound so stupid, but like I said, I'm clueless on this but have a big curiousity about it.


myLot reputation of 98/100. agv0419 (2934)   ranked 81 out of 149 in herbal medicines  3 years ago

I buy it in drug store here in the Philippines. It is in liquid like cooking oil you buy in the supermarket. I take in 2 tablespoons in a day. If are a new user to buy the flavored one because at first the taste is not pleasant. I take it together when I drinking chocolate or coffee to remove the after taste of it. If you get used to the taste you never care about the taste of it.


myLot reputation of 98/100. 4pawsx4 (774)  3 years ago

oh, ok. i thought it was something you could buy at a health food store. i can look in the grocery store the next time i go shopping. thanks for the response!! i appreciate it!

Yes, I believe in its health benefits because I used to take it too before. My only problem with this is I found it difficult to swallow since it is oil. And also the taste and the smell is so bad. But I use it as hot oil for my hair. Just leaving it on for 1 hour, then shampoo it. My hair has never been better, they think that I go to salons for expensive treatment but they dont know that thats only because of virgin coconut oil.

I've been using coconut oil, too and I must say that it's really good. I bought mine from http://products.mercola.com/coconut-oil/ I use it mainly for my skin and hair, and of course in cooking. It's really an amazing oil!
