Destroys Harmful Microorganisms in the Body
The coconut oil contains about 50% of the fatty acids which has about 12-carbon laurin acid. The carbon lauric acid forms a substance called monolaurin when it is digested. Both lauric and monolaurin helps to kill harmful pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Coconut oil also helps the absorption of other nutrients such as vitamins and minerals. Another study shows that coconut oil can eradicate candida albicans, which causes yeast infection in human. Monolaurin also believes to be potent against Helicobacter pylori bacteria. [7]
