Coconut Oil for your Gut Health


Coconut oil is largely made up of Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) like lauric acid. These are comparable to MCTs established in breast milk, as stated by Dr. Bruce Fife, in a piece of writing at the Coconut Research Center website. Fife emphasized the advantages of MCTs in helping digestion and reinforcing the immune system to combat bacteria, parasitic and fungal infectivity. Fife also clarified that average chain triglycerides convert into antimicrobial means within your digestive tract. When consumed, coconut oil’s anti-microbial properties become activated after triglycerides are converted into monoglycerides and free fatty acids in the digestive tract. Monolaurin, the monoglyceride of lauric acid has the greatest overall anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal effect. All of them work together synergistically to provide the strongest germ-killing effect. They are enclosed in a lipid (fat) membrane and lipid coated viruses & bacteria are absorbed into the organisms outer membrane. These fats have a destabilizing effect which weakens the membrane to the point that it disintegrates and falls apart, killing the microorganisms. This process is so effective it can kill even the supergerms that have become resistant to antibiotics.

Coconut oil basically goes in and eradicates harmful bad bacteria in our digestive tract. That leaves the digestive/intestinal track in excellent health. By continuing to consume coconut oil the digestive tract will resume stability and support colon well-being. Studies have shown that coconut oil also plays a key role in healing and soothing inflamed tissues along the digestive tract. If you are battling painful conditions like colitis, Crohn’s, or ulcers, coconut oil will aid to some degree in soothing the pain and discomfort you might be experiencing.

Advanced medicine has finally started using coconut oil for its medicinal features, even though additional scientific studies are required to back up assertions of its helpfulness for aiding in intentional disorders. Despite the need for assertions, it still pays to use coconut oil for both prevention and treatment of intestinal and digestive issues.
