Ubergreen Organic’s VCO has a significant role to play in a well-balanced, nutritious diet. VCO can be used for cooking, baking as well as frying. You can also consume Ubergreen VCO directly or mixed with food in its raw form for best results, Ubergreen Organics also produces flavored VCO’s to make your daily consumption as fun and healthy as possible. Ubergreen VCO is more of a functional food (i.e a food that provides benefits over and above the basic nutrients) compared to all the other oils available.
Immunity Booster
Ubergreen Organic’s VCO contains 64% Medium Chain Fatty Acids which are essential for a healthy body. 50% of Ubergreen VCO is made up of lauric acid, the most important essential fatty acid in building and maintaining the body’s immune system. Apart from VCO, the only other source of lauric acid found in such high concentrations is mother’s milk.
Increases metabolism and Fights weight gain
Unlike long chain fatty acids, the Medium Chain Fatty Acids in Ubergreen Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) are directly transported to the liver and immediately converted into energy and not fat like other Oils. They burn up quickly in the body and are put to use immediately, thereby nourishing the body. This helps control body weight and prevents all health problems which occur due to slow metabolism.
Improves HDL/LDL Ratio
Regular user of Ubergreen Organics VCO has shown to regularize blood fats and is known to create a more favorable HDL/LDL ratio, disproving the myth that coconut oil increases cholesterol and triglycerides significantly. Studies have shown that trans fat increases the risk of heart diseases as it raises the LDL. VCO has no trans fats being a naturally saturated oil, that does not undergo hydrogenation, a process that brings about the trans fat. The fats present in VCO are not harmful as commonly found in vegetable oils.
Control Diabetes
VCO has been shown to control the blood sugar levels and lessen the effects of diabetes.
