| Frequently Asked Questions About
Grace Virgin Coconut Oil |
| |
- What is Virgin Coconut Oil
(VCO)?
An oil obtained from the fresh, mature kernel of the coconut by
mechanical or natural means, with or without the use of heat,
without undergoing chemical refining, bleaching or deodorizing,
and which does not lead to the alteration of the nature of the
oil. It is suitable for consumption without the need for further
processing. Is called a “functional food.” The active component is
Lauric Acid – a medium chain fatty acid (MCFA) a.k.a medium chain
triglyceride which is converted to monolaurin in the body that
helps boost the immune system and fights microorganisms.
(Philippine Coconut Authority)
- What does Virgin Coconut oil
do?
Based on the studies gathered by Dr. Bruce Fife and clinical
studies done by Dr. Conrado Dayrit, Virgin Coconut oil is good
for:
| Immune System |
Diabetes |
Boost Energy |
| Obesity |
Atherosclerosis |
Hypertension |
| Thyroid Problems |
Skin Health |
Constipation |
| Hypercholesterolemia |
Allergies |
Indigestion |
- What are the attributes of
VCO?
Virgin Coconut Oil is one of the most stable oils and is highly
resistant to rancidity. It is stable because of its high
proportion of saturated fats. (It is the unsaturated fats in the
common seed oils that are easily oxidized and susceptible to
rancidity.) VCOl is mild on the skin and is widely used in the
tropics to protect both skin and hair from the harsh effect of the
sun. Film forming qualities allow it to act as a skin moisturizer
and protect against moisture loss. Its natural detergency and
lathering capabilities give a double purpose as a cleansing agent
for soaps and shampoos.
- Why is it called “Virgin?”
VCO is labeled as “Virgin” because it is not subjected to
extreme heat, no substances/ solvents are added in the extraction
of the oil. If other substances are added into VCO it can no
longer be called “Virgin” but mere coconut oil.
- What is the shelf life of
coconut oil?
Refined coconut oil should last 1½ years without showing signs
of rancidity. Coconut Virgin Oil from the modern COLD press
process has an indefinite shelf-life usually lasting more than 2
years because of its stability and resiliency from
rancidity.
*A properly purified unrefined coconut
oil will keep much longer than refined oil and this applies to
other vegetable oils as well. Unrefined oils contain natural
anti-oxidant agents, which protect the oil against atmospheric
oxidation and rancidity. However, if the crude (unrefined) oil is
of poor quality and has sufficient impurities and moisture, it
will undergo hydrolysis which in turn increases the free fatty
acid content. The result of this is deterioration of taste and
flavour. High quality crude oil can be achieved with proper
selection of materials, process, and the nature of the plant
species.
- I have heard that saturated
fats are unhealthy. Does this mean that VCO is unhealthy?
NO! In fact it merits the description given its source: the
"tree of life". Popular belief used to hold that coconut oil was
unhealthy by virtue of its high level of saturated fat. However,
not all saturated fats are alike and current research shows that
the fatty acids in coconut oil, the medium chain triglycerides, do
not raise serum cholesterol or contribute to heart disease like
the long chain triglycerides found in seed oils. Coconut oil is
easily digested and is not deposited as fat in arteries because it
is metabolized directly without passing through the carnitine
transport system.
- What does scientific
research indicate?
VCO has natural anti-oxidant and acts as anti-oxidant itself.
VCO is rich in fatty acids that have natural antiviral and
antibacterial properties. Virgin Coconut oil contains Monolaurin
which is the same anti-microbial agent found in human's mother's
milk. Caprylic and Capric acids (medium chains) are relatively and
uniquely high in coconut oil diminishing the requirements of
essential fatty acids.
- Are all natural coconut oils
virgin oils?
No. Virgin Coconut Oil is natural but not all natural
coconut oil are virgin. When you add any synthetic substances such
as flavorings into VCO it can no longer be called
“Virgin.”
- How do you distinguish
virgin coconut oil from other oils?
In texture and viscosity it is one of the lightest oils on the
market - lighter than fractionated coconut oil known to aroma
therapists. It absorbs quickly leaving no oily after - feel. It
retains a light sweet coconut taste (NOT a roasted taste), and
natural aroma, melts easily and quickly upon touch,
is colorless and clear when melted. When solidified, it is
colored pure white (white is the color for purity). Any darkening
or yellowish color shows that the VCO maybe rancid/ spoiled. Shelf
life is longer than refined coconut oil and much longer than
village pressed oils.
- What are the differences
between commercial (copra) oil and Virgin coconut oil?
On most accounts, premium grade coconut oils are fresh,
natural, and wholesome. The oil is recovered within hours after
opening the coconuts while copra oil takes at least 1.5 months.
Because Virgin Coconut oil is unrefined, it contains natural
vitamin E and naturally occurring antioxidants that are normally
destroyed by refining or heating in other processes. Virgin
Coconut oil is more expensive than refined or crude oil as most
Virgin coconut oils use only selected raw materials, and
experience lower production yield as there is only one pressing.
The following table shows a snapshot of the difference of VCO and
Refined, Bleached, Deodorized (RBD) coconut oils.

- What is organic VCO?
Organic VCO is one that has been certified by specific agencies
to adhere to certain standards. However, organic certification
agencies do not distinguish between copra and non-copra oils and
they do allow for solvent use under certification rules. In
effect, organic certification of coconut oil is not a guarantee of
naturalness in the sense that it is promoted as such in first
world countries.
- Is Coconut oil a "seed"
oil?
No. In oil trading, seed oils are considered to be those from
annual crops. Common and predominant ones used in North America
are Soybean, Corn, Canola, Safflower, Sesame seed, and Sunflower
seed oil. Coconut oil comes from the fruit of the coconut
tree.
- How do I use Virgin
Coconut oil?
VCO can be used as cooking oil, lotion and as supplement. It
can be used as regular health supplement. It is recommended to
take 2-3 tablespoons a day 30 minutes before meals.
- Does Virgin Coconut oil
have any side effects?
No side effects are documented. Loose stool is the most common
reported effect of coconut oil.
- Can Virgin Coconut oil be
used together with my medications?

foods. Thus, it can be used as a dietary adjunct or
supplement.
- What is the difference of
Grace Virgin Coconut Oil with other VCO brands?

meat, extracted using cold-pressed mechanical method. It is not
subjected to heat. It is applied to a super-centrifuge machine to
spin of water, thereby reducing moisture content to the barest
minimum. The consumer will get a VCO with a high-lauric acid
