For sports and day to day energy Nui organic coconut oil contains medium-chain triglycerides. MCTs provide a quick, absorbable source of natural energy with minimal strain on the digestive system. Triglycerides, a form of fat, are unique in their ability to be absorbed intact and utilized for energy. Compared to long and short-chain triglycerides, MCTs are particularly useful. Easily digested, absorbed and put to use nourishing the body, they are an ideal food source to help athletes and others maintain high energy levels, and to satisfy hunger pains.

It can also be mixed with fine Himalayan Crystal Salt for a skin scrub.

For lauric acid nutrition Coconut oil is an excellent food source of beneficial lauric acid. Also found as nutrient in lactating mothers’ milk, this fatty acid is useful for both infants and adults.

Free of carcinogenic trans-fat Trans-fats (also called trans-fatty acids) are the harmful, artery-clogging fats found in margarines, shortenings, biscuits and many other common, processed, refined foods. Since January 1, 2006, all food companies in the USA are required to list trans-fat on their products’ nutritional tables for consumer protection. There is an important distinction between trans-fat and other fats. Consumers need to know the difference. Trans-fat is the result of a chemical process known as “hydrogenation”, which converts liquid vegetable oil to a more solid product that lasts longer on store shelves and provides a good crispness to pastries. It is very economical for mass producers, but comes at the expense of health. If you see the term hydrogenation or "hydrolized" on a food label and are interested in good health, put the product back on the shelf. Not all products are labelled with their trans-fat ingredients, including certain bakery items.

Saturated fat vs. harmful trans-fat

Saturated fats have highly stable chemical structures, and are less likely to go rancid when stored, or when heated at high temperatures. Nui coconut oil has many other nutritional benefits as well:

Saturated fats raise levels of HDL (the ‘good’ cholesterol)	…while trans-fats lower HDL levels
Saturated fats conserve the elongated omega 3 fatty acids	…while trans-fats cause body tissues to lose these omega 3 fatty acids
Saturated fats can be used by the body to fight viruses, bacteria and protozoa, and support the immune system	…while trans-fats interfere with the function of the immune system
