The Benefits of Lauric Acid in Coconut
Coconut water is excellent for hydration, the flesh is high in fibre, and coconut oil has antibacterial properties. But coconut contains lauric acid. Lauric acid is a medium-chain triglyceride that can be directly absorbed by your body and used immediately for energy. It is converted within the body to monolaurin. Monolaurin directly impacts immunity in breast feeding infants. Science now shows a correlation between lauric acid and increased immunity in adults.
