Coconut Oil Supplements

Post by grannykathy »

So I was googling ways to incorporate more coconut oil into my diet and discovered there is a coconut oil supplement. Is this an reasonable option or should I stick to adding it to food.

Personally, I like (refined) coconut oil for frying. For supplements, I take fish oil capsules and flax seed oil capsules.

i took jarrow coconut oil supplements when I wanted to do mega doses

I personally can not tolerate fish oils, or flax seed so coconut oil is one of the main ones i cook with, and ingest.

Thank you - just ordered it from Amazon. (I'm about to go broke keeping Amazon in business). How many capsules a day would you recommend?

with anything in MC world, start slow and work up gradually.... every one is differnt

start with one, wait a week. if you are still having C type symptoms then increase to two
by then you will have enterolab results and tweaking your eating plan will be the main focus

ONLY Make one change at a time, that way if you react to something you can track what it is
