In additional to its benefits as a dietary supplement, liquid coconut oil is great to use as a carrier oil for essential oil suppositories. Coconut oil is antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal.

Fractionated coconut oil is a fraction of the coconut oil from which almost all the long-chain triglycerides are removed, leaving mainly the medium-chain triglycerides and making it an absolutely saturated oil. This saturation gives it a very, very long shelf life and greatly increased stability. In addition, fractionating raises the comparative concentration of capric acid and caprylic acid, thus giving it a higher antioxidant and disinfecting effect.

• Remains liquid even at refrigerator (40°F) temperatures
• Flavored naturally from coconut oil
• Has a higher percentage of short-chain triglycerides than regular coconut oil, lowering its melting temperature
• An easily digested fat source that is absorbed well but tends not to become stored as body fat (It has been used by people who have had gastric bypass or pancreatic enzyme insufficiencies.)
• Contains C8 and C10 fatty acids but also contains a reasonable percentage of the C12 (lauric acid) fatty acids (Lauric acid has been described as the body’s source of monolaurin, which is produced internally and has reputed health benefits.)
• Supports weight management
