It has no cholesterol and no dangerous trans-fats found in other oils. Coconut fats are processed directly in the liver without putting strain on the digestive system and are highly recommended for those who have difficulty digesting fats.

Hints and tips:

How much coconut oil should I take?

Researchers state that the optimal amount for an adult is between 3 and 4 tablespoons per day. It is best to use coconut oil three times a day at meal times. We recommend that you begin with a smaller amount and build up to the recommended dosage if necessary.

Does Melrose Coconut Oil need to be refrigerated?

No, it does not need to be refrigerated. It is solid at room temperature and liquid at body temperature. In colder climates, at least for most of the year, the oil is solid. It can be made liquid by standing the container in a pan of warm water - never microwave! The natural antioxidants give it a very long shelf life. Store out of direct sunlight.

What's the best way to use Coconut Oil?

Coconut oil cannot be destroyed by heat, therefore it is an excellent oil to use whenever high temperatures are needed, such as stir frys. Since it is stable cooking oil, you can simply replace unhealthy oils in the diet with it. Being solid most of the time at room temperature, it can be a butter or margarine substitute for spreads or for baking. Any recipe calling for butter, margarine, or any other oil can be substituted with it. Many people simply eat it by the spoonful.

Coconut oil can also be massaged into the skin for external applications and is often used as an ingredient for home made cosmetics
