I did some research about coconut oil a few months ago as a good friend introduced. There are generally 2 schools of thought. Many health benefits were mentioned such as raise good cholesterol, weight management, improve gum related conditions, improve skin issue like Eczema, improve memory and even slow down Alzheimer condition in those articles. Most of these benefits are due the anti-inflammatory properties of this so called superfood made of mainly fatty acid of medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) and lauric acid. The other school says it is saturated fat is not good for health.


But we brought a bottle and started trying, and still using today. My wife use it for gum pulling and it seems to work in reducing the gum inflammation within a few days. She also use on her skin as she has Eczema, it seems to help to smooth the skin and reduce dryness. We also started to use the oil in moderation in our diet, such as cooking, baking and even added a few drops to our coffee. heehee.

When I research on the best quality type of coconut oil, an article says that the hot extracted virgin coconut oil is better because the heating process gives it a higher antioxidant content. But it was difficult to find the HEVCO oil in Singapore. Mostly are cold pressed. Finally I found the oil of OriHealth brand. This is a Halal certificated and manufactured in our neighboring country, Malaysia. So I brought one from a U Stars supermarket outlet near my place. The oil meets my needs as it could be use for cooking, apply to skin and safe to consume directly. Honestly, the taste is better than I thought.

Anyone know of any other hevco brand oil? Please share if you do.

Hope the above sharing helps.
