Virgin Coconut Oil

[MissMilcah37]

Has anyone tried this as a supplement? I've read that there are a lot of benefits in the intake on VCO. 

[scrapbookjunkie]

kami dati umiinon nito, kaso nung naubos, nakalimutan ng bumili. ok naman, nakakaboost ng energy, lalo na kung medyo not feeling well. sa store ni cory quirino sa greenhills kami bumibili. and before, may coconut shop sa may loyola heights, forgot the name lang. when we went back, nagsara na sila. ewan ko lang kung san sila nagtransfer.

Hmmm... Maybe instead of taking it in, pwedeng sya na lang gawing cooking oil. Many of the vegetable oil sold in supermarkets are really coconut oil when you check the ingredients.

^nabasa ko nga yan sis.. i wonder sino dito ang nakakuha ng ganyang epekto.

4tbs of vco? ganun karami? tried it kaso as energy boost lang 1tbs sa hot milk coffee ko every am,,,i used coco licious,p165 / bottle,,ok lasa parang young coco or buko,,..then as deep hair conditioner,,,honestly some hospitals used vco to preterm babies,,dr.advised to add 0.3ml vco to breastmilk for additional natural caloric intake and for anti fungal as well,,so far wala akong nakita tumabang babies yet they are fit and healthy....

i used to take vco tablets.  pero i stopped na.  moved on to other supplements kasi but i still use vco on my son's dry spots bec of atopic dermatitis and for my hair din.  ok siya.

I switched to expeller-pressed coconut oil cooking oil.

Para hindi na kelangan i-take sya deliberately, kasi part na ng diet.

Marca Leon yung akin, and it comes in an opaque light green bottle.

3 yrs akong nagtake nito. liquid form. super pumayat ako. nakakawalang gana after taking this. feeling ko nasusuka ako. anyway, i had to stop kase tumaas cholesterol ko. too bad.
doctor said kahit daw nakalagay na 0cholest, meron pa rin daw. depende siguro sa tao.

[rae]

Gano karami yung tine-take mo per day... Baka kapag binawasan ok lang?

[mariebiscuit]

i think 1tbs is enough to take on daily basis,,dami good suggestions sa coco.com,,can be use in making mayonaise,baking,coco pulling etc..

Last time I bought VCO was Grace brand from ABS Herbs, and when I opened the bottle the oil was smelled rancid! As in, nakaksuka talaga yung amoy so I just threw it away. Can any of you ladies recommend a brand? Preferably one that taste fresh and good?

[mariebiscuit]

actually  binibili ng mga mothers for their babies is vco,,prescribed kasi ng  pedia doctors for preterm babies ,,,i bought cocolicious vco in manson drugstore,,taste young coco or buko,, also checked for expiration date...

[crystalcornerstone]

^ thanks for the info, il keep an eye out for cocolicious brand, sana meron dito sa drugstores/groceries sa south.

[mariebiscuit]

last day nagkita kami ng friend ko,,ang laki ng pinayat nya, she took 10 ml of vco then one glass of water before meal so ang siste less food intake na sya kasi nga naman nauna na vco so wala na gana kumain,,,hindi ko ata matake puro vco so mix lang sa coffee sakin...

[rae]

pano yung mix sa coffee? edi, naka-float sya. How is it?

[cristyles]

Sis mariebiscuit every before meal ba niya ginagawa yung 10 ml.VCO then one glass of water? i want to try it para mabawasan weight ko kahit 5 lbs.

I like taking VCO with hot chocolate. This is how I prepare my hot chocolate:

1 square Ricoa Baking Chocolate, finely chopped or grated (this is the best for me. Just pure chocolate, no substitutes, no additives)
1 Tbsp VCO
1 Tbsp Heavy Cream (optional for those who don't like this)
1/2 to 3/5 cup of hot water (depending on how thick you want the chocolate)

Heat the VCO until it is just warm -- do not overheat or you will burn the chocolate.
Remove the VCO from heat and add the chocolate. Whisk until melted. If the VCO cools before the chocolate is melted return to heat but ONLY 3 SECONDS at a time,. It's critcal that you don't burn the chocolate.
Add the hot water and heavy cream. (For those who don't like heavy cream you can add hot milk instead of the cream and water). Return to the heat and whisk until almost boiling.

Add your flavoring - I like chilli pepper or vanilla -- and add your sweetener to taste along with a pinch of salt. My preferred sweetener is Stevia because I cannot have sugar.
