The first and only molecular refined palm based cooking oil rich in Natural Carotenes, Tocotrienols & Tocopherols (Vitamin E) and Co-enzyme Q10

The message isn’t to add lots of oil because we think it’s good for us, because that’s just adding lots of calories,” she says. Red palm oil is a great source of nutrients and antioxidants, but factors such as its saturated fat content can create complications for some people. In recent years, coconut oil, which is around 90% saturated fat, has become the latest trendy “superfood”. It’s been hailed as a superfood (including that it's less likely to be stored in the body as fat and more likely to be expended as energy) – but one Harvard University epidemiologist calls it “pure poison”.

They’re characterised by their high fat content, including saturated fat, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Mediators of Inflammation: “Supplementation with red palm oil increases β-carotene and vitamin A blood levels in patients with cystic fibrosis.” However, some research suggests these health benefits could be partly driven by other components in the diet, rather than olive oil. One review of evidence found that the only benefit of olive oil independent of the Mediterranean diet was its ability to raise levels of beneficial cholesterol HDL.

However, consuming olive oil by following the Mediterranean diet was associated with improved glucose levels, which is associated with a greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes if it is too high. It also reduced the level of triglycerides, a type of fat in the blood, and LDL cholesterol levels. Consuming too much saturated fat – more than 20g for women and 30g for men per day, according to UK guidelines – makes the body produce cholesterol in our bodies that increases the risk of heart disease. Once we shift the balance of saturated fat to unsaturated fatty acids, we should then be able to choose the oil we prefer.” CAROTINO® Premium is a nutritious cooking/salad oil which is rich in phytonutrients such as Natural Carotenes, Tocotrienols & Tocopherols (Vitamin E), Co-enzyme Q10 and is also cholesterol free. Facts About CAROTINO PREMIUMResearchers reviewed 30 studies where participants’ diets were altered to test the effects of olive oil, and found that the Mediterranean diet led to lower glucose levels and higher LDL compared to the Western diet. Intervening that diet with olive oil, where it had a high polyphenol content, further increased HDL. The competition is open to UK residents only, aged 18 and over. Ts&Cs apply.
