By working direct with farmers who own their land we ensure that the health and growth of the coconut trees is directly related to the success of the farming business.

Eating coconut oil in moderation is unlikely to cause severe side effects, but if you eat more than two tablespoons a day, you may experience an upset stomach or diarrhea. This may be related to how the body breaks them down. A proportion of MCTs you eat are broken down in a process that produces molecules called ketones ( 1). Reducing your carb intake reduces the glucose in your blood, and increasing your fat intake leads to significantly increased concentrations of ketones. Your brain can use ketones as an energy source instead of glucose ( 1).
