We are talking about coconut oil. The base component of coconut oil is lauric acid, which has very strong antiviral and antibacterial properties. It also protects against many diseases. Another source of lauric acid is breast milk, and it is known that milk builds infant’s immune system.
Another great coconut oil ingredient is caprylic acid. This acid stimulates the development of the good bacteria. Caprylic acid positively effects on the treatment of Candida as well as in the destruction of parasites found in the digestive system.
