Who would have intriguingly thought that virgin coconut oil (VCO) can help ease symptoms leading to one potentially having the COVID-19 virus? And it was proven through a study conducted by none other than the Department Of Science And Technology's Food and Nutrition Research Institute (DOST-FNRI) which aims to sought the beneficial effects of VCO among suspect and probable COVID-19 cases. The study conducted in Calamba, Laguna was proven to be successful as all of the 28 test patients receiving standardized meals mixed with VCO have their signs and symptoms leading to COVID-19 being slowly but surely diminished in just 18 days.
The diminishing COVID-19 signs and symptoms within these patients are supported by the decreasing levels of C-reactive Protein (CRP), a marker used to monitor inflammation and infections. Although the results of the DOST-FNRI study was highly impressive, it is without question that many Filipinos are having difficulty ingesting coconut oil in its purest and original form and there has not been a solution to this dilemma until recently. Enter GROWRICH Virgin Coconut Oil Capsules, the world's healthiest oil providing benefits for the face, body, hair and skin that can easily pop into your mouth and is ideal for countries where colder weather causes oil to harden and freeze. These capsules are extracted from fresh coconut meat by natural means and protects the oil's integrity as it is not exposed to air; thus, preventing itself from being rancid.
Every GROWRICH VCO Capsule contains saturated and unsaturated fatty acids as well as heart-friendly fatty acids. On the other hand, VCO is extracted from a single press of fresh coconut meat that has been grated and dried for two hours at a temperature of less than 40°C. Therefore, it is more premium than other coconut oils considering that a second press is not needed. GROWRICH VCO Capsules have antioxidant properties that help build and maintain the immune system; boost energy and vitality; improve the body's ability to absorb important minerals; promote weight loss; keep blood sugar in check; aid in treating bacterial, fungal and viral infections; reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes and cancer; lower cholesterol; help improve poor skin texture and reduce falling hair; prevent constipation; promote lauric acid in breastfeeding mothers; and help in the proper distribution of nutrients.
