As one of the more versatile supplements out there, this power packed oil comes in many forms and has a large list of possible recipes to incorporate into your daily routine. Here are just a few examples of the amazing benefits of using coconut oil.

Digestion

Coconut oil contains saturated fats that aid in the digestion process. Allowing the body to absorb necessary vitamins and nutrients will assist in our nutrition plan and help our body maximize what we are putting into it. Another added benefit about our digestion, coconut oil can also increase our energy and also jump start our metabolism.
