Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) is a type of coconut oil that is extracted from fresh coconuts without undergoing any chemical processing or heating. VCO is obtained by squeezing the fresh coconut meat and filtering to separate the oil from coconut water and residue. VCO is claimed to have many health benefits because it contains medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) fatty acids, which can be quickly used by the body as a source of energy and can help boost the immune system. Additionally, VCO also contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that can help protect the body from various diseases. VCO is often used as a natural ingredient in food, cosmetics, and medicinal products.
