I remember seeing something that coconut oil isnt good to take with mepron. I havent actually taken coconut oil with it, but I plan to.
Really? If you find where you saw that..please let me know.I'm pretty sure I saw it on a thread on this forum.
Found it.....
www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=30&m=3569542So the study used Fractionated Coconut oil...which removes the long-chain fatty acids...that could affect the amount of fat...I'm thinking????
From that thread
"The following study indicates that Mepron absorbed with Fractionated Coconut Oil is inferior to Mepron absorbed with butter. Standard Coconut Oil and Fractionated Coconut Oil share primarily the same type of fat (medium chain triglycerides) so is it correct to assume standard coconut oil is also inferior to butter for mepron absorption? I would be interested to know what other fat sources members of the community have used successfully with mepron."
Fractionated coconut oil, also called “liquid coconut oil,” fit our requirements. Basically, it is a form of the oil that has had the long-chain fatty acids removed via hydrolysis and steam distillation. Just this one change makes the oil liquid at room temperature, and extends the product’s shelf life.
There are three basic types of fatty acids—short-chain, medium-chain, and long-chain. Long-chain fatty acids have more carbon atoms, which means they require higher temperatures to melt. Fats that are solid at room temperature have longer chain lengths—thus, coconut oil.
One of the fatty acids that’s mostly removed in fractionation is lauric acid—a type of “healthy” saturated fat found in high quantities in coconut and palm kernel oils. It’s a great fat to have in skin care because it’s so moisturizing and cleansing. Removing it, though, gives us the liquid product we need to use in items like our Herbal Facial Oils.
Once the lauric acid and other long-chain fatty acids are gone, you’re still left with a lot of good stuff, including medium chain fatty acids like capric, caprylic, myristic and palmitic, all of which retain their super-moisturizing capabilities. You also still have the natural antioxidants, which protect from environmental stressors, and nutrients like vitamins A, C, and E, which help maintain a tighter, firmer look.
