Oil with triglycerides

COCONUT OIL: Organic extra-virgin coconut oil has a high percentage of medium-chain triglycerides, healthy fats that are otherwise hard to get (think breast milk). They promote heart health, help stabilize blood sugar, and are an excellent energy source, digesting easily and providing quick-burning fuel.

Serving Suggestions: Stir-fry with it, use it as a butter substitute, or swallow a tablespoon after training.
