Coconut Oil: Main Image

How to Use It

The traditional diets of Pacific Islanders contains several grams per day or more of lauric acid from coconut products, which would require at least one tablespoon per day of coconut oil. Research has not established a recommended intake for coconut oil.

Coconut oil can also be used topically, as in the treatment of head lice.

Where to Find It

Coconut oil may be found in many types of processed foods, including fried foods, crackers, desserts, candies, whipped topping, and non-dairy creamers. It is also available in some grocery stores for use in cooking.

Possible Deficiencies

There is no human requirement for coconut oil or the shorter-length fatty acids it contains, so no deficiency is possible.
