Coconut Oil Capsules:
There's No Escape from
Coconut Oil's Benefits


Coconut oil capsules is a quick and easy alternative if you can't or won't take coconut oil any other way, whatever the reason may be. How you would like to benefit from the world's healthiest oil is your call, exclusively.

Because I love anything and everything about coconuts, I prefer to take coconut oil (CNO) by the spoonful. Plus of course, through my wife's delightful coconut recipes.

But if you're really considering taking this miracle oil in capsule or softgel form, bring out your calculator and let's do some mathematics first. Yayks!

A tablespoon contains more or less 15 grams of coconut oil. A capsule about half a gram. So if my math is correct, you will have to swallow around 30 capsules a day to receive a single tablespoon of coconut oil.

Jellies Anyone?

Coconut Oil CapsulesNow if you're recommended daily dosage of CNO is 3 tablespoons, you'll have to ingest 90 softgels per day. Now that's a lot of gelatin. I love jellies but I don't think I'm up to guzzling 120+ capsules a day, everyday for the rest of my life.

But if swallowing pills is second nature to you, go ahead. Hey, it's your choice. Just to be honest with you, I think the price difference is a rip-off.

And another thing, how sure are you that the gelatin used, usually from cows, is organic or safe? The cattle industry is not exactly one to refrain from antibiotics, growth hormones and/or synthetic chemical inputs.

And it's also standard practice to use mineral oil for the encapsulation process. And what is mineral oil? It's basically petroleum. Last time I checked, petroleum is for vehicles and factories, not for the human body.
