We’re trying this new Virgin Coconut Oil Capsule from GROWRICH. It’s supposed to help boost our immunity to fight off, or relieve symptoms of Covid-19.
I’ve seen a few articles online about it, like this one “PH urged to tap VCO vs coronavirus, its variants” which says that virgin coconut oil (VCO) has already been proven in clinical studies by the Department of Science and Technology-Food and Nutrition Institute (DOST-FNRI) as an effective therapy against COVID-19.
I was sent a sample to try and of course, we’re always looking for ways to be strong against the virus, so I make sure family members take a capsule during meals.
It is VCO inside the normal gel capsule container. I was curious, so I opened the capsule and what’s inside really smells & tastes like fragrant coconut oil. It actually made me crave for kakanin because it reminded me of latik, haha.
This is what the capsules look like:
While virgin coconut oil is known as the world’s healthiest dietary oil, for some, there are issues in drinking VCO in its original form.
It could be the taste or the texture of VCO, and exposure to air can result in the oil having a rancid taste, making it unpalatable. In cold weather, it could also harden or freeze.
Introducing GROWRICH Virgin Coconut Oil Capsules, the first and only VCO in capsule form to be approved by the Food and Drugs Administration. GROWRICH Virgin Coconut Oil Capsule is the VCO you can easily pop into your mouth. The recommended dosage is 1-2 capsules per day with meals.
GROWRICH Virgin Coconut Oil Capsules are all-natural supplements that have many health and aesthetic benefits. These benefits include lowering LDL cholesterol, reducing the risk of one contracting cancer, strengthening the immune system, promoting weight loss and helping improve hair and skin.
Recent studies have shown that VCO is also effective in helping relieve the symptoms of indigestion, asthma, diarrhea, diabetes, sepsis (blood poisoning) in infants and recently, even COVID-19. In addition, VCO has been found to have antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral properties.
“GROWRICH Virgin Coconut Oil Capsules are different in potency and concentration from the liquid form of other brands. The dosage is more controlled and the quality is maintained. The after taste that comes when taking liquid VCO is also eliminated,” said Dr. Ed Lalusis, President and CEO of Growrich Manufacturing, Inc.
Growrich, a toll manufacturing company for the food and pharmaceutical industry, manufactures in accordance with the current Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) standards under the supervision of the Food and Drug Administration to ensure product quality and safety.
Every GROWRICH Virgin Coconut Oil Capsule contains saturated and unsaturated fatty acids and essential fatty acids that are heart-friendly and have antioxidant properties. Virgin coconut oil is extracted from a single press of fresh coconut meat that’s been grated and dried for two hours at a temperature lower than 40 degrees Celsius. It is more premium than other coconut oils because there is no second press, thus the yield per kg is lower than those produced from other processes.
GROWRICH Virgin Coconut Oil Capsules are available at Mercury Drug, Watsons and Southstar Drugstore for Php11.50 per capsule. You may also get them from Shopee (just search GROWRICH Virgin Coconut Oil).
