NSI Extra Virgin Certified Organic Coconut Oil -- 16 oz

NSI Extra Virgin Certified Organic Coconut Oil -- 16 oz

Promotes balanced cholesterol levels. Healthy Cooking oil made from certified organic coconuts. How does Extra Virgin Certified Organic Coconut Oil work? Coconut oil is a healthier, unprocessed oil that may help promote balanced cholesterol levels. Coconut Oil is rich in fatty acids containing lauric acid (found in mother's milk), medium-chain fatty acids which are metabolized and converted to energy. This is why baby formulas often include coconut oil. In the past coconut oil had been mistakenly considered unhealthy however, coconut oil is cholesterol free and rich in medium chain "good fats" that doctors recommend. NSI Extra Virgin Certified Organic Oil is versatile, so it can be used as a high heat cooking oil, baking substitute, or butter replacement on bread and vegetables. NSI Extra Virgin Certified Organic Coconut Oil is better because it:. Organic. Has a longer shelf life. Offer superior supplementation at a fraction of the cost of other brands currently on the market.  . Did You Know? All NSI supplements are packaged in HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) bottles. These bottles keep moisture vapor out, protecting the freshness and integrity of their contents, and are 400% more effective compared other brands currently using PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles. HDPE bottles do not break as glass can and are also recyclable so we urge you to please recycle them.

"I had read that a product such as this was excellent for my dog's coat. Honestly, I should have bought more than one container because I have two dogs and I was out before I knew it. Therefore, I wasn't able to see any results in regards to that. What I loved about this product is how INSANE my dogs went for it! They acted as if it were the best thing I had EVER added to their dog food in their whole 11 years! I plan on buying more next time as I'm sure the assurances that my dogs' coats will improve are valid. Even if it ends up not being true, I'll buy it just to make them happy."

"My favorite coconut oil up until now has been the Nutiva, I use it instead of butter on stuff like muffins. This has great texture and taste, just the smallest hint of coconut smell and flavor which is what I like. The 54 oz size is the better value. This will be my new go to cc oil."

Delicious Beauty Aid!, December 18, 2008
By MariaTortilla from Los Angeles

"If you're looking to supplement your diet with a rich, delicious, lower-calorie oil that doubles as a skin creme, then this product "fits the bill".

I bought this product to counteract the dry, 'winter-skin' syndrome and it's definitely helping.

It has a smooth, delicious taste and fresh, natural coconut scent, and I supplement my diet with a tsp. or 2 a day to add a little extra oil/sheen to my skin.

In addition, it makes a great face/body moisturizer when added to a softer oil such as extra virgin olive oil. This mixture removes make-up very quickly, and can also be used as an overnight moisturizer.

The coconut oil tones down any "super shiny" oily residue left from the olive oil, after just a few minutes. Note that it does take a few hours for the coconut oil to fully dissolve into the olive oil."

"I just tried NSI extra virgin coconut oil for the first time. For cooking, I prefer coconut oil vs extra virgin coconut oil for milder flavor and aroma, but NSI doesn't have both. Can't beat the price, so it's a bit of a trade-off. My hubby eats it out of the jar and isn't that fussy about texture. We do eat it spread on toast and again, I prefer the milder flavor. So far, I've noticed none of the leaking that other reviewers have experienced, but I didn't purchase in the heat of the summer, either. It's a nice option for the price, but not my favorite type of coconut oil."

"The product itself is actually very high quality, but the container it is packaged in is terrible. First of all, when I received the product, some of the contents had leaked all over the other products in the package even though it was still tightly sealed. Next, there is no good way to pour the product from the huge opening at the top. Therefore, you must spoon it out and it tends to get all over the place. If anyone at NSI is reading this review, you really need to change to package so that it is more like a bottle that holds oil, large circumference at the bottom going up to a small opening at the top. That being said, once I transferred the product to another container, it was fine and it seems to be extremely high quality. I will not purchase this product again in its current form"

"The freaking packaging for this liquid OIL was a wide lipped screw top. What??? Everytime you open the jar, you're afraid that you'll accidentally spill it. They need to make the opening somewhat accident proof.

Also this coconut oil doesn't state whether or not it's unrefined. Unrefined virgin young coconut oil is the absolute best, if you can find it. But this one, once again, does not state whether it is refined or unrefined."

"I have used several coconut oils, and although this one is pretty good, it is not my favorite. When solid it is quite hard, the texture is not nearly as smooth or creamy as some other brands and the flavor was just OK. I do not feel that this product is superior to other extra virgin organic coconut oil products that I have tried. I would recommend it for cooking (frying)."
