By Victoria “NIKE” De Dios
It is undeniable that virgin coconut oil is the world’s healthiest dietary oil. While many would like to include VCO as part of their daily supplement, not many can take the VCO in its original liquid form for various reasons. Some don’t like the taste or texture of VCO. Apart from that, the exposure of VCO to air can also result in a rancid taste and making it unpalatable. In cold weather, the oil can solidify or freeze.
Banking on Filipinos’ ingenuity, the GROWRICH Virgin Coconut Oil Capsules came into being and become the first and only VCO in capsule form made by Filipinos and to get approval from the Food and Drugs Administration.
Brandishing the all-natural supplements that have many health and aesthetic benefits, GROWRICH Virgin Coconut Oil Capsules have other health benefits including the 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 Capsule is the VCO you can easily pop into your mouth. The recommended dosage is 1-2 capsules per day with meals.
Currently 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).
