Protects against heart disease by increasing good cholesterol and lowering the ratio of bad and good cholesterol

Helps to reduce the rate of being diabetic through the mechanism of slowing the release of sugar to the blood stream.

Kills diseases-causing bacteria, fungi, yeast and viruses because of the anti-microbial effects of its fatty acids.

Prevents strokes and brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson.

Boosts metabolism and increases energy because it is more likely to be burned as fuel than stored as body fat.
