Hi Brian

These guys used to sell them (www.virgincoconutoil.co.uk) but say that you get such a small amount per capsule that you'd need to take 6 to equal one tablespoon, which isn't cost-effective.

Because you've posted in the Skin/Hair/Nails forum I'm not sure if you are wanting to take VCO capsules internally, or use it topically? Either way my suggestion would be to consider buying the VCO in a tub. If you are wishing to take capsules because you don't like the smell/taste of coconut then I can fully recommend the VCO [url]Higher Nature[/url] brand, which has no coconut smell or taste. [Personally I like the smell of coconut, but I bought Higher Nature VCO cos it was on sale at the time.]

You may be interested in looking at what remedies there are for VCO in [url]Earth Clinic[/url]. They suggest all sorts of uses. Fascinating reading!

Coconut flesh is white, and so coconut oil derived from it is white. So, no, coconut oil is not bleached - white is just the colour coconut oil is. I gave a link to Higher Nature in my last post. If you have a wee look you'll find out all you need to know about their coconut oil. You can email them too - they are a good company and reply quickly.

ITS BAD i ve read

If you are worried that coconut oil is bad for you then, well, I guess the right thing for you is to not buy/use it. I love it, and am quite happy with it. But I'm certainly not going to pressure you into buying/using it. Just do what you feel is right for you.
