Is there Vitamin C in virgin coconut oil?




John_Wayne


Please post the source. Thanks in advance
To clarify I am not looking for the source all I want to know is the percentage of Vitamin C in Coconut oil



Answer
coconut oil - vit c:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i) no
ii)none.....thus vitamin c .....0%..

source: Nutrition Data, http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/fats-and-oils/508/2
(their original source: USDA's National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference, http://nutritiondata.self.com/help/about )

coconut milk - vit c:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following table gives you values for coconut milk from fresh coconut...both extracted with and without water: looks to be around 0.28% in both cases (2.8mg per 100g, or 0.0028g/100g, which =2.8%):
http://www.buzzle.com/articles/coconut-milk-nutritional-value.html
..canned coconut milk........1mg per 100g...thus 0.001% (same source).
..these will be approximations somewhat as each coconut may vary but i think you can still conclude that the vitamin c content of coconuts is thus pretty low.

Short answer to your specific Q's: no/percentage none.

Hope that helps.

Where to buy virgin coconut oil and Vatamin E?




Dennis Luc


Ive been looking everywhere but i cant seem to find it. Does anyone have any clue to where i can buy virgin coconut oil. I heard its good to get rid of acne scars. Would i be able to find it at rite aid and if so what section would it be in because i know it has variosue uses and how do i know if its virgin or not. Also where can i find Vatamin E capsules which i also hear is good for acne marks??


Answer
Virgin coconut oil you find at Whole foods stores and Vitamin Shoppe

also you can Google Natural Health stores on your state or country I don't
KNOW where do you live so I cannot recommend one :/

But Rite aid, CVS don't sell Virgin coconut oil I know I shop there every week.

Also you find Best place is Vitacost.com

But rite aid has Jason Vitamin E oil, Target carry Up and up Vitamin E
walmart carry Vitamin e oil, CVS, Walgreens.

But coconut is Only at Whole foods and Vitacost, Vitamin shoppe
