    Fight COVID-19 with ProSource Premium Coconut Products – Now available online.

    In view of how the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become an alarming global concern, and with a lot of fake news going around on how to combat the virus, it turns out hand-washing is still the best way to fight COVID-19 or any viruses for that matter.  Soap with anti-bacterial and anti-microbial components, is excellent in combating these viruses and bacteria that are present in our hands.

    Dr. Fabian M. Dayrit, Ph.D, of the Ateneo de Manila University recently published the benefits of coconut oil with its potent antiviral properties thanks to the presence of Lauric acid (C12). ProSource, one of the Philippines’ leading purveyors of premium coconut oil products, has made it its timely mission to make its array of world-class quality products, including Virgin Coconut Oil based, anti-bacterial and anti-microbial VCO soap readily accessible and available in the most convenient way.

    ProSource Organic Coconut Soap, mild yet potent for frequent handwashing.

    Apart from groceries and leading drugstores across the country, ProSource saw the value of entering the burgeoning e-commerce and online shopping space, as they recently partnered with Lazada, Southeast Asia’s leading ecommerce platform, Shopee and Beauty MNL, the go-to online beauty destination.

    Now, loyal and new ProSource users can shop for their favorite products with ease, on their smartphone or computer, and have these delivered straight to their doorstep.

    ProSource Virgin Coconut Oil: Rich in Lauric acid (C12) and its potent antiviral properties thanks to Lauric acid (C12).

    What this ultimately means is that enjoying the numerous benefits that ProSource premium coconut products provide has never been easier.

    There is also no denying how VCO can do wonders for you, especially in boosting your immune system during times like these.

    Another expert, world-renowned health-aging specialist Dr. Nicholas Perricone, asserts that VCO makes for an effective health supplement, especially with the presence of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA), which are metabolized into energy by the liver. It also has been noted that MCFA is well-suited for detoxifying as it contains antimicrobial anti-fungal properties and is also observed to increase good cholesterol and lower blood sugar levels.

    Coupled with a healthy and nutritious diet, it is suggested that taking a teaspoon of VCO before having breakfast is a good way to start. From there, one can increase their dosage to 1 to 2 tablespoons before every meal, until finally getting accustomed to having coconut oil as part of their daily diet and routine, 3 times a day. Let’s all get started towards good health and good hygiene by supplementing with VCO and VCO soap.

  • Give your immune system a boost with ProSource Virgin Coconut Oil and Nuco coconut-based products

    Give your immune system a boost with ProSource Virgin Coconut Oil and Nuco coconut-based products

    ProSource Virgin Coconut Oil, 100% organic and non-GMO, is a potent and natural way of avoiding illnesses, with its innate anti- inflammatory properties.

    As the Novel Coronavirus 2019 (nCoV-2019) has become an alarming global pandemic, with two cases now being reported in the Philippines, taking precautions towards one’s health and wellbeing has become essential. Besides not being able to report to work, the risky possibility of infecting others is also there.

    Apart from having frequently clean hands through regular washing, plus avoiding close contact with anyone who has fever and cough, one effective way to avoid falling ill is by boosting your immune system. And while a cure for 2019-nCoV is still being developed; thankfully, there exists a natural, scientifically-proven method of immune system strengthening—the intake of coconut oil!

    According to a paper entitled “The Potential of Coconut Oil as an Effective and Safe Antiviral Agent Against the Novel Coronavirus (nCov-2019)” authored by Fabian M. Dayrit, Ph.D, of the Ateneo de Manila University, and Mary T. Newport, M.D., of Springhill Nematology of Florida, USA, they have confirmed what has been known for many years: that Lauric acid (C12), a medium-chain fatty acid which makes up about 50% of coconut oil, and its derivative, monolaurin, a metabolite that is naturally produced by the body’s own enzymes upon ingestion of coconut oil and is also available in pure form as a supplement, possesses significant antiviral activity.

    Specifically, Sodium lauryl sulfate, a common surfactant that is made from lauric acid, has been shown to have potent antiviral properties. “Coconut oil and its derivatives have been shown to be safe and effective antiviral compounds in both humans and animals,” both eminent authors state. They therefore suggest that Coconut Oil be considered as a general prophylactic against viral and microbial infection.

    On a consumer level, what then are the best sources of C12 Lauric Acid? There’s coconut cooking oil which has 45% Lauric Acid; Coconut milk which has 15-25%; Desiccated Coconut and whole coconuts which have 16%; and Virgin Coconut Oil or VCO which has 45% Lauric Acid + Polyphenol antioxidants.

    Of course, it is worth stressing that not all VCO’s are created equal. The VCO you take has to be USDA certified organic, non-GMO, unbleached and unrefined, and should not be deodorized. For this, there’s only ProSource products!

    Founded in 1995, ProSource International now readily serves customers in North America, Asia, Australia, and Europe, providing an extensive range of the highest quality organic and conventional coconut products, all Halal and Kosher certified, and manufactured under GMP and HACCP systems.

    Among the healthful products you can enjoy include ProSource Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, NUCO Coconut Crunch, a grain-free cereal, and NUCO Coconut Wraps that come in original, cinnamon, turmeric and moringa flavors!

  • For healthy eating individuals, there’s ProSource and NUCO products

    For healthy eating individuals, there’s ProSource and NUCO products

    If you’ve noticed a significant change in food trends over the past decade, thank a millennial. Comprising of over 50% of the local workforce, millennials now make the largest age demographic in the Philippines. Thus, the interests and preferences of these young tastemakers can greatly influence what can be found in restaurants and other retail establishments across the country. 

    With more from this age group getting into the trend of a conscientious lifestyle, the popularity of healthful eating habits can be the push towards the golden days of coconuts. Known as the ‘Tree of Life’, the coconut is well on its way towards a renaissance with more millennials taking a liking to the magical fruit. In fact, according to Philippine Coconut Authority Administrator Romulo Arancon, the Philippines could potentially earn $450 million a year, given that the Philippines produces 15 billion nuts annually. 

    Time was when Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) or liquid coconut oil—which is made by refining raw coconut or palm—was considered the superior oil, as it processes smaller molecules than those in most of the fats you eat, and is mainly used to obtain helpful medium-chain triglycerides that are easily absorbed into your bloodstream as ready-to-use energy. Aside from that these are a special class of fat that your body turns into energy very quickly, with three main types,–namely; C8, C10, and C12, which each offers unique benefits, from fat loss to heightened immune function. 

    But since the process involved in separating MCT from VCO may include additives, these benefits are therefore negated. And recent studies have shown that Virgin Coconut Oil, which was once shunned for its high saturated-fat content, is now considered a superfood as it is rich in Lauric Acid, which the body converts into monolaurin that also serves as an antimicrobial agent.  

    With this in mind, and following extensive research, local coconut producer ProSource Coconut, Inc. (ProSource) and its international brand NUCO, saw the need to respond to a significant change in market behavior over the past 15 years. From the ProSource Virgin Coconut Oil being their major product for trade, the business has now shifted into a multi-product venture offering non-traditional coconut products that will cater to the growing concern for health and wellness relevant in today’s generation. 

    In a series of focus groups arranged by New Nutrition Business, results revealed that millennials aged 24-33 liked the taste of coconut, expressing how much they enjoyed coconut-based products. Locally, products like the NUCO Coconut Wraps — which is a tasteful, organic and all-natural alternative to the yeasty bread and wraps — sparked the interest of healthy eating individuals knowing how they can enjoy their favorite burritos without the unwanted carbs and guilt.  

    The NUCO Coconut Wraps come in four (4) different flavor variants, mainly Original, Moringa, Turmeric, and Cinnamon. NUCO also introduced a brand new way to snack—the NUCO Coconut Crunch Cereal. This delightfully satisfying gluten and grain free snack received appealing response from its customers as they best enjoyed it as a cereal with Almond or Coconut Milk, or as a topping on their favorite salads.  NUCO Coconut Wraps and NUCO Coconut Crunch Cereal are all natural and organic, and are USDA and Kosher Certified.  What’s more, they are plant-based, making it perfect for both vegans and those on a keto and paleo diet. 

    Meanwhile, in other coconut-based products, samples of personal care commodities like the ProSource Cocogugo Shampoo, the ProSource Extra Virgin Coconut Soap and ProSource Extra Virgin Coconut Calming Oil have gone popular for people who pine for smooth and moisturized skin and hair without all the harmful chemicals. Many expressed their affirmation on the products, but the overwhelming response came from the newest food derivatives of the coconut. 

    Indeed, the coconut is a magical fruit that naturally finds its way into consumer’s lives in a meaningful way. With more millennials driving key trends with health and wellness concerns in mind, ProSource and NUCO continue to innovate, bringing to people delightful, high-quality coconut and organic products. 

    All ProSource and NUCO products are available online, on BeautyMNL, https://beautymnl.com/, Lazada, https://www.lazada.com.ph/  and their online store at https://prosourcecoconut.com/
