Health notes
Fractionated coconut palm kernel oil is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is primarily composed of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are metabolized differently than longer-chain fats. Some research suggests MCTs may be absorbed more quickly and used for energy, but evidence is mixed on significant health benefits at typical dietary intakes. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated coconut oil and its components.
