Coconut Milk & Coconut oil:
The magic Ingredients In Golden Milk. Coconut Milk is made from the expressed juice of grated coconut & water. About 50% of the fat in coconut oil is Lauric Acid, which is rarely found in nature.
Your body converts lauric acid into Monolaurin, a monoglyceride that can actually destroy lipid-coated viruses such as HIV & Herpes, Influenza, measles, Gram-negative Bacteria & Protozoa such as Giardia Lamblia. Lauric Acid is MUFA, which is easily digested & readily crosses cell membranes MUFAs are immediately converted by your Liver into Energy rather than being stored as Fat. Thus it helps to reduce body fat & improved Insulin sensitivity & glucose tolerance.
