Coconut Oil for Reducing Gut Inflammation
-
Coconut oil, rich in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), has been shown to reduce inflammation in the gut and improve digestion. MCTs are rapidly absorbed and used as fuel by the body, bypassing the liver for metabolism. Studies show a 30% reduction in gut inflammation markers in those who consume 2 tablespoons daily. If you’re dealing with gut permeability issues, adding coconut oil may help repair the gut lining.
