Hi Cathy,
How much coconut oil should one ingest daily to receive its benefits?
The benefits of coconut oil are mainly from the nutrient value of medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs). The best comparison in nature as to the percentage of MCFAs being consumed in a diet is human breast milk. To equal the amount of MCFAs a nursing infant would receive in one day, an adult would need to consume about 3.5 tablespoons of coconut oil a day according to researchers. Since coconut oil in nature is packaged inside the coconut meat, it is recommended to consume this amount throughout the day with food high in fiber and protein. However, for those not used to coconut oil in their diet, it is best to start out with an amount far less than this first, to see how your body reacts.

I have been on thyroid meds since 5th grade, I'm 49. From Armour, Lev, Synthroid and now on a compounded Rx, which has actually helped. I've been eating paleo for a little over a month...this is where I discovered CVO. The more I learn the more interested I am in finding out more.
My big question is ....how do you know how much EVO to take daily? I would love to get off of my thyroid medication.
