Summary

This product contains organic coconut extract, which is a source of healthy fats and is minimally processed, enhancing its nutritional profile. However, it is classified as ultra-processed due to the presence of guar gum, a thickening agent, which can lead to digestive issues if consumed excessively. The processing level limits its score despite the use of organic ingredients.

Key ingredients 3

Organic Coconut Extract
Good

Organic coconut extract is a source of healthy fats, particularly medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are easily metabolized for energy. Being organic, it is free from synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, enhancing its nutritional profile. Coconut extract is minimally processed, retaining its natural nutrients and flavor.

Benefits

Rich in MCTs that provide a quick source of energy and may support weight management. Contains lauric acid, which has antimicrobial properties.

Water
Neutral

Water is a neutral ingredient used as a solvent and to adjust the consistency of the product. It does not contribute any calories or nutrients. Its presence is essential for diluting the coconut extract to achieve the desired texture.

Organic Guar Gum
Bad

Guar gum is used as a thickening agent and stabilizer in processed foods. While it is derived from natural sources, excessive consumption can lead to digestive issues. Being organic, it is free from synthetic additives, but its role as an additive in ultra-processed foods is a concern.

Risks

May cause digestive discomfort such as bloating or gas when consumed in large amounts.

Benefits

Helps improve the texture and stability of the product, preventing separation.
