Summary

This coconut milk product contains coconut extract, which is a source of healthy fats like medium-chain triglycerides, offering potential metabolic benefits. However, it is classified as ultra-processed due to the inclusion of guar gum, a thickening agent that can cause digestive issues if consumed in excess. The processing level limits its score despite the presence of beneficial ingredients.

Key ingredients 3

Coconut extract
Good

Coconut extract is a source of healthy fats, particularly medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which can provide quick energy and support metabolic health. It is minimally processed, retaining its natural nutrients. Compared to seed oils, coconut extract offers a more stable fat profile with potential health benefits.

Risks

Some individuals may experience allergic reactions to coconut products.

Benefits

Rich in MCTs that can enhance energy levels and support weight management. Contains lauric acid, which has antimicrobial properties.

Water
Neutral

Water is a neutral ingredient used as a solvent and carrier in many food products. It is essential for hydration but does not contribute significant nutritional value. In this product, it helps to dilute the coconut extract to achieve the desired consistency.
