Re: Question about coconut oil and probiotics...................................

[Guest guest]

My fmaily takes Klaire labs probiotics, mixed in smoothies with coconut

oil. We are dairy free right now, so I cannot comment on your questions

directly, but here is the info that I learned from Klaire labs about

combining probiotics and coconut oil:

If using expeller pressed coconut oil (depending on producer,could be

heat refined, or un-heat refined), you can combine probitics and and

oil together at same time. This is because epeller pressed coconut oil

typically has less anti-microbial properties that virgin oil.

If using virgin coconut oil for strictly for its anti-microbial

properties, it is bes not to combine with probiotics, as they

will " smother " and " kill off " the bacteria before your gut can use it.

We have found that expeller pressed coconut oil from Tropical

Traditions web site still has enough anti-microbial properties to keep

our yeast overgrowth in check, and I mix it without hesitation with my

probiotic supplements.

I realize this is not a direct answer, but I hope this helps you to

draw a relationship for your situation.
