maureen - Organic Extra Virgin and unrefined. This is what most health food and vitamin stores carry.
Some people here cook with it and really like the bulk form. It is a solid form when cool - much like shortning looks, but turns to liquid in a warmer environment.
I put the oil in my horse's grain at night.
I prefer to take the capsules. That way I know exactly how much I'm getting each day. Mine say 3/ea. day. Start wit one a day and work up to full 3 (OR WHATEVER THE DIRECTIONS SAY)
My LLMD was happy to hear I had started coconut oil before I started treatment.

Here is a more informative website and they don't seem to be selling anything. Also, links to more information.
Good virgin coconut oil will taste really good like a Mounds bar sans the chocolate.

I use wildernessfamilynaturals.com 1-800-945-3801 Its certified organic, Cold pressed,extra virgin. I love it. I buy it at my Dr's office. I do not sell it. Its sooooo yummy. A bit pricey and worth it.

If you are ordering $49+ from vitamin shoppe through amazon you can get $10 off. Usually vitamin shoppe prices are pretty high, but for the Nutiva Coconut oil it is $21.99, plus shipping. I bought two of these plus something else inexpensive that I wanted to get the $10 off. The address for this is: http://www.amazon.com/Nutiva-Coconut-Organic-Virgin-solid/dp/B000P1ZWG6
iHerb is also good as others have said. I've gotten coconut oil from them once too.

If coconut oil is good, is coconut milk also good? I am using coconut milk to make smoothies to gain weight. Will it have the lauricidin in it as well? Hiker53

One benefit: I had roseacea for years that my dermatologist couldn't get under control with any of her different meds.
I started rubbing a tiny bit on my face after washing it, twice a day. Within days, I was roseacea free and have remained so to this day.
My skin has never looked so good.
I also cook with it. It has a high smoke point, so less chance of becoming unhealthy thru becoming too hot.
