Viviendo Philippines, Inc. is a company run by young and committed individuals with a common vision to market only PREMIUM quality VCO and produce VCO based health and beauty products, that people may avail of and gain from the many health benefits that VCO can offer .

Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) is oil derived from first press of fresh and mature coconut meat, without the use of heat. It was termed "virgin" because of its pureness, it being unrefined, unbleached and non-deodorized. VCO also retains the fresh aroma of cocounut milk, is thick, water clear, smooth and sweet tasting.

VCO is composed primarily of short and medium chain triglycerides (SCTs and MCTs). These triglycerides are quickly digested, go straight to the liver through the portal vein and are synthesized instantly into energy thereby increasing the body metabolism. VCO does not produce fat and has absolutely no cholesterol. VCO contains lauric acid in abundance compared to other fatty acids that make up the oil. Lauric acid is known to be transformed by the body into the disease fighting monolaurin when ingested. Monolaurin has been identified to be effective in combating lipid-coated viruses and bacteria. Monolaurin inactivates and disintegrates the lipids (fats) covering pathogenic micro-organisms exposing these to natural antibodies and the combative action of ingested medication. Monolaurin has similarly been identified to cause the death of a number of microorganisms. Some lipid-coated micro-organisms that have been inactivated by monolaurin are:

Type	Particulars
Viruses	HIV, Measles, Herpes, Visna, Sarcoma, Cytomegalovirus, Influenza, Leukemia, Pneumonia and Hepatitis C
Bacteria	Streptococcus causing throat infections, pneumonia, sinusitis, ear ache, rheumatic fever, dental cavities; Staphylocossus causing food poisening, urinary tract infections and toxic shock syndrome; Neisseria causing meningitis, gonorrhea, pelvic inflammation; Chlamydia causing genital infections, conjunctivitis, pneumonia; Helicobacter pylori causing stomach ulcers; Gram positive organisms causing anthrax, gastroenteritis, botulism and tetanus

The corona virus causing SARS is also lipid coated and is similar to the organisms causing the FLU and pneumonia. Patients infected with SARS also show similar symptoms to those suffering of flu and pneumonia. Therefore, monolaurin and monocaprin, both of which can be found in VCO, may yet be the potential cure for SARS.

VCO is so stable, it does not oxidize easily. As a result, vitamins A, C and E that strengthen the body's immune system are not depleted protecting our body from harmful microorganisms. VCO has natural tocopherol (vitamin E) content of 40mcg/gm that not only helps prevent oxidation of the oil but also makes it an ideal skin moisturizer and revitalizer.
