Recommended in Wise Traditions 2010 Shopping Guide! Our 100% pure gelatin is produced from US Grade A cows tested negative for BSE/mad cow disease. Used for years by Dr. Jensen with his patients, this gelatin can be added to stocks to thicken, and will assist in the digestion of all foods. One level tablespoonful will gel one pint of liquid. The highest grade of gelatin available!

14 oz. powder. 26 servings per container. Recommended serving size 1 Tbsp.

Q. What does it taste like?
A. It adds no flavor to your favorite foods or drinks.

Q. Is it organic?
A. This gelatin is produced from the highest quality cows tested for mad cow disease. The cows have been primarily or completely grass fed. This gelatin is processed in a way that virtually eliminates formation of glutamic acid/MSG by-products. Recommended by Sally Fallon.

Q. How do I use it?
A. Recommended uses include thickening soups, sauces, and stews or added to smoothies. Gelatin will absorb liquid from whatever it is added to, having a thickening effect.

Q. How does it help digestion?
A. When eaten with cooked foods, gelatin has the effect (through its hydrophillic colloids) of drawing digestive fluids into the food thereby enhancing the digestive process. Cooked foods by themselves tend to repel the digestive fluids.

Lactose, or milk sugar, is derived from whey and like whey, it is useful in assisting in the growth of beneficial bacteria such as Lactobacillus acidophilus in the G.I. tract. Included in Nourishing Traditions baby formulas, lactose is an essential addition to cow's milk as mother's milk is richer in lactose than cow's milk.

Lactose is about 20% as sweet as sugar and is a great milk additive for children. It is an easily dissolving powder.

Servings per container: 113
Other Ingredients: 100% Lactose

According to Dr. Mary Enig, coconut oil, rich in lauric acid, is antimicrobial, antibacterial, antiparasitical, and antiviral. It supports good thyroid function, radiant skin, heart health, and even weight loss. The medium chain fatty acids in coconut oil are converted in your body into quick energy, and are not stored as fat. Polynesians, who consume coconut oil regularly, have among the lowest rates of heart disease. You can learn more about the benefits of coconut oil in Eat Fat, Lose Fat , by Dr. Mary Enig and Sally Fallon as well as in three excellent books by Dr. Bruce Fife: The Coconut Oil Miracle, Oil Pulling Therapy and Eat Fat, Look Thin. Pint and quart sizes in glass containers; gallon & 5 gallon sizes in inert plastic.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Isn't coconut oil mostly saturated fat, which is bad?
A. The saturated fat found in virgin coconut oil, lauric acid, is a Medium Chain Fatty Acid. It is easily broken down by the body and is converted to energy, not body fat. For more information as to why saturated fats are not the bad guys as we've been led to believe, read Eat Fat Lose Fat.

Q. When I received my coconut oil it was solid, but now it's liquid! Why?
A. Virgin coconut oil has a melting point of around 78-80 degrees F. It is perfectly normal for it to melt and it is fine for it to go back and forth between liquid and solid states.

Q. How is coconut oil different from coconut butter?
A. Coconut oil and coconut butter are basically synonymous. There are products on the market made by blending the coconut meat with the oil resulting in a different product known as coconut spread. Another product, coconut cream, is made by juicing raw coconut.

Q. Should I refrigerate it?
A. NO! Refrigerating coconut oil is not necessary for its stability. It can actually lead to mold growth in the oil due to the repeated condensation of moisture from the air into the jar.

Q. What does it taste like?
A. Some virgin coconut oils taste very strong - so strong that it overpowers the food you are cooking. Ours has a lovely mild coconut taste and aroma.

Q. Why should I take coconut oil?
A. Important nutrients like lauric acid have been reported to support the immune system, provide energy, support ideal weight and can have a positive effect on the thyroid.

Q. What does the centrifuge process involve?
A. Coconuts are shelled, crushed and ground into a slurry. The slurry is sent through a large centrifuge which spins moisture out leaving the oil behind, with very little moisture.

Q.Why buy Coconut oil from Radiant Life when I can find it cheaper elsewhere?
A. Not all coconut oil is alike. Our oil is selected with you in mind... Certified organic - Made without introducing heat, solvents, deodorizers, bleach, and refining. Our coconut oil is cold pressed and centrifuged to eliminate water. Coconut oil with high water content has limited shelf life as moisture destroys coconut oil causing it to go rancid. The only reason coconut oil gets processed at all is to separate it from the meat and the water. All other methods of processing have negative consequences on the quality, taste and feel of the oil. Please note that if the coconut oil doesn't smell or taste like coconut, it's not a high quality oil and it's probably been refined, bleached and deodorized (RBD). Some products labeled as coconut oil are not even made from coconut oil but instead from copra which is a dried coconut by-product.

Q. What type of container will my coconut oil arrive in?
A. We prefer to supply our coconut oil in glass jars. This is practical for our pint, quart, and 1/2 gallon sizes. For our one and five gallon containers, a medical grade plastic is used. This is the only safe way it can ship. We have tested this plastic and it's extremely inert.

Q. Can coconut oil be heated?
A. While many enjoy it in an uncooked state, coconut oil can be cooked safely up to 400*F. Many also find that it acts as a great natural moisturizer for skin and hair, even being absorbed by the body on a nutrient level through the skin!

Recommended in Wise Traditions 2010 Shopping Guide! This pure U.S.P. premium grade cod liver oil is rich in fat soluble vitamins A and D, all-important catalysts for mineral absorption and essential for strong bones, healthy teeth and normal growth. Vitamin A also plays a vital role in the utilization of protein and water-soluble vitamins. You owe it to yourself to read Nutrition and Physical Degeneration as well as the official response from the WAPF on  The Cod Liver Oil Debate.

Cod liver oil is considered a must for women and their male partners prior to conception, during pregnancy, and for growing children. Its excellent vitamin D content plays a major role in assisting the body to absorb calcium, which protects against osteoporosis, arthritis, cancer, mental disorders, chronic fatigue, digestive problems, and nerve problems. We can eat an abundance of calcium rich foods and yet not absorb enough if we are lacking in vitamin D, so prevalent in today's age of ''cave dwellers!''

Our cod liver oil is also rich in the essential fatty acids EPA and DHA. EPA is essential for the production of prostaglandins, which are hormones that direct many important processes in the cells. DHA is vital for the healthy development and functioning of the nervous system and brain.

This pure U.S.P. premium grade cod liver oil is extracted from the world-famous, healthy cod fish from the deep, unpolluted oceans in the north of Norway. The key to this oil's high nutrient density is harvesting cod with an especially rich nutrient spectrum, and fishing during the times of year that the nutrient levels are highest. For these reasons this oil has more than twice the nutrients per serving of other cod liver oils. Produced without harmful solvents, deodorants or bleaches. This oil is nitrogen flushed to prevent rancidity and is kept at cool temperatures before shipping to avoid spoilage. Regularly tested for mercury, PCBs, and other toxicity, this oil is free of any toxins.

Liquid tastes very mild! Also available in convenient vegi-capsules!

Recommended serving size of 1/2 teaspoon contains (96 servings per bottle):
Vitamin A: 6,250 IU
Vitamin D: 625 IU
EPA: 175 mg
DHA: 253 mg
Vitamin E: 22 IU

Recommended serving size of 3 capsules contain (50 servings per bottle):
Vitamin A: 4,750 IU
Vitamin D: 475 IU
EPA: 133 mg
DHA: 133 mg
Vitamin E: 17 IU

Tips: Refrigerate after opening. Infants under 2 should get 1/4 tsp. daily, the rest of us should take about 1/2 tsp (3-4 caps). Some like to take the liquid with 3 oz. water, milk, or juice. Make sure to include butter & other saturated fats in your diet as they help the body to utilize the unsaturated fatty acids that predominate in cod liver oil.

Synergy of Butter Oil and Cod Liver Oil

Research shows that butter oil and cod liver oil, taken together, provide complementary factors leading to proper essential fatty acid balance. High-vitamin butter oil contains arachidonic acid (AA), an omega-6 fatty acid, while cod liver oil is rich in eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an omega-3. Moreover, the saturated fatty acids in the butter oil promote efficient utilization of the unsaturated fatty acids in the cod liver oil. Our High-Vitamin Butter Oil is extracted from dairy milk produced by Guernsey and Devon cows (high butterfat producers) that graze exclusively on irrigated grass in the northern Great Plains. This specific combination of climate and irrigation produces a rapidly growing specialized forage, ensuring optimal levels of Activator X. Activator X and vitamins A and D are then further concentrated by putting the butterfat through a specialized low-temperature centrifuge process.
