So I m confused about the use of coconut oil supplements, should I should I not use them? I just purchased the 1000 mg now I m confused? I have under active thyroid i also have very dry skin. So it says it supplies medium chain triglycerides including lauric acid. so what exactly does this mean? So yeah never mind I m not paying for an answer I can find online! was just curious!!!!!!!!!!
