This Organic Coconut Flour comes from sustainable plantations where the coconuts are grown and processed to strict organic standards. After the Coconuts have been collected they are taken to a site where they are processed into coconut oil. The meat of the coconut in this process is pressed of all its oil so only a cake is left. The cake is then spread out on trays and vacuum dried at less than 50°C resulting in totally dehydrated coconut flesh that is milled into a fine powder. After testing and organic checks the coconut flour is packaged ready to be shipped.

Proteins are a group of biological compounds which are present in every live cell, organ and tissue of the body. Meaning “first” or “of prime importance” in Greek, proteins participate in every cellular process occurring in the body. Proteins are made up of structures called amino acids, there are a total of 21 amino acids, 9 are essential, the rest are nonessential – you must consume the essential amino acids in your diet because your body cannot make them.
Dietary protein supports bone health in three main ways: by supplying the raw material required to construct soft bone matrix, by increasing plasma IGF1 and by promoting muscle growth and retention. IGF1 is a growth hormone that stimulates and increases the activity of osteoblasts (cells which secrete the substance of bone). It is especially important to ensure that children get enough protein since they are still developing and it is necessary to ensure their growth is unimpaired. Proteins play an important role in muscle contraction and coordination, they are present in the muscle tissues in the form of many microfilaments and provide muscle structure. Muscle growth depends on the adequacy of proteins in the body. Proteins function as building blocks for muscles, bones and cartilage, opt for a variety of whole foods to meet your protein needs including; grass fed meat and poultry, eggs, dairy, seeds, beans and nuts.
Protein contributes to:
· the maintenance of normal bones
· a growth in muscle mass
· the maintenance of muscle mass
· Protein is needed for normal growth and development of bone in children.
