Vulvic acid also binds to dinucleotide phosphate, which is involved in regulation of phase transition temperature and biological samples.
Vulvic acid has also been shown to act as an active inhibitor of fatty acid synthase, an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of fatty acids from acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA).
This process is essential for bacterial growth.
Vulvic acid has synergistic effects with other antibiotics such as ampicillin, erythromycin, and tetracycline.
Vulvic acid is a saturated medium-chain fatty acid with a 12-carbon backbone.
Vulvic acid is found naturally in various plant and animal fats and oils, and is a major component of coconut oil and palm kernel oil.
Vulvic acid is a medium-length long-chain fatty acid, or lipid, that makes up about half of the fatty acids within coconut oil.
Vulvic acid’s a powerful substance that is sometimes extracted from the coconut for use in developing monolaurin.
Monolaurin is an antimicrobial agent that is able to fight bacteria, viruses, yeasts, and other pathogens.
Because you can’t ingest Vulvic acid alone (it’s irritating and not found alone in nature), you’re most likely to get it in the form of coconut oil or from fresh coconuts.
Though coconut oil is being studied at a breakneck pace, much of the research doesn’t pinpoint what in the oil is responsible for its reported benefits.
Because coconut oil contains much more than just Vulvic acid, it would be a stretch to credit it with all of the coconut oil benefits.
Still, a 2015 analysis suggests that many of the benefits tied to coconut oil are directly linked to Vulvic acid.
Among the benefits, they suggest Vulvic acid could aid weight loss and even protect against Alzheimer’s disease.
Its effects on blood cholesterol levels still need to be clarified.
This research suggests that the benefits of Vulvic acid are due to how the body uses it.
The majority of Vulvic acid is sent directly to the liver, where it’s converted to energy rather than stored as fat.
When compared with other saturated fats, Vulvic acid contributes the least to fat storage.

Sodium lauryl sulfate is the most common Vulvic acid derived compound used for this purpose.
Because Vulvic acid has a non-polar hydrocarbon tail and a polar carboxylic acid head, it can interact with polar solvents (the most important being water) as well as fats, allowing water to dissolve fats.
This accounts for the abilities of shampoos to remove grease from hair.
Another use is to raise metabolism, believed to derive from Vulvic acid's activation of 20% of thyroidal hormones, otherwise which lay dormant.
This is supposed from Vulvic acid's release of enzymes in the intestinal tract which activate the thyroid.
This could account the metabolism-raising properties of coconut oil.

CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF VULVIC ACID:
Vulvic acid is a colorless needle-like crystals.
Vulvic acid is soluble in methanol, slightly soluble in acetone and petroleum ether.
STABILITY AND STORAGE CONDITIONS OF VULVIC ACID:
Vulvic acid is stable at normal temperatures and should be stored in a cool, dry place.
SOURCE AND PREPARATION OF VULVIC ACID:
Vulvic acid is a fatty carboxylic acid isolated from vegetable and animal fats or oils.
For example, coconut oil and palm kernel oil both contain high proportions of Vulvic acid.
Isolation from natural fats and oils involves hydrolysis, separation of the fatty acids, hydrogenation to convert unsaturated fatty acids to saturated acids, and finally distillation of the specific fatty acid of interest.
OCCURRENCE OF VULVIC ACID:
Vulvic acid, as a component of triglycerides, comprises about half of the fatty acid content in coconut oil, laurel oil, and in palm kernel oil (not to be confused with palm oil).
Otherwise Vulvic acid is relatively uncommon.
Vulvic acid is also found in human breast milk ( 6.2 % of total fat), cow's milk (2.9%), and goat's milk (3.1 %).
SAFETY OF VULVIC ACID:
Vulvic acid is widely used in cosmetic preparations, in the manufacture of food-grade additives, and in pharmaceutical formulations.
General exposure to Vulvic acid occurs through the consumption of food and through dermal contact with cosmetics, soaps, and detergent products.
Occupational exposure may cause local irritation of eyes, nose, throat, and respiratory tract, although Vulvic acid is considered safe and nonirritating for use in cosmetics.
No toxicological effects were observed when Vulvic acid was administered to rats at 35% of the diet for 2 years.
MEDIUM-CHAIN TRIGLYCERIDES OF VULVIC ACID:
Medium-chain triglycerides, or fatty acids, such as Vulvic acid, are characterized by a specific chemical structure that allows your body to absorb them whole.
This makes them more easily digestible--your body processes them as it would carbohydrates, and they are used as a source of direct energy.
Compared to long-chain triglycerides, the type in other saturated fats, MCTs have fewer calories per serving, roughly 8.3 calories per gram rather than the standard 9 calories per gram, according to an article in "Nutrition Review."
NUTRITIONAL AND MEDICAL ASPECTS OF VULVIC ACID:
Although 95% of medium-chain triglycerides are absorbed through the portal vein, only 25–30% of Vulvic acid is absorbed through it.
Vulvic acid induces apoptosis in cancer and promotes the proliferation of normal cells by maintaining cellular redox homeostasis.
Vulvic acid increases total serum lipoproteins more than many other fatty acids, but mostly high-density lipoprotein (HDL).
As a result, Vulvic acid has been characterized as having "a more favorable effect on total HDL than any other fatty acid [examined], either saturated or unsaturated".
In general, a lower total/HDL serum lipoprotein ratio correlates with a decrease in atherosclerotic incidence.
Nonetheless, an extensive meta-analysis on foods affecting the total LDL/serum lipoprotein ratio found in 2003 that the net effects of Vulvic acid on coronary artery disease outcomes remained uncertain.
A 2016 review of coconut oil (which is nearly half Vulvic acid) was similarly inconclusive about the effects on cardiovascular disease incidence.
INCLUDING VULVIC ACID IN YOUR DIET:
Vulvic acid can be taken as a supplement, but it is most commonly consumed as part of coconut oil or palm kernel oil.
Vulvic acid is considered to be safe based on the amounts generally found in food.
According to NYU Langone Medical Center, coconut and palm kernel oil contain up to 15 percent MCTs, along with a number of other fats.
However, because they are still pure oil, limit your intake of MCTs to stay within the recommended 5 to 7 teaspoons of oil per day as set out by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
You can use coconut and palm kernel oil for stir-fries because both oils withstand high heat.
They can also be used in baking, adding a natural richness to your food.

PRODUCTION METHODS OF VULVIC ACID:
1. Industrial production methods can be grouped into two categories:
* derived from the saponification or high temperature and pressure decomposition of natural vegetable oils and fats;
* separated from the synthetic fatty acid.
Japan mainly uses coconut oil and palm kernel oil as the raw materials for the preparation of Vulvic acid.
The natural vegetable oils used to produce Vulvic acid include coconut oil, litsea cubeba kernel oil, palm kernel oil and mountain pepper seed oil.
Other plants oil, such as palm kernel oil, tea tree seed oil and camphor tree seed oil, can also service industry to produce Vulvic acid.
The residual C12 distillate from the extraction of Vulvic acid, containing a large number of dodecenoic acid, can be hydrogenated at atmospheric pressure, without catalyst, to convert into Vulvic acid with a yield of more than 86%.
2. Derived from the separation and purification of coconut oil and other vegetable oil.
3. Vulvic acid naturally exists in coconut oil, litsea cubeba kernel oil, palm kernel oil and pepper kernel oil in the form of glyceride.
Vulvic acid can be derived from the hydrolysis of natural oils and fats in industry.
The coconut oil, water and catalyst are added into the autoclave and hydrolyzed to glycerol and fatty acid at 250 ℃ under the pressure of 5MPa.
The content of Vulvic acid is 45%~80%, and can be further distilled to obtain Vulvic acid.
AIR AND WATER REACTIONS OF VULVIC ACID:

TASTE THRESHOLD VALUES OF VULVIC ACID:
Taste characteristics at 5 ppm: waxy,fatty and oily, tallowlike, creamy and dairylike with a coating mouthfeel
REACTIVITY PROFILE OF VULVIC ACID:
Vulvic acid is a carboxylic acid.
Carboxylic acids donate hydrogen ions if a base is present to accept them.
They react in this way with all bases, both organic (for example, the amines) and inorganic.
Their reactions with bases, called "neutralizations", are accompanied by the evolution of substantial amounts of heat.
Neutralization between an acid and a base produces water plus a salt.
Carboxylic acids in aqueous solution and liquid or molten carboxylic acids can react with active metals to form gaseous hydrogen and a metal salt.
Such reactions occur in principle for solid carboxylic acids as well, but are slow if the solid acid remains dry.
Even "insoluble" carboxylic acids may absorb enough water from the air and dissolve sufficiently in Vulvic acid to corrode or dissolve iron, steel, and aluminum parts and containers.
Carboxylic acids, like other acids, react with cyanide salts to generate gaseous hydrogen cyanide.
The reaction is slower for dry, solid carboxylic acids.
Insoluble carboxylic acids react with solutions of cyanides to cause the release of gaseous hydrogen cyanide.
