Start by learning to choose the type of fat

Avocado oil has a type of healthy fat called monounsaturated fat, or MUFA, as a major component—particularly oleic acid, also known as omega-9.

Using unsaturated fats in place of saturated fats can help lower LDL, often called “bad cholesterol.” One example is replacing butter with a plant oil containing unsaturated fats, while keeping overall food intake appropriate.

3 things to know about avocado oil

  1. Healthy fats in meals — Monounsaturated fats, or MUFA, are an option for replacing saturated fats. Changing the type of fat in the diet this way can help lower LDL cholesterol.
  2. Natural components — Reviews of avocado oil discuss vitamin E and carotenoids such as lutein. Quantities vary with ingredients and production methods.
  3. Supports vitamin absorption — dietary fat helps the body absorb the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K.

Choose according to what you want from avocado

If you want avocado as food, choose the fresh fruit in a convenient meal. If you want only the oil, consider its type, quantity and format for everyday life.

For vitamin E or lutein, use the quantity stated on the label. Available Avocado Plus information states avocado oil per softgel, so it cannot substitute for vitamin quantities or establish eye-health effects.
