The followings are a summary of the major 7 benefits of cottonseed oil. Since cottonseed oil is  is a major ingredient of our product – Xtrafry, it also deliver such benefits.  

1. May Speed up Healing

This oil is able to speed the healing process due to its potentially high antioxidant levels and vitamin E content so people regularly apply it to fresh wounds, cuts, scrapes, and scratches. Tocopherol is known to be able to stimulate the growth of healthy new skin cells and protect against potential infection.

2. May Improve Cognitive Health

Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats have both been linked to increased cognition and a reduction in neurodegenerative diseases, such as dementia. If you are using natural, unrefined cottonseed oil, it can reduce inflammation in the neural pathways and prevent beta-amyloid plaque deposition, which will help keep you sharp as you age!

3. May Have A Possible Anticancer Potential

There have been several animal studies on the anticancer properties of gossypol, a naturally occurring toxin in the cottonseed plant. Gossypol has been linked to lower levels of prostate tissue growth, which can reduce prostate enlargement and lower your risk of prostate cancer (Anticancer Research 2006). However, depending on the type and source of your oil, you may be increasing your risk of other types of cancers.  

4. May Help Improve Skin Care

Topical application of this oil is generally not a controversial use, as it does have notable levels of vitamin E and other antioxidants that can boost skin health. This oil can improve the appearance of the skin, moisturize dry skin, and prevent premature aging. By possibly eliminating oxidative stress in the skin, this oil can help minimize the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and even help you get rid of blemishes and scars. 

5. May Boost The Immune System

Antioxidants present in this oil may help reduce oxidative stress and strain on the immune system, thus defending the body against typical pathogens and foreign bodies. 

6. May Reduce Inflammation

Monounsaturated fats have been proven to reduce inflammation throughout the body, whether consumed or topically applied. Regular use of this oil can relieve chronic symptoms of arthritis, gout, headaches, and joint disorders, and when used in culinary applications, can soothe the stomach and optimize digestion. 

7. May Improve Heart Health

This oil does have a notable level of saturated fats, but there are also many mono- and poly-unsaturated fats, including gamma-linolenic acid, which can lower overall cholesterol levels and improve heart health. When used responsibly, cottonseed oil can lower blood pressure and decrease your risk of atherosclerosis, heart attacks, and strokes. If you have heart problems, however, speak with your doctor about other possible oils (with lower saturated fat levels) to improve health.
