What is MCT oil?
MCT oil is a type of fat called medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). MCTs are found in oils like coconut and palm kernel oil. Unlike other fats, MCTs go straight to the liver after being digested, quickly turning into energy or substances called ketone bodies.
What are the benefits of MCT oil?
Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) offer several potential health benefits. They are rapidly absorbed and metabolised by the liver, providing a quick source of energy.
What is MCT oil made of?
MCT oil is derived from medium-chain triglycerides, which are fats found in certain oils, particularly coconut and palm oils. Unlike most other fats that consist of long-chain fatty acids, MCTs are made up of medium-chain fatty acids, which include caproic, caprylic, capric, and lauric acids.
These medium-chain fatty acids have between 6 to 12 carbon atoms, making it easier for the body to absorb them. This rapid absorption provides a quick source of energy, making MCT oil a popular supplement, especially among those following ketogenic diets.
MCT oil is highly concentrated in these medium-chain fatty acids, enhancing its efficiency and speed in energy conversion compared to traditional coconut oil.
How do you use MCT oil for weight loss?
It’s important to follow a balanced diet to meet your daily nutritional needs and consult your healthcare professional for more advice on the benefits of MCT oil.
