MCT oil is a highly concentrated source of medium-chain triglycerides. Medium-chain triglycerides are fats that are naturally found in coconut and palm kernel oils.
MCTs are more easily and rapidly digested than other types of fats. MCTs are readily absorbed from the GI tract and are metabolized very quickly by the liver, where they are reported to encourage the use of fat for energy rather than for storage.
Numerous studies suggest that substituting MCT Oil for other fats in a healthy diet may help to support healthy weight and body composition, because MCTs provide less calories, reduce appetite and increase feelings of fullness and increase the body's ability to burn fat and calories.
If you’re looking to go on a reduced-carbohydrate diet, pure puhas MCT oil is an excellent fuel source. Just add MCT oil to your shakes, smoothies, or incorporate it into your salad dressing.
