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.
Take 1 tablespoon (15 mL) daily. MCT oil can also be used as a substitute for conventional oils in salad dressings, sauces or cooking. Not recommended for use in frying due to low smoke point.
Store in a cool dry place. Do not exceed the recommended daily dosage. Do not use as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet. Keep out of reach of young children.
