MCT Oil
MCT stands for medium-chain triglycerides. The length of each fatty acid depends on its chemical structure. The medium chain fatty acid has a length of 6-10 carbon atoms. This is considered as short, enabling very easy digestion of this type of fatty acid.
MCT Oil is popular with athletes and consumers following a Ketogenic diet. Instead of the body storing this fat, it can be used as fuel.
Types of MCT Oil
MCT oil is an oil product based on coconut fatty acids and is 100% neutral in smell, taste and colour. The product is available in two different proportions of Capryl (C8) and Capric (C10) fatty acids.
