MCT oil full name is Medium-Chain triglycerides,is a form of saturated fatty acid that is found naturally in coconut oil and palm oil. It can be divied into four groups based on carbon length, ranging from six to twelve carbons.The “medium” portion of MCT refers to the-chain length of the fatty acids. Roughly 62 to 65 percent of the fatty acids found in coconut oil are MCTs.
Oils, in general, contain short-chain, medium-chain, or long-chain fatty acids. The medium-chain fatty acids found in MCT oils are:Caproic acid (C6),Caprylic acid (C8),Capric acid (C10),Lauric acid (C12)
The predominant MCT oil found in coconut oil is lauric acid. Coconut oil is roughly 50 percent lauric acid and is known for its antimicrobial benefits throughout the body.
MCT oils are digested differently than other fats since they are sent right to the liver, where they can act as a quick source of fuel and energy at a cellular level. MCT oils provide different proportions of medium-chain fatty acids compared to coconut oil.
A.Weigth loss -MCT oils can have a positive effect on weight loss and fat reduction since they can raise metabolic rate and increase satiety.
B.Energy -MCT oils provide about 10 percent fewer calories than longer-chain fatty acids, which allows the MCT oils to be more rapidly absorbed in the body and quickly metabolized as fuel.
C.Blood sugar support-MCTs can raise ketones and lower blood sugar levels naturally, as well as stabilize blood glucose levels and decrease inflammation.
D.Brain Health - Medium-chain fatty acids are unique in their ability to be absorbed and metabolized by the liver, allowing them to further be converted into ketones.
