MCT Oil

• • Our oil contains pure Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) – Caprylic Acid (C8, 60%) and Capric Acid (C10, 40%)
  • MCTs are derived by fractionating export grade coconut oil in a world class facility
  • MCTs are immediately digested by the body & are rarely stored as fats (2008 study)

• MCT oil provides healthy & lasting energy boost without any subsequent crash – 13 grams of our MCTO provides 130kcals of energy within 15 minutes of consumption! 

• Great for weight management – as its satiating and creates a feeling of fullness 

• • Keto friendly – Makes following the diet much easier and hassle-free!
  • Excellent supplement to consume before a sporting event, an athletic endeavour, an important meeting/presentation, a night out with friends and pretty much anywhere & anytime you need be at your best! 

• MCT Oil is odourless, colourless and is of watery consistency 

Potential benefits of MCT Oil 

• Provides Instant & Healthy source of energy – MCTs are rarely stored as fat by our bodies
• Energy boost is clean & non-stimulant in nature – Hence it’s much more stable & there is no subsequent crash
• Improve basal metabolism –  increases body’s calorie burning capacity in resting state
• Promotes weight loss – as its satiating and creates feeling of fullness (2008 study)
• Helps combat brain fog & improve cognitive function – Ketones (energy packets created on breaking of fat) easily pass the blood brain barrier (2018 study)
• Regulates gut health – it helps with growth of good bacteria 
• Increases athletic performance & endurance – Reduces blood lactate levels & the rate of perceived exertion (RPE) (2018 study)

What makes a good MCT Oil?

• Consistency almost like water
• Odourless, colourless and tasteless (very faint taste of Coconut)
• Lower the Lauric Acid (C-12) levels, the better it is

Coconut Oil vs MCT Oil

• Constituents of Coconut Oil – Caprylic Acid (C-8, 8%), Capric Acid (C-10, 7%), Lauric Acid (C-12, 49%), Mytristic Acid (C-14, 8%), Palmitic Acid (C-16, 8%), Stearic Acid (C-18, 2%), Oleic Acid (C-18, 6%) and Linoleic Acid (C-18, 2%)
• From the above it’s clear that C6, 8 & 10 just constitute 15% of total volume. The remaining 85% Coconut oil is  long chain fatty acids which take a long time to digest and are likely to be stored as fat in the body (rather than converting into energy immediately)
• From purely an healthy energy boost standpoint – Coconut MCT Oil is far ahead of Coconut Oil 
• For other benefits like higher HDL levels, immunity boost, anti-microbial properties etc, one should use Cold Pressed Virgin Coconut Oil (Do check our VCO here) 

Why use MCT Oil over MCT Powder?

• Oils are converted into powder by a process called ‘Spray-Drying’

• In this process, oil is blown into small droplets & encapsulated in ‘base powder’ 

• Addition of base powder brings down the efficacy. 

• 100gms of MCT powder contains just about 50-80gms of MCT Oil. Balance is either carbohydrates or fibre 

• Most commonly used base powder today is ‘Maltodextrin’, it’s unhealthy because it’s a complex sugar and high in carbs

MCT Oil vs Pure C8 Oil

• Experts recommend using MCT Oil over C8 Oil as all the scientific research studies have been conducted by administering broad spectrum MCT Oil (which contains both C8 and C10)

• Benefits like improved gut health & improved cognitive function were seen after using broad spectrum MCT Oil 

• Pure C8 oil may cause bowel irritation. Broad spectrum MCT Oil is much more balanced

Other sources to get Medium Chain Triglycerides

• Palm Kernel Oil

• Whole Milk 

• Butter
