Product Overview

Fats, particularly Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCTs), play a significant role as a nutritional energy source. MCTs are uniquely metabolized and easier to digest than other fats, making them a beneficial addition to the diet.

Our MCT oil powder seamlessly transforms into a light, creamy oil with a pleasant texture. This versatile supplement can be added to various foods, such as smoothies, coffee, and salad dressings. MCTs have been identified as being more ketogenic than Long-Chain Triglycerides (LCTs) (Schönfeld & Wojtczak, 2016), meaning they provide a readily available energy source for the body and are easily digested.

Contrary to past beliefs that MCTs were unhealthy due to their high saturated fat content, recent studies have proven that MCTs are distinct in their nutritional value. The distinct structure of MCTs differentiates them from other fats, leading to unique metabolic processes (St-Onge & Jones, 2002).

Proper metabolism of fats in the body involves complex processes, including digestion, absorption, distribution, and metabolism (Bach & Babayan, 1982). These processes are more efficient with MCTs due to their medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA) composition, providing a quick and easy energy source.

MCTs play a crucial role in digestion and absorption and are often used alongside medications to treat food absorption disorders such as diarrhea, steatorrhea, and liver disease (Traul et al., 2000). Furthermore, MCTs have been shown to reduce weight, metabolic syndrome, abdominal obesity, and even inflammation (Mumme & Stonehouse, 2015).

The ability of MCTs to facilitate ketogenesis is particularly beneficial for those on Paleo or ketogenic diets or those who prefer ketone bodies as an energy source over glucose. Unlike regular fatty acids, ketones can cross from the blood to the brain, providing an alternative energy source for the brain, which usually uses glucose for fuel (Courchesne-Loyer et al., 2013).

Our MCT oil powder is composed of MCFAs, a fat metabolized differently by the body due to their smaller size. Unlike most of the fats in our diet, which are LCFAs, MCT oil provides a unique dietary source of MCFAs and is beneficial to the body and overall health.

There are four primary types of MCTs:

Caproic acid (C6) is an oily liquid that boosts blood ketone production (Bach & Babayan, 1982). It’s found in animal fats and several plants and has a distinctive odor.
Caprylic Acid (C8) increases energy, enhances ketone production, and promotes weight loss (St-Onge & Bosarge, 2008). It also possesses cancer-fighting and antimicrobial properties (Nair et al., 2010).
Capric Acid (C10) shares many properties with caprylic acid and can aid in body fat reduction, but generally takes longer to process into ketones (Hoshimoto et al., 2002).
Lauric Acid (C12), a major component of coconut oil, also possesses antimicrobial properties but is slower to break down and less optimal for ketone production due to its larger molecular structure (Lima & Block, 1991).

Our MCT Oil Powder is primarily C8 and C10 with the following typical composition:

C6 (Caproic) = 0.04%
C8 (Caprylic) = 52%
C10 (Capric) = 20.4%
C12 (Lauric) = 0.07%
