Description
MCT oil is a type of oil that is made from medium chain triglycerides. These triglycerides are found in coconut and palm kernel oils. MCT oil has been shown to be effective in treating diseases such as cystic fibrosis, obesity, and fat malabsorption. Athletes, bodybuilders, and diet gurus have also started using MCT oil as a ketogenic fat. When MCTs are absorbed into the blood stream, they bypass the normal digestion process and are instead metabolized immediately by the liver for energy. This means that MCTs will not be stored in the fat cells and will help to reduce body fat levels.
