MCT OIL 1000mg - 150 SOFTGELS

How Medium-Chain Triglycerides Support Healthy Weight and Body Composition

Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are compounds that are naturally found in coconut and palm kernel oils. Unlike other types of fats, MCTs are more easily digested and metabolized by the body. studies suggest that substituting MCT oil for other fats in a healthy diet may help support healthy weight and body composition. Let's take a closer look at how MCTs work.

How MCTs Work

MCTs are absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and rapidly metabolized by the liver. In the liver, MCTs are reported to encourage the use of fat for energy rather than for storage. This process is believed to be one of the reasons why MCTs may help support healthy weight and body composition.

In addition, MCTs are a source of energy that can be used by muscles during exercise. Studies have shown that consuming MCTs before exercise can help improve athletic performance and decrease fat storage during exercise.* Therefore, including MCTs as part of a pre-workout routine may help support healthy weight management.*

MCTs are a type of fat that is naturally found in coconut and palm kernel oils. They are more easily digested than other types of fat and are readily absorbed by the body. Numerous studies suggest that substituting MCT oil for other fats in a healthy diet may help support healthy weight and body composition.* If you're looking for an easy way to add MCTs to your diet, consider using an MCT oil supplement.
