NOW MCT Oil (medium-chain triglycerides) are fats derived naturally from coconut oil, which is sustainably and ecologically sourced to protect our planet and preserve wildlife habitats. MCT oil contains the naturally occurring fatty acids caprylic acid (C8: 0) and capric acid (C10: 0).
MCTs are more easily and rapidly digested than other types of fat, as they require fewer enzymes and bile acids to be absorbed by the intestine. MCTs are metabolized very rapidly in the liver, promoting energy expenditure and fat elimination. Combined with a healthy diet and exercise, this oil helps with weight management. MCT oil can replace other liquid cooking fats.
