MCT stands for ‘Medium-Chain Triglyceride’ a type of fat found naturally in foods such as coconuts, palm oil and some dairy products.
Medium Chain Triglycerides (or MCTs to you and me) are a sub-class of saturated fats, which have a different chemical structure to other saturated fats and so behave differently in the body.
They are harder to come by in foods than Long Chain Triglycerides (LCT) and are also metabolised differently.
In short, not all fats (nor saturated fats) are created equal; and in the case of MCTs, they have been shown to be pretty special!
Check out our blog post, "What All Fats Aren't Created Equal," which explains the different kinds of dietary fat and why the specific type of fat matters.
Generally, MCT Oil is a clear oil that is runny and liquid at room temperature (unlike coconut oil). It should be unflavoured and have a neutral smell.
We offer two options of MCT oil, the Pure C8 (Thrive Fuel®) and a C8 C10 option.
The pure C8 is a more potent MCT oil & great for those looking to increase their ketone production, or for those that are transitioning from the C8 & C10 blend.
The C8 & C10 blend is the perfect entry MCT oil.
MCT oil is brain fuel. One study suggested that MCT oil could supply the brain with up to 8-9% more energy. This can contribute to increased focus and mental clarity. It has also been shown to improve cognitive function in hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) conditions.
Additional research has found that the use of MCTs can even help improve memory problems, including among those with Alzheimer’s disease. A 2018 study found that the use of MCTs while following the ketogenic diet helped patients with Alzheimer’s experience improvements in symptoms.
MCT Oil is in our opinion the purest source of medium chain fats. Our Hunter & Gather MCT Oil i s triple steam distilled for purity and is 100% from coconuts, no palm oil or rapeseed oils are used in the process and there are no bulkers, fillers, or flow agents! Liquid MCT Oil has an oily texture and can be poured into coffee, smoothies, salads, or shakes. Take a look at some recipe ideas here. To create a powdered form of MCT Oil, MCT Oil is spray dried onto a carrier - such as maltodextrin, tapioca flour, corn, or soy lecithin. It is important to understand what carrier is used as this could impact the carbohydrate levels and purity of the product. 👎 These carriers themselves are rarely disclosed on the ingredients list - so be sure to ask if you are unsure.
