MCT Coconut Oil

by Joseph Hutt

Medium chain triglycerides are fatty acids that naturally occur in coconut oil, palm oil and dairy products. [1] A recommended serve is 20mL. It can be added to salad dressings, smoothies, and will be included in something coming soon...

Studies suggest MCT enriched diets may:

  • Manage metabolic diseases through modification of gut microbiota [2]
  • Reduce heart disease risk factors such as weight, cholesterol, and inflammation [3]
