MCT Oil

What is MCT Oil?

MCT oil, derived from medium-chain triglycerides such as coconut oil, is a dietary supplement known for its rapid digestion and energy-boosting qualities. Due to its shorter carbon chains, MCTs are quickly absorbed, providing a swift source of fuel. Widely used in ketogenic and low-carb diets, MCT oil supports weight management, enhances mental clarity, and serves as a convenient energy source, making it a popular choice for those seeking efficient and immediate energy.
