Description

MCT Oil is a purified triglyceride product from the same supply that is used to feed infants with fat malabsorption syndrome (cystic fibrosis) and to provide long-term intravenous feeding. MCT Oil is quickly absorbed and utilized for energy by organs and muscles.

All other food fats are absorbed through a complex sequence of events and digestion is slowed in their presence. This is why the stomach retains a high fat meal longer and releases the liquid food to the intestine in smaller portions. MCT Oil gives you an energized feeling in a very short time. MCT Oil should be incorporated slowly into your diet to prevent cramping and diarrhea.

MCT Oil is a fat that is not stored in the body and helps burn existing fat stores.
MCT Oil provides fast abundant energy for exercise because of rapid absorption.
Because MCT is a plant source lipid, it contains no cholesterol.
MCT Oil serves as a carrier for food flavors when substituted for traditional cooking fats in baked goods and salad dressings.

It is classified as GRAS(generally recognized as safe) by the U.S FDA
