MCT Oil USP by NuMedica
MCT Oil USP is a premium blend of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). MCTs are a special type of fatty acid that is metabolized more efficiently than long-chain triglycerides (LCTs) for energy production in the body. Unlike LCTs, MCTs are shorter in length, more closely resembling carbohydrates than fat. This makes them more readily absorbed and quickly metabolized as fuel, with fewer calories than LCTs. Furthermore, MCTs have been shown to increase thermogenesis, or the production of heat in the body, which can lead to increased fat burning. MCT Oil can also be used as a substitute for conventional oils in salad dressings, sauces, or cooking as a source of beneficial fatty acids. However, due to its low boiling point, it is not recommended for use in frying.
