What is MCT oil?

MCT oil is the abbreviation of medium-chain triglycerides. It is called " medium-chain triglycerides " in Chinese. In short, it is called medium-chain fat . It is called medium-chain. Both long-chain and short-chain fats. MCT oil is a supplement that has become popular among athletes and body builders.

Due to their shorter length, MCTs are digested faster than longer-chain fatty acids found in many other foods. 

Where did MCT oil come from?

Our MCT oil is fractionated by physical distillation. Simply put, by controlling the temperature, we can only extract the medium-chain fat we want. There is no need to add any compounds during the process, and there is no problem of drug residue .

What are the benefits of MCT oil?

Here are some benefits of MCT oil that have been backed by scientific research

The general metabolism of fat in the human body is:

Eat it → go through a series of digestion after reaching the stomach → become chylus and enter the lymphatic circulation → reach the hepatic portal vein and be used by the human body. It takes about 2 hours for a long absorption and conversion time.

The metabolism of MCT oil in the human body is:

Eat it → absorb directly after reaching the stomach → reach the hepatic portal vein and be used by the human body. According to the literature, this process is about 1/10 of the long chain time, which is about 10 minutes.
