3 Benefits of MCT Oil

MCT Oil is a dietary supplement that is made up of MCT fats, found in coconut oil or palm kernel oil.

MCT fats are found in coconut oil and are processed by the body differently due to thier long-chain fatty acids. MCT's go from the gut to the liver, wehre they are then used as a source of energy or turned into ketones.

Here are three benefits of MCT Oil.

1. Promotes Weight Loss

Your body can use MCT Oil as an instant source of energy so fat does not get stored for this purpose. It has been show to increase the release of hormones that promote the feeling of fullness in the body; peptide YY and leptin. (Trusted Source).

2. Contains Powerful Fatty Acids That Fight Yeast and Bacterial Growth

MCT Oil has been shown to have antifungal and antimicrobial properties. "Coconut oil, which contains a large amount of MCTs, has been shown to reduce the growth of Candida albicans by 25%. This is a common yeast that can cause thrush and various skin infections". (Trusted Source).

3. Instant Source of Energy

MCT Oil is a super fuel. Your body absorbs MCT's more rapidly than LTT's (long-chain triglycerides). Since MCTs easily enter your ells without having to be broken down, they can be used as immediate source of energy.
