Many advocates of MCT oil suggest adding it to black coffee, smoothies or shakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMCT stands for Medium Chain Triglycerides - a type of fat which is low in our diets, and which has had a lot of interest in recent years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenerally, MCT oil is sourced from coconut oil. Coconut oil usually contains MCT’s combined with other long chain fatty acids, making it an extremely healthy and stable cooking oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMCT oil has had these other longer chain fats removed, increasing the provision of Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs). There are 4 different MCTs – Caproic, Caprylic, Capric and Lauric. Caprylic and Capric are considered to be excellent sources of energy. MCT oil is better than coconut oil as a source of MCTs, since it contains higher amounts of caprylic and capric acid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt may cause a feeling a nausea initially, so starting with a small amount and working up to the suggested dose (1 tablespoon) is probably best for those who do want to give it a go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the research say? \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished clinical trials have indicated that supplementing MCT oils will provide the brain with the fuel it requires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudies have suggested that MCT oils could help to support weight loss regimes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for vegetarians \u0026amp; vegans \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirection for use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Add 1 tablespoon to coffee, shakes, dressings or smoothies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients: \u003c\/strong\u003ePure coconut oil\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/4683\/9207\/files\/Untitled_994bb81c-3332-4752-85c5-e4812c1322f3.png?v=1712746086\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Natures Aid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39530403266727,"sku":"NA44508","price":19.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/4683\/9207\/files\/pure-mct-oil-from-premium-coconut-oil-500ml-black-friday-natures-aid-147227.jpg?v=1732870804","url":"https:\/\/econaturalproducts.co.uk\/products\/100-mct-oil-unflavoured-500ml","provider":"Eco Natural Products","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
