What it is
Bulletproof XCT Oil Powder is a dietary supplement ingredient made from a blend of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) derived from coconut and/or palm kernel oil. It is processed to create a powdered form, often using ingredients like tapioca maltodextrin and acacia gum for stability and mixability.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add this ingredient to foods like energy bars and protein bars to provide a source of quick energy from MCTs. It can also contribute to the texture and mouthfeel of powdered food products.
Health notes
Bulletproof XCT Oil Powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a dietary ingredient. MCTs are a type of fat that the body can absorb and use for energy relatively quickly. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated MCTs, but specific evaluations of 'Bulletproof XCT Oil Powder' as a distinct ingredient may vary. Some individuals may experience digestive upset when consuming large amounts of MCTs.
