What it is

Coconut MCT oil is a type of fat derived from coconut oil. It is made by processing coconut oil to concentrate medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are fats with specific chemical structures. These MCTs are then often separated and purified.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add coconut MCT oil for its unique properties as a fat source. It is often used in beverages, especially those marketed for energy or as meal replacements, as well as in some confectionery and plant-based products. Its liquid form and neutral flavor make it versatile.

Health notes

Coconut MCT oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of dietary fat that the body can use for energy. Some research suggests MCTs may be metabolized differently than longer-chain fats, but more studies are needed to fully understand long-term effects at typical dietary intakes. JECFA has evaluated MCTs and established acceptable daily intakes.

Allergen info

Coconut is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. Coconut MCT oil is not derived from any of the major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
