What it is
Medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil is a type of fat derived from coconut or palm kernel oil. It is made by processing these oils to concentrate the medium-chain fatty acids, which are then typically blended to create the final product.
Why it's used
MCT oil is often added to foods as a source of fat and energy. Its liquid form at room temperature and neutral flavor make it versatile for use in products like energy bars, protein powders, and some beverages.
Health notes
MCT oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of dietary fat and is metabolized differently than longer-chain fats. JECFA has evaluated MCT oil and established an acceptable daily intake. Some research suggests potential benefits for energy levels and satiety, but more studies are needed. Evidence is mixed regarding its role in weight management.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen.
