What it is

MCT stands for medium-chain triglycerides. These are fats that are naturally found in coconut oil and palm kernel oil. They are extracted from these oils through a process called fractionation, which separates the medium-chain fatty acids from the longer-chain ones.

Why it's used

MCT oil is often added to foods as a source of energy. It is commonly found in energy drinks, protein powders, and plant-based milks. Its neutral flavor and liquid form make it easy to incorporate into various food and beverage products.

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 rapidly absorbed by the body. Some studies suggest MCTs may have a role in weight management and cognitive function, but more research is needed. JECFA has evaluated MCT oil and set an acceptable daily intake.

Allergen info

MCT oil is not derived from any of the nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
