What it is

MCT powder is made from medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are fats that are typically derived from coconut or palm kernel oil. The MCTs are then combined with a carrier, such as maltodextrin or acacia fiber, and dried to create a powder. This process makes MCTs easier to incorporate into various food products.

Why it's used

MCT powder is often added to foods and beverages as a source of energy and to improve satiety. Its powder form makes it a convenient ingredient for dry mixes like protein powders, meal replacements, and baked goods. It can also be found in coffee creamers and snack bars.

Health notes

MCT powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. MCTs are rapidly absorbed and metabolized by the body, providing a quick source of energy. Some studies suggest potential benefits for weight management and cognitive function, but more research is needed. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated MCTs, and regulatory bodies generally consider them safe when consumed in typical amounts.

Allergen info

MCT powder is not typically derived from any of the nine major allergens. It is also gluten-free, unless a gluten-containing carrier is specifically used, which is uncommon.
