What it is

Medium chain triglyceride (MCT) powder is made by combining medium-chain triglycerides (fats) with a carrier, often maltodextrin or milk protein. MCTs are fats that are found naturally in coconut oil and palm kernel oil. They are called 'medium-chain' because of their chemical structure.

Why it's used

MCT powder is used as a source of quick energy and to improve the texture of foods. It is often added to energy bars, protein powders, and coffee creamers. Manufacturers use it to add healthy fats and a smooth mouthfeel.

Health notes

In the U.S., MCT oil and powder are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Some research suggests MCTs may be used for energy and may have a role in weight management, but more studies are needed. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated MCTs. Evidence regarding health effects is still developing.

Allergen info

MCT powder is not a major allergen. However, if derived from milk protein, it would contain dairy. Check product labels for specific allergen information.
