MCT Oil, Pharmaceutical Grade, 32 fl. oz.
Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCTs): Extracted from coconut oil, MCTs have been shown to play an important functional role in the body. Very little MCT gets converted into body fat, because MCTs are rapidly burned for energy. Studies indicate that MCTs will not increase serum cholesterol levels.MCTs represent an exciting new frontier in health and nutrition, promising a true "fatless fat." MCT benefits include:    Fast Energy-converts to energy much faster than regular oils    Less fat storage-little gets stored in fat cells    Helps stabilize brain waves    Metabolized without bile-gives gallbladder a rest    Helps to maintain healthy LDL levels    May increase energy expenditure    Lower caloric content (8.2 Calories per gram)    May help increase HDL levels    Improves absorption of vitamin E, calcium, and magnesiumUnlike most other cooking oils, MCTs are extremely stable-they do not readily become oxidized. Removing the lauric, myristic and palmitic acids and other negative elements present in the coconut oil, the extraction separates the medium-chain fatty acids. The end product is concentrated in 8-carbon caprylic acid and 10-carbon capric acid in a blended ratio of approximately 2 to 1. Glycerin removed in the initial extraction is returned and used to esterify the acids.
