Not true. As we’ve always said, and science corroborates, full spectrum extracts are better for the consumers for a variety of reasons we’ve covered many times. What we haven’t covered is the carrier oil, chosen purposefully for how its processed and its benefits, and how it plays an important part in bioavailability.
MCT oil has been dubbed a super fuel since our bodies absorb MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides) more rapidly than LCTs (long-chain triglycerides), i.e. olive oil.
Due to their shorter chain length, MCTs travel straight from the gut to the liver where they are quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, leading to higher absorption rates. They do not require stomach acid or bile to break them down to be utilized by the body, making them incredibly efficient and effective, and reducing loss during the digestion process.
BONUS: MCTs, since they can easily enter your cells without being broken down, can be used as an immediate source of energy. Additionally, they can be converted into ketones which can pass through the blood-brain barrier, making them a convenient source of energy for your brain cells. Pair that with the benefits of CBD, you have a 1-2 punch for neurological conditions like epilepsy, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s!
It’s important to note: The same cannot be said of our capsules as they do NOT contain MCT oil and must go through the digestive process.
