Ingredient Spotlight: MCT Oil

A new FIT20® formula calls for a special spotlight! This week, we’re excited to showcase MCT oil, an A-list ingredient with powerful benefits.

What Is MCT Oil?

MCT oil is a highly concentrated source of … you guessed it … MCTs, or Medium Chain Triglycerides. MCTs are molecules typically derived from coconut or palm kernel oil. 

Triglycerides are a form of dietary fat that give your body energy. Medium-Chain Triglycerides have shorter chains of carbon atoms, with six to 12 molecules versus the 13 or more molecules found in long-chain triglycerides. This means long-chain take more time to digest, and therefore, are more likely to be stored as fat by the body.

Thanks to their shorter chain length, MCTs are more quickly broken down and absorbed by the body. What does this mean for you? Put simply, it means they provide a quick energy source and are less likely to be stored as fat.

MCT Oil Benefits

MCTs assist with weight management by providing fewer calories per volume, supporting feelings of satiety (or fullness), and helping facilitate fat and calorie burning. MCTs also promote endurance during a workout, support a healthy inflammatory response, and have been shown to help with cognitive function.
