5 Amazing Health Benefits of MCT Oil

You’ve tried all the weight-loss diets and fads, but have you tried MCT oil?

MCT oil, meaning medium chain triglycerides, is a supplement composed by taking the MCT fat from coconut oil and palm oil. These MCTs easily absorb, making them easy to digest and providing an immediate source of energy for the body. In addition to some of the MCT oil weight loss properties, check out some of its other benefits below and see for yourself what these MCTs can do:

Decreases Appetite/Reduces Body Fat

Although it is made from fat, MCT has been proven to do the exact opposite for your body. MCT releases hormones that promote feelings of fullness (satiation), which tends to decrease your appetite. So instead of dipping your hand in a bag of chips after lunch, your stomach will be satisfied for at least a couple more hours. According to a recent University of Virginia study, MTCs also help reduce body size, including hips, waist, and circumference.

Helps with Brain Health

When the fat you eat hits your liver, this is when your body creates ketones. The MCTs help with the production of ketones, which can promote brain health. This could impact anything from our memory and learning capacity to our mental illness. It has even been known for treating diseases such as Alzheimer’s. In the end, these ketones are good for not just for your brain, but contribute to your body health and diet.

Keeps you Feeling Energetic

Not only do MCTs give you brain energy, but as stated above, it can directly affect your body energy! A 2018 study showed that MCT had a positive effect on participants, by doubling their exercise endurance under high temperatures. So jump on that treadmill or run around the block because, with that immediate source of energy, the sky’s the limit!

Good for the Heart

Many studies have been done on how MCT lowers cholesterol, blood pressure and helps with a heart healthy diet. A 2018 study shows that MCT oil greatly reduced cholesterol and improved cardiovascular health in rats with type 2 diabetes. Rats, who knew?

Supports a Healthy Gut

Certain MCT oils contain caprylic acid (such as C8 MCTs) to support a healthy gut microbiome. The gut is like the queen of all body health. It can be instrumental in helping us digest our food, boost our immune system, improve our metabolism, and so much more!
