Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are a type of fat. Looking at them chemically, they have shorter fatty-acid chains compared to long- chain fats (the common fats typically found in our diets), and that means they can work more quickly, providing a fast source of energy.
How does MCT Oil Work? When MCTs are consumed, they go straight to the liver, where they’re rapidly digested and absorbed, or, if you’re on a ketogenic diet, they provide the building blocks for ketones, which the body uses in place of carbohydrate for fuel.
This fast turnaround makes supplementing with MCTs for the keto dieter what hitting the nitro button is to a street drag racer!
Onnit’s MCT Oil is sourced from coconut oil but is more concentrated, providing more MCTs and a greater percentage of caprylic acid, which helps to form ketone bodies. This is good news for followers of a ketogenic diet, as MCT Oil is better than coconut oil for getting into and maintaining ketosis.
