MCT oil, or Medium-chain triglycerides, are great for giving your body the boost it needs. This is because it is filled with many healthy fats, which our bodies metabolize quickly.
What is it? MCT oil is derived from coconut oil (or palm kernel oil). It is made of fatty acids. Since it is easier for the body to absorb, our bodies use it as energy, instead of storing it as fat. There are many benefits to adding this oil to your diet.
MCT oil has been found to aid digestion, help those who have fat absorption disorders (cystic fibrosis, irritable bowel disease including Crohn’s disease, pancreatitis, short bowel syndrome, celiac disease), increase energy, increase cognitive functioning & memory, and can even lead to weight loss.
I've been using MCT oil off and on for a few years now. This really helped me when I was in college and needed some help concentrating. Over time, I noticed I was more focused, and had better memory. This was huge for me while I was struggling with anxiety!
If you're looking for something with more fuel for your brain and body, try out brain octane. This is the same as MCT oil, but is more potent. I love adding this to smoothies or coffee! One of my favorite brands is Bulletproof.
