MCT oil stands for medium-chain triglycerides. This particular oil is easy to digest and is used in different medical settings.

The benefits of MCT oil are numerous, ranging from gastrointestinal health to metabolic health, to better heart and brain function. It is a staple of the ketogenic diet, which emphasizes high-fat and low-carb. MCT oil is generally well tolerated and absorbed because it’s a medium-chain triglyceride (fat), as opposed to a long-chain triglyceride (LCT). Among its many health offerings, increased satiety and weight loss are proven benefits of adding it to your diet. MCT oil is a supplement and should be taken in small doses to assess tolerance before increasing the amount.
