MCT POWDER / 200 g

OstroVit MCT Oil is a dietary supplement that is a source of medium-chain MCT fatty acids. Convenient powder form. This product is especially recommended for athletes and physically active people. MCT oil or medium-chain triglycerides are saturated fats consisting of fatty acids containing 6-10 (and according to some sources even 12) carbon atoms. MCT oil is most commonly obtained from coconut oil, as well as palm oil or milk fat. Although it is a saturated fat, it differs from other fatty acids in this group due to, among other things, a different absorption method - MCT oil is absorbed by the intestinal epithelial cells and goes directly to the liver via the portal vein, which means the compound enters the bloodstream from the digestive tract at a rate comparable to glucose. Additionally, its digestion does not require the presence of lipase and bile, which favorably affects the speed of the process. MCT oil consists of fatty acids such as caproic acid, which contains six carbon atoms, caprylic acid with eight carbon atoms, or capric acid, which consists of ten carbon molecules. It is a product often used as a component in vitamin supplements - as a fat source, MCT oil positively affects the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Additionally, the compound is an energy source characterized by a neutral taste and smell, which is why people on ketogenic diets use it willingly, for example, as an ingredient in bulletproof coffee. MCT oil is also used in cosmetics as an ingredient in skin and hair care products.
