Pure MCT Oil 946ml by Omega Nutrition

Description

MCT oil, or medium chain triglyceride oil, is a type of medium chain fatty acid that has 8–10 carbon atoms in its chain. (Short chains have 6 and long chains have 12 or more.) Triglycerides, also known as neutral fats, are the major energy fuel of hepatocytes and skeletal muscle. They are found mainly beneath the skin, where they insulate the deeper body tissues from heat loss and protect them from injury. In solid form, triglycerides are known as fat; in liquid form, they are known as oils. Consequently, triglycerides provide the body’s most efficient and compact form of stored energy. When oxidised, they form large amounts of energy. MCT oil is not metabolised in our body the same way as other fats are. Instead of being processed via the lymphatic system, medium chain fatty acids are transported directly to the liver where they are immediately broken down and absorbed into the bloodstream.Unlike most foods that need to travel through the digestive system completely to be metabolised, MCT oil bypasses most of this process. Therefore, people with digestive disorders may find MCT oil particularly pleasing as it provides instant energy while giving the digestive organs a break. Because it is immediately absorbed into the bloodstream, you get instant energy. Perfect for an in between meal pick-me-up, as well as any athletic event. Simply take 1-2 tablespoons daily to help sustain energy (Initially start with 1 teaspoonful.) MCT oil can be used in salad dressings, added to soups or used in lieu of saturated fats in your diet. It is best to take in the morning with or without food, and you may want to take another tablespoon before a strenuous workout. Do not use in high heat applications Can be refrigerated to prolong shelf life
