Medium-Chain Triglycerides - MCT medium-chain triglycerides have become especially popular as the benefits of nutritional ketosis spread. Ketones are produced by burning high-quality fats, which instead of glucose from carbohydrates become the body's primary fuel.
Ketones are the perfect fuel for your mitochondria because they burn cleanly and produce significantly fewer harmful free radicals or reactive oxygen species (ROS) compared to glucose from carbohydrates.
MCT oil is especially valuable in creating ketones and maintaining nutritional ketosis. MCTs bypass normal digestive processes, pass through the intestinal membrane and go directly to the liver, where they are used as clean-burning fuel for the entire body and brain. MCT oil is a great way to gain extra fat. It is completely odorless and tasteless, so it can be added to food and drinks, which will allow you to obtain additional, healthy calories from fat. Due to the rapid conversion into energy, MCTs are an ideal way to suppress hunger attacks and increase satiety and satisfaction resulting from being on a ketogenic diet.
When reaching for MTC oil, you should know that there are many different types of such oil. Depending on the chemical structure or length of the carbon, they are more or less easily converted into ketones. MCT with shorter chains is the oil that is much more easily converted into ketones. Most commercial brands of MCT oil are typically 50/50 combinations of C8 and C10 fats. Some contain very little C8 because it is the most expensive MCT fat and relatively difficult to find.
Dr. Mercola Biothin® Ketone Energy MCT Oil is simple C8 (caprylic acid) because it converts into ketones much faster than C10 fats and is much better digested. Another element to note is that unlike other types of fats, C8 is water-soluble and crosses the blood-brain barrier to provide brain tissue with fuel.
