The main constituents of body fat in humans and animals, MCTs – medium chain triglycerides – are a unique type of fatty acids that can be found mainly in coconut oil.
MCTs are best digested in our intestine: they go directly from the gut to the liver to be used as an instant source of energy themselves or to be quickly converted into ketones, chemicals produced by our liver when breaking down fats.
Ketones provide the brain and muscles with fast and healthy energy, levelling it up without being stored as fat tissue in our body.
Due to their peculiar features, MTCs are ideal in ketogenic diets, weight management, sports nutrition, functional food, nutritional products, etc.
C8 MCT (also called caprylic acid) is usually considered a more premium source of MCT as ingested C8 turns almost instantly into ketones.
The main sources of C8 MCT are coconut, palm oil, butter and the milk of mammals.
C8 leads to better physical performance, more mental clarity and more stable energy in just a few minutes.
Also, C8 is a powerful antibacterial that fights infections and can help to fight gut inflammation.
All these benefits are the reason why many keto brands prefer to use C8 MCT in their products.
