Jarrow Formulas ® MCT Oil is a natural source of Caprylic (C8) and Capric (C10) fatty acids with minimal amounts of Lauric acid (C12) compared to other products, such as conventional MCT and standard coconut oil.
MCT Oil is a medium chain triglyceride and is absorbed extremely quickly, making it an effective source of quick and healthy energy for the body. Jarrow Formulas® MCT Oil provides rapid fuel for the brain and muscles.
Coconut oil naturally contains multiple types of fatty acids, but not all of them function the same way in the body. Caprylic acid (C8) and capric acid (C10) make up 7% and 8%, respectively, of the fatty acid content of coconut oil. C8 and C10 adequately compensate for the lower quantity with quality when MCTs are used for fuel. Both are used immediately by the body without the need for conversion, making them an excellent source of fuel for ATP production.
Fast fuels like MCT Oil are a great source of energy for both the brain and the muscular system. MCT Oil is an all-natural, odorless, concentrated source of MCT, making it a great addition to a healthy diet or exercise regimen. MCT Oil is also an extremely suitable product for a ketogenic diet.
