The product is found useful for the following medical conditions

We examined the impact of medium-chain triacylglycerol (MCT) oil on cholesterol levels in patients with high triglycerides. Over 12 weeks, participants alternated between diets featuring corn oil and different proportions of MCT.

While MCT effectively prevented the post-meal spike in triglycerides, it also significantly raised total cholesterol levels compared to corn oil. In short, MCT oil can be beneficial in some ways, but it may not be the best choice for managing cholesterol levels in those with hypertriglyceridemia.

Lowered cholesterol levels

I mix it with green juice and find it easy to drink. It's reasonably priced for its quality! Since using it, my cholesterol level decreased, even though it was initially within the standard range. However, taking it on an empty stomach causes discomfort, so I prefer to take it after meals.

Direct absorption benefits

Most Useful Review

MCT oil (medium chain triglycerides) is composed of fatty acids absorbed directly into the bloodstream, with no associated risk of obesity. It is often recommended for individuals with impaired fat absorption due to issues with bile or lipase secretion.

I add it to my coffee when I feel hungry late in the morning. Initially, with a long empty stomach and thick sugar, I would get a headache, but it has since disappeared.

MCT oil shows promise for NAFLD

Yue H, Jia M, Li B, Zong A, Du F, et al. Medium chain triglycerides alleviate non-alcoholic fatty liver disease through bile acid-mediated FXR signaling pathway: A comparative study with common vegetable edible oils. J Food Sci. 2024;89:10171. doi:10.1111/1750-3841.17565

We investigated the effects of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) induced by obesity. By treating mice with various dietary fats over 16 weeks, we observed that MCTs significantly improved weight and blood lipid levels, and reduced liver fat more effectively than traditional vegetable oils. Significant changes in bile acid composition were also noted, with MCTs promoting beneficial FXR signaling. Overall, MCTs demonstrated a promising potential in managing NAFLD, offering a better option than common long-chain oils.

Boosted daily energy

It was astonishing from the very first spoon! I truly loved it. Its effect was evident immediately. Taking it on an empty stomach in the morning increased my energy levels throughout the day. It's excellent for athletes and anyone aiming to lose weight as it aids in entering ketosis swiftly. It's tasteless and easily digestible, making it perfect for those with liver disease and gallbladder issues. I experienced deep sleep and great concentration the following day after consuming it. However, it can act as a laxative in large doses, so I recommend starting slowly.

Swollen Lymph Nodes details

An essential product in our home! I have a sensitive body, so consuming commercially available salad oils leads to severe swelling. However, with MCT oil, I can enjoy it without any concerns, and it also helps enhance my bowel movements.

Diabetes details

Improves glucose levels

Most Useful Review

5 people found this helpful

MCT oil, or medium-chain triglycerides, is a unique type of fat discovered in the 1950s for patients who struggle to digest normal fats. It enhances sleep quality, reduces anxiety, aids in new information retention, and clarifies thinking. Additionally, it normalises intestinal microflora, boosts endurance, stabilises glucose levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes, and may prevent liver cirrhosis development.

Allergies details

Effective for allergies

Most Useful Review

I purchased this MCT oil due to its benefits for brain functions. I often added it to my coffee or took a spoonful each morning. I found it significantly improved my allergies and reduced inflammation in my body. The quality is excellent, and the large size ensures it lasts quite a while. The packaging is secure.

Bloating details

Bloating relief claimed

Most Useful Review

I had previously avoided MCT oil but decided to give it a try by adding it to coffee, milk, and soup. It refreshes me. I usually bloat easily, but after consuming this, I don’t feel heaviness or bloating, and I often need to go to the bathroom. It comes out forcefully from the container, so it takes some practice to use. It has no taste but does have a slight coconut scent, making it perfect for coffee and curries.

Excellent! MCT oil is vital for youth, providing energy by going straight to the liver without requiring carnitine or bile acids. It allows for energy from glucose or ketones, promoting brighter brain function and preserving organ health while preventing insulin resistance and cognitive decline.

MCT oil aids weight loss efforts

St-Onge MP, Ross R, Parsons WD, Jones PJ. Medium-chain triglycerides increase energy expenditure and decrease adiposity in overweight men. Obes Res. 2003;11:395.

We explored the impact of diets rich in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) on weight loss in overweight men. In a crossover study, 24 men followed MCT and long-chain triglyceride (LCT) diets for 28 days each.

Results showed that those on MCT diets experienced greater fat loss and increased energy expenditure compared to LCT. This suggests that MCTs can help in reducing body fat and potentially support weight loss strategies.

However, while MCTs seem beneficial, further research is needed for comprehensive conclusions.

Boosts weight loss

MCT oil provides energy and helps with weight loss. It’s keto approved and doesn’t alter the taste of coffee. Start with half a teaspoon and gradually increase. I found it helps curb hunger until lunchtime, which is crucial for my weight loss, while also offering an energy boost throughout the day.
