MCT oil raises cholesterol levels
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.

MCT oil does not lower cholesterol
We investigated how different dietary fats affect cholesterol levels in healthy adults. Over two phases, participants consumed either butter or a mixture of butter, medium-chain triglycerides (MCT), and safflower oil.

Despite the changes in dietary fat, we found no significant differences in total cholesterol, LDL, or HDL levels between the two groups. However, the MCT mixture was linked to slightly higher triglyceride levels.

This suggests that while MCT oil blended with other fats doesn't lower cholesterol, it might increase triglycerides modestly.

MCT oil is a source of fatty acids essential for the proper functioning of all bodily systems. This product, containing medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), is beneficial at any age. It aids weight loss, enhances endurance, protects against aging, improves brain function, and supports the cardiovascular system. MCTs are easily absorbed, help purify the body, restore beneficial gut microflora, and normalise hormone balance. They also strengthen immunity, improve nutrient absorption, and reduce bad cholesterol, lowering the risk of heart-related issues.
