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.

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.

The product can help you lower your cholesterol levels. You can begin with one teaspoon per day, increasing gradually to four tablespoons daily as the maximum dose. It mixes well with tea, coffee, or even salads; you wouldn't even notice it's there.

Constipation improvement noted
1 people found this helpful
Constipation has disappeared, and I've lost weight! I started my diet and, after some research, chose MCT oil. I used another expensive brand before, but it was unfeasible. About three months ago, I began taking this Nature's Way MCT oil, adding a teaspoon to my morning coffee. The results were immediate—I now have normal stools and have lost a total of 4 kg in three months. It seems the improvement in my constipation is why I lost weight. This tasteless oil is easy to drink and affordable.

Supports ketogenic diet

I add MCT oil to my coffee every morning. As it is safe to use during pregnancy, I'm currently using it in my decaffeinated coffee. For breakfast, I only have fruit and yogurt, but this oil helps me stay satisfied until lunch. It's become part of my daily routine, and I plan to keep using it as it aided me in my ketogenic diet.

I can't live without this! It helped me immensely with constipation, something I struggled with even using laxatives! Mixing it with coffee every morning ensures I go every day. It has no taste or smell, making it easy to incorporate into my routine. Delivered in great condition, I recommend starting with a spoonful and adjusting as needed.

Suppresses hunger effectively

Great product! This high-quality, pure organic MCT oil is excellent for sports and dietary nutrition, especially if you're following a keto diet. The coconut taste is hardly noticeable. I find the package convenient—one press for a portion to add to my coffee. It improves metabolism and helps me feel less hungry for longer, giving me an energy rush.

Boosts energy effectively
7 people found this helpful
Excellent oil! This high-quality oil is ideal for anyone looking to lose weight. MCT oil absorbs quickly and provides a good energy boost. I use it in salads and for making my "armoured" coffee. It's important to note that it is a bit runny compared to traditional oils, so I recommend pouring it carefully onto a spoon first.

Supports ketosis process

I’ve been using MCT oil for years. This product supercharges my weight loss efforts. I use two tablespoons daily. If you’re in ketosis, it enhances calorie burning. Even if you slip on your keto diet, this product quickly helps restore your ketones. I highly recommend it as it has very little taste; I add some to my morning coffee.
