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.

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.

Lowers cholesterol
This product has effectively lowered my bad cholesterol levels.

Weight loss effect
3 people found this helpful
I purchased this to help with Candida elimination. Starting with a small amount is essential to avoid severe die-off. I've noticed a quick loss of weight around my waist. Of course, eating gluten or sugar can cause bloating, but if I maintain my diet, it significantly impacts my health and beauty. Despite being BPA-free, I rated it 4 stars due to the safety of the bottle.
