MCT OIL: Coconuts have a superfood fat stored in them that can do many wonders for your body. The fat is called MCT oil or medium chain triglycerides which range from 6 carbon chains to 10 carbon chains. These medium sized fatty acids are very easily absorbed by your digestive system. Since the body becomes flooded with the bioavailable forms of fatty acids it is easier to access the ketones for energy. Read on to learn more about these amazing fatty acids.
MCT OIL PROMOTES WEIGHT LOSS: MCT oil can help you lose weight quickly. Studies show that MCTs, particularly C8 (caprylic acid) and C10 (capric acid), cause your body to burn fat and calories, no matter what kind of diet you follow. MCT oil also creates ketones, and ketones increase your metabolic rate (aka your metabolism) and burn the fat you already have. People on a the american diet may still lose weight from MCT oil from the positive effects it has on hunger hormones, the boost in metabolism, and reduction in inflammation.
MCT OIL HUNGER SUPPRESSING PROPERTIES: MCT oils fill you up. The healthy fat is satiating, so you can go for longer periods without eating, and get to lunchtime without an energy crash. There’s science behind it: MCTs raise ketones, and ketones suppress ghrelin (aka your hunger hormone), and increase cholecystokinin (CCK), which makes you feel full.
MCT OIL BRAIN BOOSTING CAPABILITIES: High-quality MCT oil turns into ketones within minutes, providing your brain with an almost immediate jolt of energy. When someone’s carbs are low enough, MCT oil can be converted into ketones, which unlike glucose, can cross the blood-brain barrier and be used as a fuel source for brain cells. As a testament to their brain power, MCTs may also help reverse neurodegenerative conditions. Research has shown that MCTs provide energy to brain cells, keeping neurons alive and potentially even reversing symptoms.
MCT OIL CARDIO PROTECTOR: A 2010 study published in the Journal of Functional Foods reported that MCTs can help against the development of metabolic syndrome — a term given to a cluster of metabolic disorders, such as abdominal obesity, hypertension and impaired fasting glucose levels. MCTs seem to be able to help decrease cardiovascular stress too. Most likely, they have this positive effect because they are anti-inflammatory, easy to digest, satiating and easily used for energy.
MCT OIL ENERGY + MOOD BOOSTER: Your brain is largely made up of fatty acids, so you need a steady supply from your diet to feel your best, think clearly, perform well at work and stay sharp well into older age. Medium-chain fats are believed to be one of the most easily digested, utilized and protective fatty acids that exist. A 2004 study published in the Journal of Neurobiology of Aging found that the MCTs in coconut oil helped improve memory problems. It only makes sense that a food that supplies fuel for your brain and also helps you absorb vitamins and minerals better will also make you feel more clearheaded, energetic and positive.
MCT OIL BOOSTS DIGESTION: Both MCT oil and coconut oil are beneficial for balancing bacteria in the gut microbiota, which in turn has positive effects on the digestive symptoms, energy expenditure, and the ability to absorb vitamins and minerals from the foods you eat. Medium-chain fats can help kill a wide range of pathogenic viruses, fungi, and bacteria that cause digestive issues, including candida, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, stomachaches, etc.
MCT OIL LIVER SUPPORTER: MCFAs (medium chain fatty acids) are immediately transported from the digestive tract into the liver without needing bile to be metabolized. They are then used for energy rather than being stored in the body like other types of fats. The conversion of MCFAs into energy is thought to benefit the liver by reducing its workload and reducing fat accumulation.
