What is MCT oil? How do we use it? Medium chain triglycerides (MCT = Medium Chain Triglycerides) are fats found in foods such as coconut oil. They are metabolized differently from long chain triglycerides (LCT) found in most other foods. The main advantage of MCT is the energy effect on our body.

MCT Oil represents: -A rapid source of energy for all people who have demanding daily activities (both sports and intellectual).-A staple food for performance athletes, as it can reduce muscle glycogen consumption by using fat as energy.-Anti-bacterial and anti-viral agent, a good supporter of the immune system.-Ingredient that can help with weight loss. MCT oil integrated in a balanced diet can support lipolysis and can help reduce body fat. In addition, it reduces cravings for sweets and increases the feeling of satiety, of fullness in the stomach.-A beneficial food for people with fat absorption disorders. -An ideal source of healthy fatty acids, as part of a balanced diet.

What do we know about triglycerides? We know that triglycerides appear, for example, in medical tests, but what is the connection between them and MCT oil? Triglyceride is the technical term for fat. Triglycerides have two main purposes - either they are consumed for energy or stored as body fat. Triglycerides are named after their chemical structure, especially after the length of their fatty acid chains. We want triglycerides to be consumed as much as possible for energy by the metabolic system, and not stored. Medical tests indicate, among other things, whether they are in normal values or too many deposits are formed.

The medium chain triglycerides MCT we are referring to are metabolized differently. Given the shorter chain length of MCTs, they are rapidly broken down and absorbed into the body for energy consumption.

Unlike longer chain fatty acids, MCT oils pass directly to the liver, where they can be used as an instant energy source or converted into ketones. Ketones are substances produced when the liver breaks down large amounts of fat. Unlike regular fatty acids, ketones can go directly to the brain, a major energy user. This thus represents an alternative energy source for the brain, which normally uses glucose for fuel. Because the calories contained in MCTs are more efficiently converted into energy and used by the body, they are less likely to be stored as fat.

How do we use MCT oil? You can use MCT oils in the same way you would use olive oil or butter. ●We can make a delicious salad dressing. We mix to taste MCT oil, organic apple cider vinegar, salt flavored with Mediterranean herbs and lemon juice. A little raw honey (or stevia if you are on a diet) can add extra flavor. ●Spreadable cream cheese. We mix our favorite cheese with MCT oil and aromatic herbs and we get a versatile, delicious and healthy spreadable cream that will give us more long-lasting energy than any standard cream cheese. ●Ingredient in any smoothie or protein shake. Research shows that MCT oil can help your athletic performance. If you teach your body to burn fat for fuel, such as MCTs, you can work hard without feeling the fatigue that usually occurs when blood sugar drops. Here's how it works: ketones start to fuel your body and mind in minutes, without the energy crashes that come from carbohydrates/glucose. Ketones help the brain produce more mitochondria. This gives the muscles the energy they need for a high-intensity workout. Try this: consume 1-2 tablespoons of MCT oil, 15-20 minutes before your workout. ●Make Bulletproof coffee! Stir 1 teaspoon of MCT oil into your hot cup of coffee. MCT oil is a key ingredient in the so-called "Bulletproof" / "Bulletproof" coffee. Amazingly, a cup of Bulletproof coffee in the morning helps you lose weight, and keeps you energized and focused all day long. If you don't drink coffee at all, you can put MCT oil in any other hot or cold drink. ●MCT has a low smoke point, so you'll want to avoid frying. However, it can be used to sauté, to quickly stir-fry vegetables in a pan/wok, to heat dishes. Mashed potatoes can be prepared with MCT oil and, in fact, any vegetable puree.

It is important to use high quality MCT oils, such as PRONAT MCT oil. MCT oil is commonly used as a dietary supplement. In the medical field, MCT oil is used to help patients with nutrient absorption problems (vitamins, minerals). Medium chain triglycerides are also used to increase the effectiveness of exercise in athletes, or for the efficiency of the Ketogenic diet.

There are plenty of good reasons to use MCT oil, even if you're not on a "diet". It is a natural fat that can be an excellent alternative to standard oils.

MCT oil can also be used as a base for essential oils. Essential oils are super-concentrated, which means they are far too strong to be applied as is. MCT oil is fine and absorbs quickly into the skin, you can combine it with any essential oils.
