OstroVit MCT coconut oil is a dietary supplement that is a source of medium-chain MCT fatty acids, which are obtained from coconut oil!
MCT oil, or medium-chain fatty acids (medium-chain triglycerides), are saturated fats that consist of fatty acids containing from 6 to 10 (and according to some sources up to 12) carbon atoms.
MCT oil is most often derived from coconut oil, as well as palm oil or milk fat. Although it is a saturated fat, it differs from other fatty acids in this group, which is due, among other things, to a different way of absorption - MCT oil is absorbed from the cells of the intestinal epithelium and with the help of the portal vein goes directly to the liver, which makes the compound from the digestive system get directly into the circulatory system at a rate similar to glucose.
In addition, its digestion does not require the presence of lipase and bile, which favorably affects the pace of the process. MCT oil consists of fatty acids such as six-carbon capric acid, eight-carbon caprylic acid, and ten-carbon capric acid. It is a product that is often used as a component of vitamin supplements - as a source of fat, MCT oil positively affects the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
In addition, the compound is a source of energy that is distinguished by its neutral taste and smell, thanks to which it is willingly used by people on a ketogenic diet, among other things as a component of bulletproof coffee (bulletproof coffee). MCT oil is also used in cosmetics as an ingredient in skin and hair care products.
