MCT versus Coconut Oil
MCT oil is a type of saturated fat and contains a very high concentration of MCTs. MCT’s are medium-chain triglycerides meaning medium chain length of fatty acids. Long-chain triglycerides are found in most dietary sources of fat, such as avocado, fish, olive oil, and seeds. MCTs, do not require enzymes or bile acids for optimal digestion and absorption compared to long-chain triglycerides. MCTs can travel straight to the liver, where they are rapidly digested and absorbed. At this point, they can be easily converted into immediate energy or turned into ketones. Ketones are used for energy instead of glucose or sugar and are compounds produced in the liver once it breaks down fat. MCT oils usually contain 50-80% caprylic acid and roughly 20-50% caproic acid. Coconut oil is made from the kernel portion of coconuts. Coconut oil naturally contains MCTs (42% lauric acid, 7% caprylic acid, and 5% capric acid), long-chain triglycerides, and unsaturated fats. Coconut oil contains a high amount of lauric acid which slows down digestion and absorption. Therefore, coconut oil is not a good source of MCT oils when you are wanting a high dose of MCT oils alone.
