In recent years, there has been a steady demand for MCT oil in Malaysia.
If you keep up with the keto diet, you probably have heard of this oil.
This can be credited to the rise in coconut oil popularity across the world.
What is MCT oil?
MCT oil is a supplement made from medium-chain triglycerides fat.
Medium-chain triglycerides fat is found in coconut oil and dairy products.
MCT is processed by the body differently than long-chain fatty acids and goes straight to the liver from the gut.
It is used as a source of energy.
This is due to the MCT molecules being smaller than those in long-chain triglycerides (LCT), making it easier to digest and be absorbed into the bloodstream quickly.
MCT is also turned into ketones, a type of substance produced when the liver breaks down a lot of fat.
Ketones are more often used by the brain for energy.
That is why staying on a keto diet with MCT is easier as you will be able to eat more carbohydrates.
Benefits of MCT oil
We’ve heard of it everywhere and there is an abundance of articles on the benefits of using MCT oil on the web.
Among the said benefits of MCT oil are it improves the ability to think, helps in losing weight and increases endurance.
How far is this true, we’re not certain.
Let’s check out some of the benefits of MCT oil:
1. Reduces the risk of heart diseases
Heart diseases are caused by high cholesterol, blood pressure, inflammation, being overweight and smoking.
MCT is proven to be able to counter those and reduce risks of heart diseases.
2. Boosts energy and increases endurance
Studies have proven that MCT oil boosts energy and improves endurance.
This is thus the reason why it becomes famous among athletes when they work out.
It was found that athletes consuming food rich in MCT could endure a high-intensity exercise for a longer time.
3. Promotes weight loss
Scientists claim that MCT oil helps with weight loss.
MCT oil is easily absorbed into the bloodstream, thus it is not stored as fat in the body.
As a result, combining MCT oil in your diet with exercises, you’ll lose weight in no time.
4. Lower blood sugar levels
MCT oil increases glucose tolerance and protects against insulin resistance, which in turn helps improve blood sugar levels.
