1.MCT oil has been linked to lower calorie intake, which could help with weight management. However, more research is needed.

2. MCT oil may support weight loss and fat loss. High-quality research is needed to determine its efficacy.

3. MCT oil is easily absorbed and transported throughout the body. It can be used as an instant source of energy or can be converted into ketones.

4. MCT oil could potentially increase fat burning and reduce the need for carbs during exercise, but evidence is mixed. It’s also unclear whether this could translate to improved exercise performance.

5. MCT oil may improve brain function, which could have benefits for people with epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, and autism. However, you shouldn’t start supplements without talking with your doctor first.

6. MCT oil contains fatty acids that have been shown to reduce the growth of yeast and bacteria. Overall, MCTs may have a variety of antimicrobial and antifungal effects, though more research is needed.

7. In some studies, MCT appears to improve blood sugar control, but evidence also suggests it could increase insulin resistance. More research is needed to draw strong conclusions.

8. MCT oil is extracted from coconut oil, palm oil or a blend of coconut and palm oil.
