What Is MCT Oil?
2. Natural Oils Rich in MCT
While naturally occurring oils such as coconut oil and palm oil are rich in medium chain triglycerides, they are not predominantly MCT because they contain long chain triglycerides as well. All in all, use of these oils instead of others increases intake of MCT.
However, to obtain pure MCT oil, these oils need to be refined. Pure MCT oils are usually made from coconut and palm oils. Because of its purity, pure MCT can be used medicinally.
