Food supplement with MCT oil
Organic MCT Oil according to Dr. med. Michalzik
Highly pure MCT oil from fresh coconuts from Sri Lanka with a particularly high content of C8 (caprylic acid) and C10 (capric acid). The special composition provides 98% C8 + C10 in the optimal ratio and stands for fast, efficient energy availability. The C8/C10 ratio is 60:40.
MCT stands for “Medium Chain Triglycerides” – medium-chain fatty acids that are metabolized differently by the body compared to long-chain fatty acids. While conventional fats require several conversion steps, MCTs go directly to the liver where they can quickly be converted into energy.
This organic MCT oil deliberately contains only the medium-chain fatty acids C8 (caprylic acid) and C10 (capric acid). C8 is known for particularly rapid energy availability, while C10 provides energy slightly later. The combination allows a gradual, steady supply of energy.
Free from C16 and long-chain fatty acids – for maximum purity and optimal tolerance. Production takes place under strict quality standards in Germany. The raw material base consists of organic coconuts from Sri Lanka.
Organic MCT oil is particularly popular as part of a keto, low-carb, or paleo diet, as well as among athletes and people who value mental performance and rapid energy supply. Thanks to its neutral taste, it can be used in many different ways.
100% pure quality – without additives.
Developed by physicians, laboratory tested, and manufactured in Germany.
Important Questions about Organic MCT Oil
What is MCT oil?
MCT oil consists of medium-chain triglycerides, usually derived from coconut oil. These fatty acids are metabolized faster than long-chain fats and serve as a rapidly available source of energy for the body.
What do C8 and C10 mean in MCT oil?
C8 (caprylic acid) and C10 (capric acid) refer to the length of the fatty acid chains. C8 is converted into energy particularly quickly, while C10 works slightly more slowly but provides longer-lasting energy. A high proportion of both fatty acids is considered a quality feature.
Why is a high C8 content important?
C8 has the shortest chain length among MCT fatty acids and can be particularly efficiently converted into ketone bodies. For this reason, it is often preferred in ketogenic nutrition.
Is MCT oil suitable for a ketogenic diet?
Yes, MCT oil is frequently used within a ketogenic or low-carb diet, as it can support the formation of ketone bodies and serves as a fast source of energy.
How can you recognize high-quality MCT oil?
Quality indicators include a high proportion of C8 and C10, the absence of C16, transparent sourcing of raw materials, and production under controlled conditions.
Is MCT oil tasteless?
Pure MCT oil from coconut is almost tasteless and can be easily incorporated into drinks or foods without significantly altering their flavor.
