MCT oil – medium-chain fatty acids
MCT oil, or medium-chain fatty acids (medium-chain triglycerides), are saturated fats that consist of fatty acids containing from 6 to 10 (and according to some sources up to 12) carbon atoms.

MCT oil is most often derived from coconut oil, as well as palm oil or milk fat. Although it is a saturated fat, it differs from other fatty acids in this group, among other things, due to its different way of absorption – MCT oil is absorbed by the cells of the intestinal epithelium and enters the liver via the portal vein, which allows the compound to enter the bloodstream from the digestive system at a rate comparable to glucose. In addition, its digestion does not require the presence of lipase or bile, which speeds up the process.

MCT oil consists of fatty acids such as six-carbon caproic acid, eight-carbon caprylic acid, and ten-carbon capric acid. It is a product often used as a component of vitamin supplements – as a fat source, MCT oil supports the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. It is also an energy source distinguished by its neutral taste and smell, making it popular among people following a ketogenic diet, for example, as an ingredient in bulletproof coffee. MCT oil is also used in cosmetics as an ingredient in skin and hair care products.
