MCT Oil by NOW FOODS is a liquid medium-chain triglyceride oil obtained mainly from coconut and palm kernel oil. It is a neutral-tasting fat that can be added to drinks, shakes or food.
The liquid format suits anyone looking for a simple way to include MCT fats in everyday meals as part of a varied, balanced diet.
Medium-chain triglycerides are fatty acids with chains of 6 to 12 carbon atoms. They occur naturally in coconut oil, palm kernel oil and milk. MCT Oil by NOW FOODS provides these triglycerides in liquid form from coconut and palm kernel oil, with a composition of approximately 50% caprylic acid (C8) and 30% capric acid (C10). Each tablespoon delivers 14 g of MCT oil as a straightforward dietary fat source.
One tablespoon can be taken daily and stirred into shakes, smoothies, coffee, salad dressings or sauces, or used in place of other oils in cooking. It is not recommended for frying due to its lower smoke point.

Can MCT oil be mixed with collagen powder or other supplements?

How does liquid MCT oil differ from regular coconut oil?
This liquid MCT oil provides concentrated medium-chain triglycerides, mainly caprylic (C8) and capric (C10) acids, whereas regular coconut oil contains a broader mix of different fatty acids.
