The shelf life of MCT powder is much higher than that of the oil component. When purchasing MCT oil, you must be sure that the product is fresh and has not been sitting in a warehouse or store shelf too long.
What are Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT)?
VPA® MCT or Medium Chain Triglycerides are a form of fat that provides an easily digested, calories dense energy source.
MCT can be either in liquid or powder form. VPA® MCT is in a powder form. The product is made by processing palm and coconut oil kernels via a process called fractionation. Basically it involves extracting and isolating the medium-chain triglycerides from the kernel oils and creating a powder.
How do MCTs work?
Medium Chain Triglycerides are shorter than the long-chain triglycerides (LCTs), which means that they are broken down and absorbed into the body a lot faster. MCTs, unlike the LCTs, go straight into your liver, where they are available to be used as an instant energy source or turned into ketones. A ketone is a substance produced when the liver breaks down a large amount of fat.
Due to the nature of the MCTs, they are less likely to be stored as fat.
Who should take MCT?
