Medium Chain
Triglycerides
-- fractionated from palm and / or
coconut oil --
What is MCT-Oil and where does it
come from?
Medium chain triglycerides (MCT) - are
fats that are naturally found in coconut and/or palm kernel
oil.
Fat molecules are structured in "chains." As the
name implies, medium chain triglycerides (MCT’s) are
shorter than the long chain triglycerides. This makes them
more easily digested by the body than long chain
triglycerides.
"Fractionated palm / coconut oil" is a fraction of
the whole oil, in which most of the long-chain triglycerides
are removed so that only saturated fats remain. It may also
be referred to as "caprylic/capric triglyceride"
or medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil because mostly the
medium-chain triglycerides caprylic and capric acid) are
left in the oil.
Caprylic acid (C:8) is often extracted from MCT oil and used
for cosmetic purposes. Capric fatty acid (C:10) is often
used in food flavoring.
Alpha Supreme MCT-OIL is
100% fractionated MCT. The 60/40 Superior Formula is
composed of 60% caprylic acid C:8 and 40% capric acid C:10.
MCT-Oil does not have any noticeable smell, is a liquid at
room temperature, MCT oil is most frequently used for
medical applications and special diets.
This type of oil, due to being completely saturated, is even
more heat stable than other types of coconut oil and has an
indefinite shelf life.
What is MCT-Oil used for?
MCT Oils are not suitable for soap making, however they are suitable for body and muscle building as well as weight loss.
MCT Oil And Its Miracle Benefits
|
| High quality raw coconut oil is a unique kind of healthy saturated fat because it boasts a spectrum of nine different fatty acids—the majority being medium chain fatty acids, or medium chain triglycerides (MCTs). Some of these MCTs, such as lauric acid and caprilic acid, have the very special status of being fats with beneficial and medicinal values, which means MCT-Oil itself is an especially healing liquid. |

MCT-Oil burns fat to lose weight |
 |
The MCTs in coconut oil can help you lose fat, provided you know how to use it. Two MTCs that are especially helpful include capric C10 acid and caprylic C8 acid. Together, in a ratio of 60/40, these are invaluable, safe and natural aids in weight control. Alpha Health Products has made this exclusive MCT-Oil formula available in Canada. Eating too much and exercising too little are the main reasons for upsetting the energy balance, including fat storage, in the body. Coconut oil and MCT-Oil helps you to stop eating too much by satisfying the body's need for good fat and nutrients. Still, exercising is something that you have to do yourself. |
| In addition, MCTs are a burning fat, not a storing fat. When they are metabolized in the body they even bring some of the stored fat we have with them. Yes, it's true. Eating fat can help you lose fat, when it's MCTs, because they stimulate what's called "thermo genesis," which is the process in which the body generates energy (or heat) by increasing its normal, metabolic, fat-burning rate. |
On the other hand, diets high in carbohydrates may cause rapid increase in insulin production, resulting in substantial weight gain, diabetes and other health problems. When the body has too much glucose (from carbohydrates) it stores that excess energy as fat.
Another main reason MCTs are helpful is because they help preserve muscle mass during fat loss, especially in times of low carbohydrate dieting. One study looked at obese women on a very low-calorie diet and found that when they used MCTs instead of regular dietary fat, they lost less muscle and more body fat. The key isn't just adding MCTs to a diet; it's using them instead of other fats. Simply make your own salad dressing with lemon and MCT-Oil, flavoured with herbal salt. Or use two tablespoons of MCT-Oil in your smoothie, cutting back on all sweeteners except fruit. Use your imagination and substitute many other fats with MCT-Oil. It can also be used for hot and cold dishes like Olive oil, but should not be used for frying.
MCT-Oil, like any other oil taken for any medicinal reasons, should be introduced slowly into the diet. Until the body adjusts to its use, you may experience loose stool or even stomach cramps for a day or two. |
MCT-Oil for Endurance
|
The sports nutrition field has been quick to realize the value in substituting MCT-Oil for other dietary fats and oils. It has quickly become a favourite, instant fuel and energy source for many athletes, including marathon runners and others who participate in endurance sports.
For those athletes who find it difficult to consume sufficient total energy, consumption of 2 to 3 tablespoons (30 to 45 grams) of MCT-Oil may prove to be beneficial. MCT-Oil is burned differently than other fats, so taking this small amount is a good way to ensure that athletes can meet their needs. Consult your physical trainer or other natural health professional for specific guidance.
