MCT oil (medium-chain triglyceride oil) is one of the most popular supplements in the keto community, and for good reason. It provides fast, efficient fuel for both your brain and body.
MCT oil is a concentrated source of medium-chain triglycerides, which are a type of saturated fat found naturally in coconut oil and dairy. Unlike long-chain fats, MCTs are rapidly absorbed and converted into ketones by the liver.
MCT oil can help you get into ketosis faster, provide a quick energy boost, improve mental clarity, support weight loss and reduce hunger. Many keto dieters add it to their morning coffee — often called bulletproof coffee.
Start with one teaspoon per day to avoid digestive discomfort and gradually increase to one to two tablespoons. Add it to coffee, smoothies, salad dressings or keto shakes.
Look for brands like Bulletproof, Bulletproof XCT, Hunter & Gather, Conscious Coconut and Onnit in UK health stores and Amazon. Choose C8 (caprylic acid) dominant oils for the strongest ketone-boosting effect.
