SO, WHAT IS MCT?

MCT is short for medium-chain triglycerides. MCT oil is a purified form of saturated fatty acids, typically from coconut or palm oil. Your body doesn’t store MCT oil as body fat (MCTs skip that step), instead, it’s immediately available to you as energy and boasts benefits such as:

  • Increased energy
  • Boosted endurance
  • Faster metabolism
  • Improved satiety
  • Brain function support
  • Gut health, and more

Read on to find 5 science-based reasons to start taking MCT oil today!

1. FASTER WEIGHT LOSS

If you’re after shedding some pounds, you’ll love this fact: studies show that MCTs can boost your fat and calorie burning, regardless of what diet you’re following. If you’re following keto, you’ll be happy to know it can help you achieve and maintain ketosis – in this state, your metabolism and fat burning are heightened.

2. INCREASED ENDURANCE

Would you like to have longer workout sessions and up the intensity of your workouts? Of course, you would. MCT oil helps improve your stamina and endurance, but how? MCT oil can be used as a fuel source, which spares muscle glycogen. What does it mean? It means you’ll be able to push further and go longer before you deplete your muscles’ energy supplies.

3. APPETITE CONTROL

If you’re struggling with staying on the weight loss wagon because you suffer from energy crashes, MCT oil is perfect for you. It fills you up for longer by raising ketones. In turn, they suppress the hunger hormone ghrelin. The result? You’re more energised, fuller and happier with less food!

4. KICK OF MENTAL ENERGY

Taking it in the morning, before you’ve had any food, will put you in a focused and alert state. It’s like upgrading yourself for the day!

WHERE TO GET IT?

MCTs don’t exist in nature in their pure forms, but they can be extracted and purified. We did that and put it in our delicious coconut flavoured MCT Slim Drink with pure MCT coconut oil. It’s quickly absorbed and starts acting right away!

It will help you boost your weight loss and burn more fat!
