NOW Foods MCT Oil Organic (16oz)
by NOW Foods
"USDA organic MCT oil from coconut — C8 and C10 medium-chain triglycerides for rapid ketone production and sustained energy"
Overview
NOW Foods MCT Oil provides 14g of medium-chain triglycerides per tablespoon from USDA organic coconut oil, containing primarily caprylic acid (C8) and capric acid (C10). MCTs are rapidly absorbed and transported directly to the liver for conversion to ketones, providing quick energy without the insulin spike of carbohydrates. This makes MCT oil popular for ketogenic diets, intermittent fasting, and cognitive performance. The organic certification ensures no hexane extraction or chemical processing.
