WHAT IS MCT?

MCT stands for M Edium C Grove T Riglycenides-in English: Medium chain fatty acids . These are a form of easily digestible fatty acids found in coconuts and coconut oil. But breast milk is also rich in these special fatty acids. MCTs provide fast energy because they are converted to ketones.

Due to the fact that the body processes them more easily, MCTs become the preferred source of energy and not stored as body fat.

We get our MCT powder 100% from German suppliers and promise the highest quality.

ADVANTAGES OF MCT

Scientific studies have shown that the use of MCT has numerous positive properties for our body. In addition, a positive effect on the brain has been proven and is currently underway promising studies on the use of MCT oil in Alzheimer's disease.

MCT is good for athletes, for busy people and on a ketogenic diet.

In the sports world, MCT has long established a firm place because it not only provides fast energy, but also leads to less lactate formation in the muscles. Athletes Have found that they can achieve their athletic performance more easily and last longer thanks to MCT.

Also who Ketogenic Or paleo feeding or intermittent fasting benefits from MCT oil. In this case, the feeling of satiety that triggers MCT oil is particularly interesting. Another plus is the rapid processing of the MCT oil by the body, since the fats are not stored.

MCT oil has so many advantages as a natural energy supplier and nerve food that we are sure that People who are very busy, Benefit from the positive effect.

WHY DO WE USE MCT IN OUR COFFEE?

As you already know, we added the most important vitamins to our coffee. Since not every vitamin is processed equally by our body, we need to distinguish into water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins.

To the Water-soluble vitamins Include the B vitamins: B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), B8 (biotin), B9 (folic acid), B12 (cobalamin). And, of course, the well-known vitamin C.

Unlike the water-soluble vitamins, the Fat-soluble vitamins Soluble only in fats and oils. Fat-soluble vitamins include vitamins A, D, E, K.

Now if we don't MCT Add to our coffee, then our body would only absorb the water-soluble vitamins. The fat-soluble vitamins cannot be processed and our body would release them again.

MCT serves us as a carrier of the fat-soluble vitamins, so that our body absorbs them. Other fats or oils can also be used for this, but the body absorbs the fat-soluble vitamins faster thanks to the MCT. So our body is supplied with the necessary energy as quickly as possible.

WHY IS MCT A HEALTHY FAT?

As explained earlier, MCT is a source of Medium chain fatty acids (Medium chain triglycerides). Fats are often called saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. They can also be divided into short, medium-length and long fatty acid chains. The shorter the chain, the smaller the molecules. The smaller the molecules, the faster our cells can convert the fat into energy. With their 6 to 12 atoms, MCTs are a fast energy supplier.

-Short chain fatty acid Are made only by the body. They are not contained in food.

-Medium chain fatty acids Are included in an average diet only in small quantities. Coconut oil and palm kernel oil are MCT-rich oils that are about 50 to 60 percent MCT.

-Long-chain fatty acids Are contained in most fats as we normally consume, for example in fish, meat, nuts, etc. The energy is only released here six to eight hours after consumption.

Coconut oil Contains several MCTs, namely caproic acid (C6), caprylic acid (C8), capric acid (C10) and for the most part lauric acid (C12). Since lauric acid, which consists of 12 atoms, is already scientifically one of the long-chain fatty acids, A separate MCT oil Won. This mainly contains caprylic acid (C6) and capric acid (C10), but almost no lauric acid (C12). MCT is the part of the coconut oil that remains liquid at room temperature. This makes it easier to use and process in food.
