MCT Oil: Medium Chain Triglycerides

MCT Oil medium chain triglycerides

True Cellular Formulas® MCT Oil contains only Caprylic and Capric acid made from Pure Coconut Oil. This provides a convenient alternative to traditional MCT oils and powders. It is more easily absorbed and digested, helping the body convert essential fats into cellular energy and fuel✝.

MCT Oil can: 

• Appetite control/Can promote the feeling of fullness1,✝
• Can aid in weight loss1,✝
• Can help you stay in ketosis2,✝
• Can help optimize the growth of good gut bacteria2,✝
• Support energy levels3,✝
• Antimicrobial and antifungal effects4,✝
• Improve cardiovascular health5,✝
• Help manage blood sugar levels6,✝
