About this deal

MCT oil is a dietary supplement made up of 100% MCTs. The fats that make up MCT oil are present in coconut oil, palm kernel oil, and dairy products. Manufacturers produce MCT oil by refining coconut or palm oil to create pure concentrated MCT oil. Additionally, certain studies into the benefits of coconut oil may use 100% MCT coconut oil, when most coconut oils contain 13⁠–⁠14% MCTs. This means a person would have to eat far more than the recommended amount of coconut oil to gain these benefits.

People can use both MCT oil and coconut oil in a variety of ways. Research suggests that MCT oils may be better for aiding weight loss, while people can use coconut oil for beauty applications.

Researchers found that, after applying coconut oil to hair swatches overnight, the tensile strength of twisted hair was significantly increased. Additionally, the body can convert MCTs into ketones, which are substances created by the liver when it breaks down a lot of fat. The body can use ketones as a source of energy for the brain in place of sugar or glucose. Cunnane, S. C., et al. (2016). Can ketones compensate for deteriorating brain glucose uptake during aging?

MCT oil and coconut oil are oils that are high in saturated fats. MCT oil is a concentration of MCTs, while coconut oil comes from coconuts and naturally is a good source of MCTs. Rial, S. A., et al. (2016). Gut microbiota and metabolic health: The potential beneficial effects of a medium chain triglyceride diet in obese individuals. It is important to note, however, that researchers used MCTs and not MCT oil. Further research is still necessary to see how it may affect cholesterol in humans. Improves brain function and memory Although it is an MCT, lauric acid behaves like a long-chain triglyceride (LCT) in terms of digestion. LCTs are saturated fats that have more than 12 carbon atoms. This means that the body digests lauric acid in the same way as other saturated fats. A review from 2018 noted that coconut oil may be useful in preventing hair damage due to grooming or ultraviolet (UV) light exposure. However, the author notes that further studies are necessary to confirm this effect.

A person gets most of their brain’s energy from glucose. However, according to the Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation, the brains of people who have Alzheimer’s cannot use glucose as effectively anymore.
