In this podcast, we’re going to talk about MCT oil—specifically the different types of fatty acids and their different functions.

What's MCT oil?

MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides) are types of fat that don’t need help from your gallbladder. They can be turned into ketones pretty fast. Medium-chain triglycerides can be extracted from coconut oil or palm oil. MCTs are really good for people starting out in ketosis.

MCT oil benefits:

• Reduce appetite

• Increase brain energy

• Decrease cravings

• Feeds brain/heart

• Doesn’t get stored as fat

Types of MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides):

C6 Caproic -

• Turns to ketones

• Very few available

C8 Caprylic -

• Quick, stable mental energy

• Mental clarity

• Antibacterial (strep, staph)

C10 Capric -

• Powerful anti-fungal (candida)

2:01.7	So the big problem with this fat is there's just not enough of it
