Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCT) oil

MCT Oil – Premium Medium-Chain Triglycerides with 95%+ C8/C10 Content

MCT Oil (Medium-Chain Triglycerides Oil) is a specialized functional lipid consisting primarily of caprylic acid (C8) and capric acid (C10), known for their rapid absorption and quick energy conversion. Our premium MCT Oil contains over 95% combined C8 and C10 fatty acids, delivering maximum efficiency for energy production and cognitive support. Available in Palm Kernel Source and Coconut Source options, this odorless, colorless oil serves as an ideal base for ketogenic products, sports nutrition, dietary supplements, and functional foods where rapid energy delivery and excellent stability are required.

Product Overview

Our MCT Oil represents the pinnacle of purification technology, delivering an exceptionally pure and concentrated source of medium-chain triglycerides. Through advanced fractionation and distillation processes, we achieve a remarkable 95%+ concentration of the most effective MCTs (C8 and C10), significantly higher than conventional MCT oils typically containing 50-70% C8/C10. This high purity translates to faster absorption, more efficient energy conversion, and reduced likelihood of digestive discomfort. Both our palm kernel and coconut sourced variants deliver identical purity and performance, giving formulators flexible sourcing options while maintaining consistent quality and functionality across all applications.

Technical Advantages

Experience the superior benefits of our high-purity MCT Oil:

Optimal C8/C10 Ratio: With over 95% combined caprylic and capric acid content, our oil provides the most efficient fatty acid profile for rapid energy production and ketone generation

Dual Sourcing Options: Choose between palm kernel derived (non-GMO, RSPO certified sustainable) and coconut derived (traditional, widely accepted) sources with identical specifications

Superior Digestive Tolerance: Higher purity translates to reduced gastrointestinal issues commonly associated with lower-grade MCT oils containing longer-chain triglycerides

Excellent Stability & Neutral Profile: Odorless, colorless, and thermally stable with exceptional resistance to oxidation, making it ideal for sensitive formulations

Rapid Energy Conversion: Medium-chain triglycerides bypass normal fat digestion, providing quick energy for both physical and cognitive performance

Versatile Solvent Properties: Excellent carrier for fat-soluble compounds like vitamins, cannabinoids, and flavors

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the difference between your palm kernel and coconut sourced MCT oils?

A: Both sources deliver identical purity (95%+ C8/C10) and performance characteristics. The palm kernel option typically offers better supply consistency and sustainability certification (RSPO), while the coconut source aligns with traditional consumer preferences. The molecular structure and benefits are identical regardless of source.

Q2: Why is 95% C8/C10 content important?

A: Higher C8/C10 concentration means faster absorption, more efficient ketone production, and reduced digestive discomfort. Many commercial MCT oils contain significant amounts of C12 (lauric acid), which behaves more like a long-chain triglyceride and doesn't provide the same rapid energy benefits.

Q3: Is your MCT Oil suitable for the ketogenic diet?

A: Absolutely. Our high-purity MCT Oil is ideal for ketogenic applications as it's rapidly converted by the liver into ketones, providing an efficient energy source that supports and maintains ketosis more effectively than lower-grade MCT oils.

Q4: What is the recommended usage level in formulations?

A: Usage levels vary by application. For sports nutrition and keto products, typical usage is 5-15% of formulation. We recommend starting with lower levels and increasing gradually. Our technical team can provide specific guidance for your application.

Q5: How does your MCT Oil compare to coconut oil?

A: While coconut oil contains about 15% naturally occurring MCTs, our MCT Oil is concentrated to over 99% MCTs with 95%+ being the most effective C8 and C10 fractions. This makes it significantly more potent for energy and cognitive benefits.

Q6: Is your palm kernel MCT Oil sustainably sourced?

A: Yes, our palm kernel MCT Oil is sourced from RSPO Mass Balance certified suppliers committed to sustainable and deforestation-free practices. We provide full traceability and certification documentation.

Q7: Can I use MCT Oil for high-temperature cooking?

A: While MCT Oil has a moderate smoke point (around 160°C/320°F), it's not ideal for prolonged high-temperature cooking as medium-chain triglycerides can break down. It's best used in low to medium-heat applications or added to foods after cooking.

Q8: What makes your MCT Oil more easily digestible?

A: The high concentration of C8 and C10 fatty acids allows them to be absorbed directly through the portal vein to the liver, bypassing the complex digestion process required for long-chain fats. This results in quicker energy availability and reduced digestive strain.

Q9: Do you offer organic certified MCT Oil?

A: Yes, we offer USDA and EU organic certified options for our coconut sourced MCT Oil. Please contact us for specific availability and certification details.

Q10: Can MCT Oil be used in cosmetic formulations?

A: Yes, its light texture, excellent spreadability, and good solubility properties make it valuable in cosmetics as a non-greasy emollient and carrier oil for active ingredients. It's particularly suitable for face oils, serums, and hair care products.
