MCT oil is comprised of medium-chain triglycerides that are absorbed quickly by the bloodstream because they are easy to digest. MCT oil is highly recommended in functional medicine or medicine in which healthy eating is part of healing because it fuels the body with energy.  It also offers the following health benefits:

  1. Improves energy production in cell mitochondria.
  2. Improves satiety and prevention of excess food intake.
  3. Supports cognitive function and brain health.
  4. Stimulates the production of anti-inflammatory ketones, especially when used as part of ketogenic or keto-learning diets.

There are multiple easy ways to consume it: in your salad dressing, add it to your coffee or tea or smoothie, and drizzle it on your steamed vegetables. If you have not had MCT oil before, 1 tablespoon a day is a good amount to start.
