● Because it is less likely to solidify even at low temperatures, it is recommended for cold drinks such as iced coffee and smoothies. It can also be added to soups and miso soup.
● Convenient stick-type for easy carrying during travel or outings.
It is also ideal as a gift.
● Medium-chain fatty acids are natural components found in the pulp (the seed part of the fruit) of coconuts (coconuts) and palm trees, and are the same type of fatty acids as oleic acid, which is abundant in olive oil, and linoleic acid, which is abundant in sesame oil.
● Easy and quick to digest and absorb.
Fatty acids are connected like chains, and caprylic acid (a medium-chain fatty acid), which is the main component of organic coconut MCT oil, is half the length of oleic acid and linoleic acid (long-chain fatty acids).
Because the chain is shorter, the breakdown speed is faster, making it easier for digestion and absorption to quickly convert into energy.
● Less likely to become body fat.
Long-chain fatty acids pass through the lymphatic vessels and veins from the small intestine to the body's fat tissues and muscles. Ultimately, they are transported to the liver and used as energy as needed.
The excess is stored as "accumulated storage" temporarily. If this storage continues to accumulate, it will turn into "body fat."
On the other hand, MCTs are transported directly to the liver via the "portal vein" route from the small intestine and used as energy.
During combustion, body fats stored in "accumulated storage" are also pulled out together.
● Produces "ketone bodies"
MCT generates "ketone bodies," an alternative energy source to glucose.
Glucose is the basis for moving the brain and body, but excessive intake can cause lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes and obesity.
By reducing carbohydrates and effectively consuming MCT, the "ketone body cycle" works, and using ketone bodies as the main energy source not only makes it harder to gain weight but also is said to improve concentration, Alzheimer's disease, and depression.
In carbohydrate restriction, the focus tends to be only on "reducing carbohydrates," but to properly deliver energy to the brain, intake of MCT is essential.
