MCT oil is most often obtained from coconut oil, as well as palm oil or milk fat. Although it is saturated fat, it differs from other fatty acids in this group, which results, among others, from a different way of absorption - MCT oil is absorbed from intestinal epithelial cells and with the help of a portal vein goes directly to the liver, which means that the compound from the digestive system gets directly into the circulatory system at a rate similar to glucose. In addition, its digestion does not require the presence of lipase and bile, which favorably affects the pace of the process. MCT oil consists of fatty acids, such as caproic acid containing six carbon atoms, eight-carbon caprylic acid, or capric acid consisting of ten carbon molecules. It is a product that is often used as a component of vitamin dietary supplements - as a source of fat, MCT oil has a positive effect on the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. In addition, the compound is a source of energy, which is distinguished by a neutral taste and smell, thanks to which it is willingly used by people on a ketogenic diet, i.a. as an ingredient of bulletproof coffee. MCT oil is also used in cosmetics as an ingredient in skin and hair care products.
