MCTs, or medium chain triglycerides, may sound complicated, but they’re actually pretty simple. Your body absorbs them faster than the long chain fats in most foods, making them a convenient source of brain and body fuel.* Plus, our MCT oil fits easily into everyday staples like coffee, smoothies, or salad dressing.
Let’s unpack how MCTs work, why Nature’s Way Organic MCT Oil is a simple source of fuel, and how to make it part of your day.*
What are MCTs?
MCTs, or medium chain triglycerides, are dietary fats that the body can use for energy. Because they have shorter chains than the triglycerides found in most fats, MCTs are digested and absorbed more quickly and can provide a readily available source of energy. They occur naturally in coconut oil, milk fat, and palm kernel oil.
What is MCT oil?
Nature's Way Organic MCT Oil is made with MCTs from premium organic coconuts and delivers 14 grams per tablespoon, including caprylic acid (C8) and capric acid (C10).‡
Here’s what makes it a standout:
- Certified Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified. No palm oil, no filler oils, no artificial colors, or flavors.
- Keto and paleo friendly. It fits neatly into low-carb routines!
- Vegan and vegetarian. One ingredient: medium chain triglycerides from organic coconut oil.
The recommendation is for adults to take one tablespoon, one to three times daily as needed. If you're new to MCT oil, start with a small dose and work your way up.
