MCT Oil USP is Optimum Therapeutic Solutions' high-quality blend of medium-chain triglycerides. MCTs are fatty acids that metabolize faster and more efficiently than their long-chain counterparts. While most fats and oils contain LCTsä MCT's more closely resemble carbohydrates in length making them easier to absorb for faster energy conversion in the body. Because the MCT calories are converted into fuel much fasterä they are not stored as fat and can be utilized almost immediately. 
MCTs are found in four different forms: caproic acid, caprylic acid, capric acid, and lauric acid. Each one has a slightly different chemical structure. You can find them naturally in coconut oil, cowês milk, or palm kernel oil. OTSês MCT OIL USP contains 14 gm of caprylic and capric acid combined.
By containing fewer calories than LTCs, MCTs can also help boost your metabolism and power your mitochondria!  These fats support more fat burning by increasing your body's thermogenesis (heat production). MCT Oil USP is a great way to add beneficial fatty acids to any diet and make meals tastier and more healthy - rememberä MCT Oil can be added to sauces and dressings but shouldn't be used when frying or cooking. 
MCT oil may also help with epilepsy management, aid in the prevention of Alzheimerês disease, may also help prevent malnutrition in digestive disorders.
