NOW Foods MCT Oil Organic 16 fl oz

NOW® Sports MCT Oil supplies rapidly absorbed medium-chain triglycerides from coconut for clean energy and healthy weight support.* Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are fats naturally found in coconut and palm kernel oils that are more easily and rapidly digested than most other fats. MCTs are readily absorbed and metabolized quickly by the liver, where they are reported to encourage the use of fat for energy, and research suggests that substituting MCT oil for other fats in a healthy diet may help support a healthy weight and body composition.* 16 fl oz.

Frequently asked questions

What are MCTs and what do they do?
MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides) are fats from coconut that digest and absorb faster than most fats and are quickly metabolized by the liver for energy. They're popular on keto and low-carb diets and, when substituted for other fats in a healthy diet, may help support a healthy weight and body composition.*

How do I use the liquid?
Take it daily with food to minimize any GI upset. It mixes into coffee, smoothies, dressings and sauces; it isn't for frying due to a low smoke point. Start with a smaller amount and build up as you adjust.*

Is it keto-friendly?
Yes — MCT oil is a favorite on ketogenic and low-carb diets because MCTs are readily used for energy. This is a clean, coconut-sourced MCT with no carbs.*

Cautions & interactions

MCT oil may cause GI upset (loose stools or cramping), especially at first — take it with food and build up gradually to reduce this. Talk to your doctor before use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication or managing a medical condition (including liver conditions, since the liver metabolizes MCTs). It supports a healthy weight only as part of a balanced diet — not on its own. Keep out of reach of children.

Allergen information: Not manufactured with yeast, wheat, gluten, soy, corn, milk, egg, fish, shellfish or sesame ingredients. Produced in a GMP facility that processes other ingredients containing these allergens.

Caution: For adults only. MCT oil may cause GI upset. To reduce this effect, take with food. Consult physician if pregnant/nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition. Keep out of reach of children.
