MCT oil is a supplement made from a type of fat called medium-chain triglycerides. MCT molecules are smaller than those in most of the fats you eat that is why it makes them easier to digest.
You can absorb MCT in your bloodstream quickly. This turns it into energy you can use.
The way people get MCT oil from coconut or palm kernel oil is through a process called fractionation. This separates the MCT from the original oil and concentrates it.
Numerous researches on effects of MCT in people show that its use may help in problems taking in fat or nutrients, weight loss, appetite control, extra energy for exercise, inflammation. However, more research is needed to identify all the beneficial features listed above in pets usage.
