Description
- NOW Sports MCT Oil substitutes other fats in a healthy diet and help support healthy weight and body composition. Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are fats that are naturally found in coconut and palm kernel oils.
- They’re more easily and rapidly digested than other types of fats. MCTs are readily absorbed from the GI tract and are metabolized very quickly by the liver, where they are reported to encourage the use of fat for energy rather than for storage.
