Keto diet

MOGO MCT oil contains only medium chain triglycerides and no long chain fatty acids. Our cold pressed extraction process produces a certified high percentage of C8 (caprylic acid) and C10 (capric acid) MCT’s. Consuming MCT oil is proven to increase energy as it provides direct fuel for your brain and body and also increases fat burn. This happens as the oil bypasses normal fat digestion and heads straight to the liver where it is quickly metabolized by the body and converted into energy. This energy source is know as keytones.

MCT oil is popular among those following a keto diet, which is very low in carbs, moderate in protein, and high in fats. The high intake of fat and low intake of carbs puts your body in a state of nutritional ketosis, in which it burns fat instead of glucose for fuel. Compared with coconut oil, MCT oil is better for ketone production and maintaining ketosis. Fatty acids that promote the formation of ketones are called ketogenic. One study in humans found that caprylic acid was three times more ketogenic than capric acid, and about six times more ketogenic than lauric acid. Several studies have also shown that MCT oil may aid fat loss by boosting metabolism and promoting greater feelings of fullness compared with coconut oil and LCTs.
