Dr. Formulated ORGANIC COCONUT MCT OIL is 100% organic coconut oil and delivers 13g of MCTs—including Caprylic and Capric acids—per serving. Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) are healthy fatty acids that are easily digested and burned by the body for fuel and energy.

MCTs are highly prized because being smaller molecules they can pass directly through the intestinal lining straight into the hepatic portal vein. Thus, they go directly to the liver to be rapidly converted to ketones which are used as a source of fast energy. Many MCTs on the market are manufactured using harsh chemicals and are extracted using solvents—typically hexane is used. Our process is hexane free, we start with certifi ed organic coconuts and there is complete traceability throughout the process. Like all coconut MCT oil, the process involves distillation and fractionation. We have third-party certifi cations, including Certifi ed USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verifi ed so our customers have reassurance that our ingredients, facility and the developmental process is clean and verifi ed free of solvents and chemicals according to the National Organic Program. Dr. Formulated ORGANIC COCONUT MCT OIL gives you “fast fuel” and is perfect for Paleo and Ketogenic diets.

How do MCTs help with fi tness? MCTs, including coconut oil, are burned by the body for energy, or “fuel,” instead of being stored as fat. Studies in both men and women have been conducted using MCTs and have shown that MCTs increase energy expenditure and raise the metabolic rate. 

Why do athletes use MCT Oil? MCTs are an especially benefi cial supplement for fueling physical exertion, given their high energy density content, rapid rate of absorption and quick metabolic conversion into cellular energy. MCT Oil and the brain Your brain is largely made up of fa y acids. Medium-chain fats are believed to be one of the most easily digested and utilized fa y acids that exist. According to leading neurologist Dr. Perlmu er, you can boost the availability of ketones for your brain by simply adding coconut oil or MCT oil to your daily regimen.
