- A complex of easily digestible vegetable medium-chain fatty acids
- Readily available metabolic energy for tissues
- Source of energy
Olimp MCT Oil is a dietary supplement containing medium-chain fatty acids in an easily consumable liquid form. The supplement is odorless and tasteless, so it will even hit the taste buds of people with delicate taste buds.
Medium-chain fatty acids are compounds that in the body are used in energy processes. Thanks to their chemical structure, they do not accumulate in the form of unwanted body fat. Due to their easy metabolic availability, they can be a great addition to the diets of athletes and people on a ketogenic diet.
A source of rapidly absorbed energy
It is often said that fats, due to their chemical properties, delay gastric emptying and prolong the absorption of other nutrients in the gastrointestinal tract. However, this is not true for the entire group of these compounds, as there are exceptions.
Unlike MCT oil, standard fatty foods are a source of long-chain fatty acids, whose digestion process is much more complicated and requires the involvement of more digestive enzymes. Medium-chain fatty acids bypass this step, going directly to the portal vein and liver. From there, they are directed to various regions of the body - including the intensely working muscles. In view of this fact, it's a good idea to consume them during the peri-workout period, as they are a great source of energy needed for myocytes.
It is worth mentioning that medium-chain fatty acids intracellularly are transported inside the mitochondria without carnitine. This makes it much easier to obtain ketones from them, which are a much better source of energy than glucose.
In conclusion, Olimp MCT Oil is an excellent addition to a ketogenic diet or a supplement for athletes, which, thanks to its properties, can be an excellent source of energy.
