Today we’re going to talk about MCT oil and fat burning. Can MCT oil help you burn more fat? MCT stands for medium-chain triglycerides. MCT is a type of fat that can come from various things like coconuts, palm oil, and butter. But, you can also get MCT oil, which is just concentrated MCTs. 

MCT oil is unique in that it bypasses the gallbladder, bile, and enzymes. It gets absorbed in the small intestine into the lymphatic system and is then transported to the liver, where it’s turned into ketones. 

A few important things to know about MCT oil:
• It’s not normally stored as fat 
• It’s used as energy 
• It may suppress fat accumulation 
• It could increase your metabolism compared to other fats 
• It may not cause a fatty liver

MCT oil will not directly help you burn more fat. But, it will indirectly help you burn more fat. MCT oil can help you fast for longer. Being able to fast for longer may help keep your insulin low and help you lose weight. In addition, MCT oil can help suppress hunger.
