Description of Essence Nutrition MCT Oil
Essence MCT Oil is a dietary supplement in the form of oil containing medium chain fatty acids from palm oil and palm kernel oil. The product is intended for adults with increased physical activity.
Fatty acids are compounds made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Depending on the length of the carbon chain, we distinguish between short-chain, medium-chain and long-chain fatty acids.
Medium chain fatty acids [ang. medium-chain triglicerides (MCT)] are classified as easily absorbable . They differ from those long chain in digestion, absorption and metabolism. They have a lower molecular weight, are absorbed directly into the portal circulation , quickly absorbed by hepatocytes and oxidized in mitochondria. Unlike most other lipid molecules that require a complex digestive process, MCTs are more easily absorbed into the bloodstream from the digestive tract . Medium chain fatty acids are more oxidized instead of fatty tissue deposition; show an effect on increasing energy expenditure - they quickly oxidize to the targetobtaining energy . They also provide less calories than long chain fatty acids.
Essence MCT Oil - add medium chain fatty acids to your diet! It's a good choice!
