10x more Caprylic Acid (C8) and 4.5x more Capric Acid (C10) than found in Coconut Oil
Vale of Eden's MCT oil (Medium Chain Triglyceride Oil) is the purest on the market, Pharmaceutical Grade, Certified 99+% Pure. It is triple-distilled in an oxygen free atmosphere with no solvents ever used in the extraction process. It is 60% Caprylic Acid (C8) and 40% Capric Acid (C10). These two Medium-chain triglycerides make up only approximately 15% of coconut oil (C8 6% / C10 9%). These rarer fractions of coconut oil (C8 being the rarest and most expensive) and are what have the most powerful health benefits.
Not all MCT oils are created alike. Don’t be fooled by competitors. Carefully check their labels. Many contain high percentages of Lauric Acid (C12), which is the cheapest and longest of all chains of MCT’s and actually acts more like a long chain triglyceride with little health benefit. In fact it is proven to significantly raise cholesterol. Even worse, some MCT oil manufactures are actually deriving their oil from cheap genetically modified corn. Vale of Eden MCT is sourced exclusively from a combination of natural coconut and palm kernels.
Medium chain triglycerides, have a shorter chemical composition compared to most other fats and oils. They also are lower in calories than long chain fatty acids and fast source of clean fuel for body and brain. Medium chain fatty acids are quickly absorbed by the body and used as energy, whereas long chain fatty acids are stored as fat by the body. With fewer steps to convert into caloric energy than carbohydrates, it is one of the best ways to power up your performance or kick start a nutrition program. For this reason, MCT Oil, has been used by many to aid weight loss when on a Paleo Diet or ketogenic diet. Ketones are one of the brain’s two primary fuel sources, and also a vital source of ATP energy for the body. ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) is a high energy molecule that allows every muscle to move inside your body and is found in every cell. The ketogenic diet, is a diet designed to help the body run on ketones (from fats) rather than glycogen (from carbohydrates). Since MCT is easily absorb, requiring minimal action from the liver to covert directly into fuel (ketones), it has been used therapeutically for people with malabsorption problems, like Crohn's Disease, or persons missing one gallbladder.
MCT Oil is also gaining widespread attention within the beauty community, cosmetic and personal care industry due to its impressive silky, oil-free texture, absorbs rapidly and oxidative stability. MCT Oil is also a popular ingredient in massage formulations or used on its own as a very light, non-greasy massage oil. For aromatherapy applications, MCT Oil serves as a virtually odorless carrier for essential oils.
