MCT Coconut Swirl from Barlean's Organic Oils might provide the benefits associated with coconut oil and could support brain health and functioning. Coconut oil is a type of edible oil that is extracted from the kernel of matured coconuts.
Extra virgin coconut oil is considered stable‚ healthy‚ and naturally free from trans fatty acids. The supplement from Barlean's Organic Oils contains medium-chain fatty acids (MCTs) as opposed to long-chain triglycerides (LCTs) that are present in other cooking oils like vegetable and canola. Two of the MCTs present in the coconut oil are lauric acid and caprylic acid‚ which are quickly converted to energy by the body.
These MCTs are rich in nutrients and could improve and support cognitive functioning and related aspects like memory and concentration. When compared to LCTs‚ medium-chained-fatty acids are healthier and may not get stored as fat. The lauric acid and caprylic acid present in the supplement may also support a healthy immune response.
MCT Coconut Swirl from Barlean's Organic Oils is a delicious smoothie-like product that provides 5‚400 mgs of MCTs per serving.
