MCT Oil Powder - Coconut Oil Derived
MCT oil powder is a medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil derived from natural sources such as coconut oil.
MCT oil has been used for centuries in traditional Asian diets, particularly in Southeast Asia, where it is still used for its culinary qualities.
In the 1950s, researchers began identifying and isolating the MCTs in these oils, producing a concentrated MCT oil.
In the early 2000s, MCT oil powder became more popular.
This powder form is created by combining MCT oil with other ingredients, such as acacia or tapioca starch, which help to create a smooth, easy-to-use product.
Today, MCT oil powder is a popular food to support overall nourishment.
Suggested Use: To enhance coffee or smoothies, mix 1 - 2 tablespoons (7g - 14g) of MCT Oil powder with water. MCT Oil Powder can be mixed with sauces, salad dressings, juices, yogurt, or added to your favorite smoothie.
Mixing suggestions: To increase flavor and nutritional profile combined with our organic banana flakes in a smoothie.
Other Names: MCTs, medium-chain triglycerides.
Ingredients: Medium Chain Triglyceride (Coconut Oil Source), Arabic Gum, <2% Silicon Dioxide.
Origin: Made and processed in China and packaged with care in Florida, USA.
