Olimp MCT Oil is a top-quality preparation containing medium-chain fatty acids in an easy-to-drink liquid form. The supplement is odorless and tasteless, thanks to which it will please the tastes of people with delicate taste buds.

Medium-chain fatty acids are compounds that are used in the body in energy processes. Due to their chemical structure, they do not accumulate in the form of the excess fat. Due to their easy metabolic availability, they can be a wonderful addition to diets for athletes and people using a ketogenic diet.

Source of quickly absorbable energy
It is often said that fats, due to their chemical properties, delay emptying the stomach and prolong the absorption time of other nutrients in the gastrointestinal tract. However, this is not true for the whole group of these compounds, as there are exceptions.

In contrary to MCT oil, standard fatty foods are a source of long-chain fatty acids, whose digestive process is much more complicated and requires the involvement of more digestive enzymes. Medium-chain fatty acids skip this stage, directly targeting the portal vein and liver. From there they are directed to different parts of the body - including intensely working muscles. Considering this fact, it is a good idea to consume them at the peri-training time, because they are a great source of energy needed to work myocytes.

It is worth mentioning that medium-chain fatty acids are intracellularly transported inside the mitochondria without the participation of carnitine. This makes it much easier to get ketones from them, which are a much better source of energy than glucose.

In summary, Olimp MCT Oil is a great addition to the ketogenic diet or supplement intended for athletes, which thanks to its properties can provide an excellent source of energy.
