The MCT powder market is so disappointingly dishonest. Many of the top MCT oil powder providers are misleading their customers by claiming their formula contains “10 grams of MCT” per serving when in reality it only contains six or maybe seven grams—the rest is actually acacia fiber (or some othercarrier).
Is this sneaky labeling trick news to you?
You can catch the dishonest companies by comparing the quantity of MCT oil advertised with the amount of fat actually contained in the product.
If they don’t match up gram-for-gram—which, sadly, is often the case—then you’re being duped!
Keto Ignite C8 MCT provides over 90% caprylic (C8) and capric (C10) acid triglycerides. Emerging science suggests that medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) may benefit the body in numerous ways. MCT may help support cognitive health and certain cognitive processes, and pre-clinical research suggests that MCT may benefit mitochondrial function. MCT supplementation temporarily increases levels of ketones, which may serve as an alternative energy source in the brain and in muscle. Supplementing with MCT at multiple meals during the day may aid reductions in body weight and body fat, especially in those with an increased body-mass index (BMI).†† MCT may also help to temporarily increase satiety and reduce food intake, and may temporarily enhance fat oxidation as compared to common long-chain fats.*
MCT Oil is a flavorless, odorless dietary supplement that can be easily added to food or beverages for convenience.
