Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are saturated fatty acids with an average length of carbon chains. Unlike longer fatty acids, MCT oils are water-soluble.
Caprylic acid (C8) and capric acid (C10):
The individual MCTs are often referred to as C6 to C12 according to the length of their carbon chains. The two most biologically effective MCTs are caprylic acid (C8) and capric acid (C10). Our organic MCT oil consists of 60% caprylic acid (C8) and 40% capric acid (C10) and is therefore a particularly effective mixture of the two most important MCT fatty acids.
