Vitakruid MCT Oil C8 100% pure & sustainable coconut oil

Vitakruid MCT Oil C8 100% pure & sustainable coconut oil
MCT (Medium Chain Triglycerides) are medium-chain fatty acids. Unlike longer chains, these fatty acids are absorbed at the beginning of the digestive system. This means the liver has to exert minimal effort to convert the fatty acids. Moreover, our body hardly stores MCT as fat.

MCT type C8 is the best form of MCT
There are four types of MCT:
- C6 (capronic acid): fastest absorbed in the body and the rarest form in MCT oil.
- C8 (caprylic acid): most efficient fatty acid after C6.
- C10 (capric acid): slightly slower absorption than C8, but has a similar effect in the body.
- C12 (lauric acid): longer conversion process due to longer fatty acid chain and therefore less suitable.

C8
C8 is seen as the most efficient fatty acid due to, among other things, its length. C10 is absorbed by the body slightly slower compared to C8. Where saturated fatty acids used to have a predominantly negative character, MCT oil falls under the healthy saturated fatty acids.

Extracted from non-GMO and sustainable coconuts
MCT oil from Vitakruid is extracted from non-GMO coconuts and sourced from Southeast Asia and South America. The oil is obtained through cold pressing, so it does not need to be hydrogenated. This is a chemical process that alters the consistency of the fat. Oil or soft fat is hardened in this way. This can lead to the formation of trans fatty acids. MCT oil from Vitakruid is therefore 100% trans fat free!

Additionally, this oil is viewed less critically because the oil undergoes a deodorization process. This makes deodorized oil cheaper because only the very best coconuts are selected for non-deodorized oil. MCT oil from Vitakruid is not deodorized, preserving all its beneficial properties.

Palm oil free
MCT fatty acids are mainly found in coconut oil and palm oil. Although MCTs can be found in both forms, there are differences. Palm oil has been embraced by the food industry as a cheap ingredient for various processed products. You may also find a mixture of these two types of oil in cheaper MCT oils. MCT oil from Vitakruid is based solely on coconut oil.

Sustainable production process Witarix® MCT oil
Sustainability is high on the priority list in product development. MCT oil from Vitakruid is 100% from sustainable coconut oil (Witarix®). The vegan product is, in addition to kosher and Halal certification, Ecocert-approved:
- Environmentally friendly production and processing processes that take human health into account
- Responsible use of natural resources
- Respect for biodiversity
- Recyclable packaging
- Ingredients have a natural origin
- No use of genetic modification

MCT oil safely in glass
The MCT oil is packaged in glass immediately after the first cold pressing, the only packaging material that the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) considers safe. This mainly applies to products (such as oil) that can react to their packaging. Plastic often contains plasticizers such as phthalates that make the plastic soft and flexible. Depending on the type of plastic, certain plasticizers can leak in small amounts.

Less oxidation due to glass
The glass packaging also protects the oil from external influences that cause oxidation. This means that oil is often packaged in a somewhat darker (glass) bottle, so that the oil is exposed to as little light and oxygen as possible.

MCT oil or powder?
MCT is available in oil or powder form. Most studies on the positive effects of MCT oil have been conducted with MCT oil. The most important factor is the quality of the product you choose. Low-quality MCT powders often contain added fillers and therefore have a reduced effect. MCT oil is, compared to MCT powder, the purest.

What can I use MCT Oil for?
You can use MCT oil in various ways. For example, you can add it to a (bulletproof) coffee, smoothie, or mix it into your oatmeal in the morning. Heat MCT oil to a maximum of 175 degrees, so this product is less suitable for frying.
