Olimp MCT Oil Product Details:OLIMP
MCT is a complex of medium-chain triglycerides of plant origin. They
are found in a natural form in a very limited amount, and in food their
main source is cocoa oil. MCT fats are wholly metabolised by the liver
with energy release, without a tendency to their accumulation in the
body in the form of adipose tissue. The dietary properties of MCT fatty
acids arise from the fact that they are absorbed from the
gastrointestinal tract directly into the portal vein, and in contrast to
other fatty acids lipase or bile is not necessary for their digestion.
Therefore,
MCT oil is often used in diseases associated with fat
absorption impairment. MCT fatty acids are absorbed into the general
blood circulation very rapidly (similarly as glucose), and for their
burning two times less oxygen is needed than in the case of the
remaining fatty acids. They are characterised by twice higher burning
energy (8.3 kcal/g) than carbohydrates or proteins (4 kcal/g), which
results in increased thermogenesis (temperature increase) of the body.
Very rapid absorption and transformation of
MCT oil allow saving muscle
glycogen stores during sports training. Furthermore, MCT acids slow down
the migrating motor complex of the body, which prolongs the time of
mucosal contact of food, and thus improves food absorption. Moreover, a
favourable influence of MCT oil on absorption of vitamin E, calcium, and
magnesium was found. MCT oil does not raise the total cholesterol level
in blood, but regulates the quantitative shares of its fractions,
elevating the content of HDL-cholesterol (beneficial) while lowering at
the same time the share of "bad" fractions (LDL-cholesterol).
OLIMP MCT
is recommended as: - a source of rapid energy indispensable during a
workout and for physically active persons, - a factor supporting
anabolic transformations and limiting catabolic processes of muscle
mass, - a factor contributing to adipose tissue reduction, - a factor
regulating the share of individual cholesterol fractions in blood (HDL,
LDL).
