MCT Powder

MCT Powder NZ Overview.

Medium Chain Triglycerides or MCTs are a highly beneficial form of dietary fat. MCTs are considered a healthy good fat and are produced from coconut oil and palm kernels. MCTs supply energy in a form which the body's energy systems find very easy to use for making them ideal for cardio and weight training.

Coconut oil and their products have gained popularity with athletes, healthy eaters, Keto and Paleo dieters. But if you want to get right to the heart of coconut oil's premium health benefits, try supplementing with MCT Powder itself.

MCT powder is a cost-effective way to harness all the concentrated endurance, health, nutrition and diet benefits of medium-chain triglyceride fats found within coconut oil.

Medium Chain Triglycerides have many benefits to any active individual, from bodybuilders to endurance athletes. MCTs can help prevent muscle breakdown, helping maintain lean muscle and improve recovery times even when dieting or watching calorie or carbohydrate intake.

Medium Chain Triglycerides minimise muscle breakdown, damage and loss by encouraging the body's production of ketones, used by the muscles as a preferred energy source, and by acting as amino acid carriers, helping to deliver proteins to muscle tissue where they can be absurd.

The body uses medium chain triglycerides as a favoured fuel source, which helps preserve muscle glycogen, offsetting glycogen depletion during intense training.

Most dietary fats are made up of long chain triglycerides (12-18 carbon atoms per chain) but MCTs consist of 6-10 carbon atoms per chain. This means they are absorbed more rapidly than LCTs and metabolised in a totally different way by the body, making them a much more useful type of dietary fat, particularly for bodybuilders and anyone eating to achieve better body composition. MCTs are converted into fuel for energy (even faster than glucose is) rather than being stored like LCTs tend to be. 

For those with weight loss goals, MCT powder is particularly useful in the morning before fasted cardio, combined with an espresso shot, L-Carnitine and guarana powder.

Our MCT Power is a superior pharmaceutical grade powder, produced in the Netherlands, the unique production process encapsulates the oil within the hosting powder to enable a user friendly, easy mixing, great tasting and very high 70% MCT oil-based powder.
