MCT Oil: What Happens Inside Your Body When You Consume MCT’s
What are MCT’s
Long Chain Fatty acids (LCTs) ranging from 12 to 18 carbons long are the predominant form of fat in the American diet - MCTs, however, are composed of only 6 to 10 carbon links
Triglycerides are named after their chemical structure, more specifically the length of their fatty acid chains - all triglycerides are made up of a glycerol molecule and 3 fatty acids
Because of their shorter chain length, MCTs have a number of unique properties which give them advantages over the more common LCTs
MCTs provide about 10% fewer calories than LCTs - 8.3 calories per gram for MCTs versus 9 calories per gram for LCTs
Reduced chain length also means that MCTs are more rapidly absorbed by the body and more quickly metabolized and as fuel
The result of this accelerated metabolic conversion is that instead of being stored as fat, the calories contained in MCTs are very efficiently converted into fuel for immediate use by organs and muscles
MCTs cross the double mitochondrial membrane quickly and do not require the presence of carnitine, unlike LCTs
The result is an excess of acetyl-coA, which then follows various metabolic pathways, both in the mitochondria (Krebs Cycle) and in the cytosol, resulting in the production of ketones
These are the main medium-chain fatty acids:
C6: Caproic acid or hexanoic acid.
C8: Caprylic acid or octanoic acid.
C10: Capric acid or decanoic acid.
C12: Lauric acid or dodecanoic acid
Benefits
Digestion and Energy
MCTs are easily digested and do not require the production and utilization of bile
Results in the production of excess acetyl-coA which breaks down into ketones - rapid formation of ketone bodies gives immediate energy to the brain and body
MCTs act similar to carbs in that they provide an immediate energy source - however, MCTs don’t raise blood sugar or increase insulin levels as carbs do
Weight Loss
Compared to other types of oils and fats, MCTs seem to have positive effects on fat burning and weight reduction as it helps increase satiety and even raise the metabolic rate at which the body functions
MCTs suppress fat deposition through enhanced thermogenesis and fat oxidation, helping the body produce ketones
Antibacterial
MCTs are powerful, natural antibiotics that help balance bacteria in the gut
MCT’s are known to kill: Streptococcus (which causes strep throat, pneumonia and sinus infections), straphylococcus (which causes food poisoning and urinary tract infections), neisseria (which causes meningitis, gonorrhea and pelvic inflammatory diseases)

Anything besides mct oil? I have immune reaction to mct oil or more specific to coconuts.
As most people know, most cancer patients die from starvation because they lose their ability to swallow and their digestive system begins to shut down. My late 1st wife died from female cancer in 2009. She was in hospice where they are loath to use feeding tubes. I was with her almost 24/7. When she lost her ability to swallow I would give her water in tiny amounts with an eyedropper or with small chips of ice. I mixed MCT oil with CoQ10 and when the staff was out of the room I would feed her with the MCT oil/CoQ10 mixture with an eyedropper. The amounts had to be very small or she would choke. This gave her a big boost in energy and she craved these feedings. The hospice staff (especially the doctors) became impatient with her prolonged life. She lingered for many weeks past her normal expected death. You may say that I was just prolonging her agony. Not so, she appreciated her extra weeks of life.
I’m sure that meant a lot to her and she loved everyday beside you regardless how she felt. I know if my husband did this I would be so appreciative to have more time with him and knowing he truly loved me and never left my side. I think it was a very loving thing to do for your wife.
God Bless you,sir and I'm very sorry for your loss.
I pray that in my last days, if I should go before my husband, that he is this loving and brave.
God Bless you Sir. You and your family are in my prayers.❤
Wow. This is mind blowing. I’m so sorry about your loss... I hate that they were impatient.. but I also love that you both hacked life together somewhat mischievously - as lovers do. Hope you’re well these days ❤️❤️❤️
As an advanced biology teacher who has an undergraduate and Masters degree in molecular biology I want to say bravo. You did a great job explaining medium chain triglycerides keep up the great work
On a sidenote I also happen to be in ketosis and consume 2 to 3 tablespoons of MCT oil a day especially before the gym
Danielle Jensen does mct oil break a fast?
Danielle Jensen Can we consume mct oil if we have slightly high triglyceride.(2.8)
I agree with Ms. Jensen. Thanks for doing and posting.
Danielle Jensen bravo italian word
Felt like I just graduated with my MCT Bachelor Degree! Bravo! Very informative!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I like the whiteboard . A cheat sheet for my MCT degree
🤣🤣🤣
imi mei meeee to! 👩🏽🎓

Mitochondria is the Powerhouse of the cell.

PEMDAS is the worst thing to teach kids because they incorrectly do them in order (multiply, then divide, then add, then subtract).
It should be PE(MD)(AS). You do multiply and divide together left to right, then add and subtract together left to right.
Every social media math problem uses this teaching failure to stump all the poorly educated folks who had public American education.
Steven Kyle 😂
I love how he says ' here's where it gets interesting' after he's already said about 10 interesting things
Fitness is definitely your purpose! You're brilliant when it comes to explaining science in a way people can understand why.
Just wanted to give you heartfelt thanks for this. I started Keto a month ago not so much for weight loss but for general health and well-being. I was skeptical at first about adding MCT oil to my butter coffee, but I couldn’t figure out WHY I felt more energized and focused after only ONE cup of coffee (used to drink 4). Please keep putting out science-based vids explaining the benefits (and potential detriments) of Keto diet attributes. Thanks again.
I think your explanations are the best on YT. They are always thorough and clear no matter how you choose to illustrate. Also the editing in many of your videos is really creative. Thank you
The scientific specificity only builds validity to your points. Keep up the great work.
I love these videos where Thomas goes into more of the technical aspect and science of the digestion and absorption process. Thank you for being the top channel for this type of info!
I appreciate all you do Thomas! Please, never stop educating all of us! 😁 May you and Mrs.D continued to be blessed!👍🏽❤️
Thanks for the explanation Thomas. Greatly appreciated, my daughter was diagnosed with VLCADD at birth, she has been exclusive to no other oil but MCT since birth. I’m always looking for good information to educate myself and eventually pass it on to my daughter. Looking forward to the next video!
Fantastic breakdown. Simple as it can be said. Straight forward and informative. More of these imo. Well done.
Swiss Admiral glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!!
As someone in the field, teaching and training. THANK YOU! I don't claim to know everything, but really amazed how little very intelligent people know on this stuff. It makes perfect sense to me, but oftentimes myself losing my clients by going too in depth. LOVE this simple, educational, factual informational video! Glad I came across this, just subscribed!
Thomas how are you so knowledgeable? You articulate yourself like a tenured professor and explain it so laymen like myself can understand. Bravo!
Oh my gosh, where were you in my chemistry and AP biology classes, that was simply an amazing explanation, great job!
almost at my ideal weight again and you've been part of that change. thank you for your videos. very informative and always well researched.
You are spot on, thanks for sharing your knowledge. You are literally saving lives. You break it down for the layperson so well. Glad to support your products as you share so freely!
Tom, I really enjoy how you explain the science behind stuff like this and I share your videos often. Thank you!
Best nutritional channel on youtube! So many precious information and advice!
Fantastic explanation! I love that you explained it in (semi) scientific terms so we can understand the process. Definitely do more of these.
Thanks Thomas! Few people would have explained MCTs in this manner. Your presentation and dialogue are highly valuable information for those of us interested in going deep into the subject.
As a nurse on keto off and on for the past 3 years, I love this.
I have lost 10 pounds following your Keto advice and watching your videos! Thank you for the education🙏🏾❤️
In how long? Cause I lost 15 pounds in a week.
@@sageninja7260geez are you eating in a crazy deficit?
Love the way you can translate science and communicate it easily! Keep making videos like this, super helpful 😊
This was a fantastic explanation of MCT. The speed in which you speak during the presentation is perfect. Thank you very much!
Just started keto a couple weeks ago and you are for sure now my keto Guru! Love your science and simple explanations. I’m going to go get some MCT oil today!
Thomas, I'm fairly new to following you, but I am really enjoying your videos. Your style is thoughtful and pleasant and the presentation is meaningful and helpful. You are talking about complex stuff, and I haven't seen a video from you yet where it's been at all confusing. Great job my dude. Super helpful.
Love these videos bro! My wife and I are 31 and are learning so much about our bodies and how to live a healthy ketogenic lifestyle from you and yours! :)
When you explain this subject scientifically and INDEPTH,it becomes more convincing.
I look forward to such great explanatory videos.
🙏🙏🙏
Geezeeeeeeeeeeee this went wayyyyyyyyyyyy overrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr my headdddddddddddd, I'LL JUST TAKE THE STUFF......
He says it contains heroin
If Thomas DeLauer was a teacher or professor the class would be very interesting, amazing video by Thomas
I also love the whiteboard talks - they are a great way to review things I learned in biology and chemistry classes in college. I was like, "Glycerol molecules, micelles, lipase....oh yeah, I remember now".
I love when you nerd out, I have a bio degree so this makes sense to me. I will start incoperating MCTs into my new keto diet. Great graphics by the way.
Wow what a great teacher you are. I'm sure your multitasker with many talents. Thank you Thomas. Praying for you and your beautiful family and furries too.
Thanks for breaking down that complex information in a absolutely clarified way!
tonidebcn71 thanks for watching!
You are an excellent teacher, Thomas! Thanks for all you share!
Great explanation. It is complex but the was you describe the process in a quick efficient manner is great. I get lost sometimes when I listen to videos like these but you are great!! Thank you for sharing all if your knowledge!!
Very well educated, very well spoken, and very well informed. If only my biology teachers were as through as you, I would have enjoyed the class more. You would make an outstanding professor at any university.
We need more professors like you in our education system.
If our teachers and profs made as much money as Thomas, I'm absolutely certain they would care and be more invested. RUclips is a beautiful thing.
Wow!!!! Very informative!!! This was very helpful to finally understand. Thank you!!
This is why i trust on thomas's information he always provides explanation about how it happens and why it happens. Keep making videos like these. Have a good day.
Mr Meanit thank you for watching! Have a great day!
I thoroughly enjoy and appreciate your scientific breakdowns. Keep keeping us informed, brother.
Loved the video (& Oh so many others!)! Not only do I not mind you going a little in depth with the science behind it all... but I deeply appreciate it as well. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing Tom, your knowledge is appreciated and will help so many people
Dirty G thank you for watching!!
Excellent presentation if complicated subject. I learned a lot.
Alan Heath glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!!
I love this video. It was technical but fully understandable. I also learned a lot. Keep them coming. Thank you
I loved this clear and thorough explanation of what MCT oils do in your body. Thank you.
I like the boards as I find it a good way to understand what you are saying scientifically with diagrams etc. Amanda
I love how I just saw this video after I failed to find coconut oil to break my fast. Haven't even watched it yet but I know I'm in trouble
Thanks for the break down. I have a much better understanding. Been on Keto and I.F. for a few months now and my both has adjusted very well and with great results. Thanks for the education on all of your videos. I’ve been successful with weight loss and without feeling bad (Keto flu) b/c of your educational videos. Thanks!!!
I just had the aha!!!!! moment with your amazing explanation of MCT and it's benefits. You my friend are a true teacher. Thank you. I'm just starting out on my keto lifestyle and I believe it's not about fast weightloss but about the Education that is going to help me succeed 🤙🏽💞
Thanks for the lesson. I have been using MCT oil for over 4 months now I just added it to my normal grocery bill. I have Hypothyroidism, Obesity, Pre-Diabetes and the oil helps with brain fog, satiety , weight loss and help reshape my body. About few months ago, I gave up starches and sugar and I used to have bad cravings but soon as I begun taking 2Tbs of MCT oil everyday in my ACV or green tea all symptoms disappear. My HgbA1c and glucose reading improve to the point that my Endocrinologist and Family doctor asked me what I was doing. I did not tell them because I have realized conventional doctors are not giving me what I need to fix my myriad of health issues.
I have forgotten to also mention because of giving up starches, sugar and taking MCT Oil I don’t have to take the medication Lyrica ( 4 tabs a day) anymore for Nerve pain in hands and feet.
Keep up the good work you and others in providing comprehensive information for us to have choices to try diverse alternatives.
.
Is it the mct or is it the exclusion of carbs ?
wow impressive
Mwadi ya Kin-Malebo , so what is your HbA1c? Are you still need to use medication?
What MCT oil are you using if you don't mind me asking.
What brand of my oil do u get at grocery store?
I watch a lot of your videos and you are very talented at teaching and getting the knowledge you have across efficiently and you make your videos very understandable even when a process is complex. Thank you
Thomas you’re the only guy i trust about health and nutrition on line.
I’ve seen your heavy days and when I listen you amaze me w your knowledge.
I love all this stuff, wish I could work w u somehow.
I’ve been studying all this stuff on my own for over 30 years.
Stay true to your audience and keep up this incredible information.
Peter Maggio
One of your best videos. The whiteboard is so helpful!
Excellent, this is maybe the best consolidation of the information dealing with fat and MCT as it relates to the body. Thank you sir! The whiteboard also makes it easier to absorb the information because I can review the data as you teach it.
danjlanier thank you for watching!
You're a wonderful teacher - thank you for breaking it down as simplistic as a complex subject could be. Thanks for all the knowledge you share!🙌🏻
This is the only video people need to watch to understand MCT's. Appreciated this so much! BTW I love science so this was right up my alley!
I loved this! Just bought my first MCT powder. Adding it to my coffee along with some ghee. Thank you
I really learned a lot this one. Great for when I explain why I'm having MCT and try to explain why I'm not storing it as fat. Other than "MCT oil can't be stored as fat."
This guy hasn’t missed an arm day his whole life.
Lol you can tell you never seen arm lol
Yes, roids are great.
we love to see it
Hasn't skipped a cycle yet either wink wink
Lol
New to this channel and I love how you explain everything. Very good job. You seem to answer my questions like you can read my mind!😄
Your so knowledgeable and I always appreciate it when you don’t getTOO technical for us civilians.
Love the whiteboard talks and all the knowledge you continuously drop! Down 25 lbs since November 1 and I can even see the six pack under the ever-dwindling coat of chips and ice cream that I'm shedding. Thanks and keep it up!
Jon Lundy keep it up!
Jon Lundy I have been trying this woe since July. Not much weight loss but I'm down inches and clothes feel a lot better. I also am beginning to see the hint of a six pack which I haven't seen since high school
I like the whiteboard with all the notes. It helps me remember and grasp concepts more easily. I would prefer it if you looked into the camera.
As someone who completed pre-med this is very interesting. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed organic chemistry and biochem. Thanks for the explanations.
Your information, description and delivery is great!!
Thx.
The white bored is fantastic, keep using it please. Also, Thanks for all the great content u put out.
Daniel Bornstein Good call Daniel.
The best Mct oil is the bulletproof brand brain octane oil. I tried a few different varieties of mct and I could definitely tell the difference. When you take the brain octane oil I am sure I can instantaneously feel the MCTs taking effect and I have the most amazing clarity of thought and stamina for the rest of the day.
I'm a huge fan of the whiteboard. Thanks Thomas, you're a great teacher.
WOW!!! You really help me to understand this subject of MCT oils and how they work for me! Love it!!! Please keep the info coming..a big THANK YOU..💐
This really helped me in my decision on what to use when creating highly concentrated THC/CBD vape juice
Love the details, how you break it all down, then pull it all together with a “So, what that means is...” thanks for the information!! Would love videos on eating to build muscle while in ketosis
Sending you guys some 🇨🇦❤️
Brother, thank you for taking the time out of your day to break down and explain MCT
I have watched a lot of videos on Keto and I learn more from this guy than all the others, love the whiteboard
The white board REALLY helps! love it! keep it!
James Hayward I'm glad it has helped!! Thanks for tuning in!
W/o whiteboard I’d have turned it off. Thanks for the visual.
Thanks Thomas! Great explanation of this process!
phillip stegner thanks for watching!!
Thomas as always a very thorough presentation answering questions concisely.
That's why I subscribed to the channel because of how you break things down scientifically get down with the get down
Thank you for this awesome video!! Your explanation was very easy to understand and you are very knowledgeable 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Vanessa Alves thank you for watching!!
Love this videos. I'm a visual learner! Great teacher u are 😊
Esther Jimenez thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!
Love your videos!! Thanks for breaking things down and putting them up for a visual, even easier to understand!!
Good stuff Thomas! I really enjoy and appreciate how you break down the science.
Awesome video, super informative. You should do a Keto whiteboard video on the mechanism of ketosis.
Teach Teach Teach!!!!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽💯💯💯 Man that makes such a difference to know that is what’s taking place versus taking MCT’s in and not knowing. Always on Point!!!
Wow. probably the best explanation of MCT and LCT i've seen online.
I love the science whiteboard talks. The more scientific understanding, the more useful and valid it all becomes. Good stuff! Thank you.
If I’d have had You for my chemistry teacher...I’d still be confused! 😂. J/k you’re a great chemistry teacher!
Thomas, you're awesome! Incredible breakdown of the acids. Will save us pain later. Happy Holidays, brother!🎄😀🙌👍💪
Maurice Cooper loved the video. Give us more whiteboard videos Thomas!

Thanks for all the information, I have been truly enjoying your videos. I am new to Keto and been learning not just a new eating regimen but a knowledgeable decision making towards my health.
Thanks Thomas for sharing your knowledge and research! Blessing to you and your wife
Ok to bypass all the science lesson just FF to 7:15 to the end . And you’ll get the reason how it works 😉
😂😂😂
Thank you!
Thank you.
Bless you!
BENITO MALDONADO thanks
I love the whiteboard talks! I like seeing and hearing the breakdown.
Thank you for the great information and motivation!
This was great! Thank you for the breakdown and I enjoyed the white board demonstration. You are a great resource for all my physiological questions!!
I love how you explain things and how they work. Yes the whiteboard is great!
Got to get me some of that MCT oil an maybe I can lose some fat, ahhh thank for your great information 👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️
Please- I Love the videos as always. But I cannot see the notes on the board! I’m blind and my device screen is small ! Don’t hate. Keep killing it🤙🏽
I definitely appreciate the scientific information. Please do more of this
Always love your videos Thomas
Thanks for ALL your knowledge and sharing
Blessings to your precious family 🌺💜
