What Are Triglycerides?

  • Triglycerides refer to the number of carbon atoms that are found in fatty acids.
  • There are different types of fatty acids with Long-Chain Fatty Acids containing 13–21 carbons, Medium-Chain Fatty (MCT) Acids have 6-12 carbon atoms, and Short-Chain Fatty Acids have fewer than 6 carbon atoms.
  • The benefit of the shorter chain length in MCT is that the fatty acids are more rapidly broken down and absorbed into the body.
  • The predominant fatty acids featured in our MCT Oil 60/40 are Caprylic Acid (C8), and Capric Acid (C10) fatty acids.
