An incredible source of healthy fats**
There are four different types of MCTs:
- Caproic acid (C6)
- Caprylic acid (C8)
- Capric acid (C10)
- Lauric acid (C12)
All of these healthy fats have their own health-promoting properties, but the most beneficial among them is caprylic acid (C8). Caprylic acid is one of the shortest of all MCTs, so it is easy for the body to break down into fuel. In fact, it only takes three steps to turn caprylic acid into cellular energy. This also means that you’ll experience the positive benefits of this unique fatty acid faster than any other healthy fat. Additionally, caprylic acid is considered the premier and most efficient type of MCT you can add to your diet.
Also known as octanoic acid, caprylic acid can support healthy digestion and help you maintain healthy cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range. Furthermore, regular consumption of caprylic acid can support the healthy functioning of your immune system.
Caprylic acid can be found in many food sources, such as coconut oil, palm fruit oil, peanut butter, raw cow’s milk and even human breast milk. However, the richest and most efficient source of caprylic acid is MCT oil. A single tablespoon of Groovy Bee® 100% MCT Oil (95% C8 MCT Oil) delivers 14 grams of pure caprylic acid (C8), as well as trace amounts of caproic acid (C6) and capric acid (C10).
