Amanprana MCT Duo-Power C8 and C10 strengthen each other and you, just like Yin and Yang!

MCT duo-power, with a content of 53% C8 and 45% C10 MCT oils, is at its best. MCTs from Amanprana are the medium fatty acid chains found in organic extra virgin coconut oil. To be more precise: C8 (caprylic acid) and C10 (capric acid), each with their own specific properties. In MCT oil, C8 and C10 are like Yin and Yang, which both complement and strengthen each other.

MCT oil derived from coconut oil is very suitable for keto and paleo diets

MCT oil is the part of coconut oil that remains fluid at room temperature, which makes it is easy to use. In addition, the oil quickly provides energy and is not stored as fat, which is why it is often used by athletes as a supplement. The oil has a neutral taste and can be used both cold and hot as a replacement for other oils and fats (max. 160 degrees, therefore not suitable for deep-frying). What's more, it is also well known due to the ketogenic diet. This diet involves eating a lot of proteins and fats and very few carbohydrates.

C8 is the finest, purest but also the most scarce form of MCT you can get. Studies show that C8 contains the most ketogenic oil, which means that it bypasses the digestive tract and goes directly to the liver, transforming it directly into ketones, or in other words, energy.

MCTs are ultra-fast energy boosters: ideal for athletes

You can quickly add fats to your diet by using MCT oil. It actually stands for Medium Chain Triglycerides, also known as medium chain fatty acids. Medium chain fatty acids are made up of a maximum of 5 atoms in length and that's how they can quickly deliver energy. A rich source of these fatty acids is coconut oil (including MCT oil).

MCTs derived from organic coconut oil do not store fat

As these are small molecules they can, like glucose, be absorbed into our blood directly from the intestinal wall and from there transported straight to the mitochondria as a direct source of energy. They are therefore easy for our bodies to digest. They are also a clean and fast source of fuel for your mitochondria and that is why they are not stored as fat. MCTs also do not require energy from the liver, bile and pancreas to aid digestion like all other fats do.

MCT oil is beneficial for healthy intestinal flora.

Health starts in your intestines. The healthier the bacteria in your intestines, the stronger your immune system and the more energetic you will feel. MCT oil can help stimulate the growth of healthy bacteria and has a positive effect on your intestinal wall.
