MCT Oil — 100% Pure — 32 fl oz — 14 g per serving (C8/C10) — Supports Weight Management, Energy & Satiety*
LifeSource Vitamins MCT Oil delivers 14 g of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) per serving, featuring approximately 50% caprylic acid (C8) and 30% capric acid (C10), derived from sustainably sourced coconut/palm kernel oil. This pure, hexane-free oil supports weight management, steady energy, and satiety by promoting ketone production and fat oxidation. Produced in GMP-certified facilities and free of common allergens as verified by the label.*
Research Promise:At LifeSource Vitamins, our commitment is rooted in research and results. Every benefit below is supported by human clinical studies indexed in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) via PubMed, with full texts available in the National Library of Medicine (NLM) PubMed Central (PMC) when available. We also reference reviews from 39 leading health organizations and insights from 20 top global universities to keep guidance aligned with credible science.*
Clinically Studied Benefits (Human Evidence)
-
Supports healthy weight management — Replacing dietary fat with MCTs led to modest fat loss in a 16-week RCT. (NIH/PubMed — St-Onge, 2008)
-
Increases energy expenditure — Controlled trials showed higher thermogenesis with MCTs vs. long-chain fats. (NIH/PubMed — St-Onge, 2003)
-
Promotes fat oxidation — MCTs enhance fat oxidation rates in human feeding studies. (NIH/PubMed — St-Onge, 2003)
-
Raises circulating ketones — Acute MCT ingestion increases plasma ketones for energy. (NIH/PubMed — Vandenberghe, 2020)
-
Enhances satiety — Trials show increased satiety and reduced energy intake with MCTs. (NIH/PubMed — Maher, 2019)
-
Improves metabolic balance — MCTs enhance postprandial lipid metabolism. (NIH/PubMed — Poppitt, 2010)
-
Supports insulin sensitivity — RCT showed improved insulin response with MCTs in overweight adults. (NIH/PubMed — St-Onge, 2018)
-
Reduces inflammation — Meta-analysis linked MCTs to lower CRP levels. (NIH/PubMed — Mazidi, 2018)
-
Enhances gut health — Small RCT suggested MCTs improve gut microbiota diversity. (NIH/PubMed — Zhang, 2021)
-
Supports cognitive function — Trial showed MCTs improve memory in older adults with mild impairment. (NIH/PubMed — Reger, 2013)
-
Improves lipid profile — RCT demonstrated reduced triglycerides with MCT use. (NIH/PubMed — St-Onge, 2015)
-
Boosts exercise recovery — Small trial indicated reduced muscle soreness with MCT supplementation. (NIH/PubMed — Smith, 2021)
