MCT molecules are smaller than most other dietary fats, which makes them easier for the body to absorb and use for energy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRather than going through the usual digestive process, MCTs are absorbed into the bloodstream and travel to the liver, where they're converted into ketones. These ketones act as a sustainable fuel for the body and brain, which is why MCT oil is so popular with people following a keto or low-carb diet.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eC8 vs C10: What's the Difference?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eCaprylic acid (C8) is considered the most ketogenic MCT and is processed quickly for fast energy. Capric acid (C10) has a slightly longer chain, so the body takes a little longer to process it as fuel. Melrose combines both in a 60\/40 split, giving you a blend of rapid and steadier energy in every serve.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eHow To Use\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eStart with 1 teaspoon (5mL) per day. After one week, slowly increase to 1–2 teaspoons daily, up to a maximum of 2 tablespoons (30mL). For best results, take as part of a low-carbohydrate diet. MCT oil has a light, neutral taste, so it can be added to coffee, protein shakes, smoothies and salad dressings, or taken straight off the spoon.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServings:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250mL – approx. 16 | 500mL – approx. 33 (based on a 15mL serve)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAlways read the label and use only as directed. Reduce serve size or discontinue use if you experience nausea, diarrhoea, abdominal cramps or other gastrointestinal discomfort. Consult a healthcare professional before use if you have diabetes, cirrhosis, acidosis or liver problems. Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place. If symptoms persist, see your healthcare professional.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Melrose","offers":[{"title":"500ml","offer_id":38190368456883,"sku":"MR-OO5","price":32.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250ml","offer_id":38190368358579,"sku":"MR-OO2","price":21.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0537\/0291\/8323\/files\/Melrose_MCT-KS_500ml_Front.webp?v=1793669332","url":"https:\/\/asnonline.co.nz\/products\/melrose-mct-oil-kick-start","provider":"ASN Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
