A gentle physical fractionation process is used, completely without chemical additives. This extracts the high-quality caprylic acid (C8) as a pure, medium-chain fatty acid of the highest organic quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFatty acids are essential building blocks of our body and fulfill numerous important functions. They are an essential component of cell membranes, provide energy, and play a role in various metabolic processes. A distinction is made between saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Caprylic acid (C8) is a medium-chain saturated fatty acid and differs from other MCTs such as capric acid (C10) or lauric acid (C12) due to its shorter chain length. Unlike long-chain fatty acids, which are transported via the lymphatic system, medium-chain fatty acids enter the bloodstream directly and are then processed in the liver, where they are converted into energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to its neutral taste and odor, our organic MCT C8 oil mixes perfectly with coffee or water and is ideal for smoothies, juices, shakes, or salad dressings. However, when heated, MCT oil can develop a sharp or bitter taste, which is why it should not be used for frying, deep-frying, or heating.\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MITOcare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55997234184457,"sku":"1001079","price":19.85,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/1810\/9373\/files\/Bio_MCT_C8_Oel_Produktcover.png?v=1766049906","url":"https:\/\/matocare.com\/en\/products\/mct-oel","provider":"MITOcare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
