If you want a clean, convenient way to add MCTs to your daily routine, these softgels make it simple—no measuring, no mess. NOW Foods MCT Oil Softgels provide medium-chain triglycerides sourced from coconut and palm kernel oil, a type of fat that’s typically digested and used more quickly than many long-chain fats—popular among people following keto/low-carb lifestyles or anyone wanting an easy energy-friendly fat source.
Key Benefits
- Keto-Friendly Fuel: MCTs are commonly used in keto routines as a fast-usable fat source.
- Quick, Clean Energy Support: Often taken before busy days, workouts, or fasting windows (as part of a balanced diet).
- Convenient Softgel Format: Easy to carry, easy to take—no oily taste, no spills.
- Naturally Occurring C8 & C10: Contains caprylic (C8) and capric (C10) fatty acids.
- Allergen-Friendly Manufacturing Standards: Not manufactured with common allergens like gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish, etc.

FAQs
- How is MCT oil different from regular coconut oil? Coconut oil contains MCTs, but it also contains long-chain fats. MCT oil is a purified extract that contains only the fast-burning fats, making it much more potent for energy and ketosis.
- Can I take this if I’m not on a Keto diet? Yes! While it is a staple for Keto, anyone looking for a clean, non-stimulant energy boost can benefit from MCT oil.
- Does MCT oil help with weight loss? MCT oil can support weight loss by increasing the rate of calorie burning and helping you feel full longer, which reduces overall calorie intake.
- Are these softgels better than the liquid oil? The benefits are the same, but softgels are much more convenient for travel, office use, or for people who dislike the taste and texture of liquid oils.
