On Using MCT Oil

: Episode 647 - Andy ask Vinnie about why (and when) he uses MCT oil instead of butter... PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club More vitamins than ever have been selling! Amazon has a very specific way they like to do things They need specific quantities, methods of shipment, container requirements, etc. At purevitaminclub.com, we try not to waste anything Usually, Vinnie and Andy pack the vitamins for Amazon by hand They may have to start looking at a warehouse because the vitamins are taking off! MCT OIL Andy was used to cooking with only butter and olive oil Vinnie, however, often uses coconut oil from Trader Joes Coconut Oil = MCT Oil Vinnie cooks with this 70% of the time Medium chain triglycerides It is energy currency more than just another sat fat (although MCT is a sat fat but has those medium chain triglycerides) Great for fat-adapted folks Butter is also good and will give you energy if you're fat-adapted But, butter hardly has any Medium chain triglycerides in it More long chain in general Your body would prefer to use MCT oil as energy as opposed to longer chain triglycerides MCT is essentially a "cleaner burning fuel" than butter
