MCT (Medium-Chain Triglycerides) oil is not the same as coconut oil, although coconut oil does contain MCTs. MCT oil is a highly concentrated oil consisting of medium-chain fatty acids derived from sources such as coconut or palm kernel oil. It is a processed form of coconut oil that usually contains only MCTs, specifically caprylic acid (C8) and capric acid (C10). These medium-chain fatty acids are metabolized differently by the body compared to long-chain fatty acids found in most other dietary fats.

On the other hand, coconut oil is a natural oil derived from the meat of coconuts. It contains a mixture of fatty acids, including MCTs. However, coconut oil contains a variety of fatty acids, including lauric acid (C12), which is considered a long-chain fatty acid.

While both MCT oil and coconut oil offer health benefits, MCT oil is often preferred for certain purposes due to its higher concentration of MCTs. MCT oil is frequently used in ketogenic diets, sports nutrition, and as a source of quick energy. However, coconut oil is more commonly used in cooking, baking, and skincare due to its pleasant flavor and versatility.
