NOW Foods MCT Oil 1000 mg Softgels
Description
NOW MCT Oil 1000 mg Softgels deliver medium-chain triglycerides in an easy softgel form, for adults who want the metabolic benefits of MCTs without measuring liquid oil.
MCTs occur naturally in coconut and palm kernel oils and are digested and metabolized by the liver more quickly than other dietary fats, which is why they are popular with people following low-carb or ketogenic routines.
Each 3 softgel serving supplies 25 calories, 3 g of total fat (4% Daily Value), 3 g of saturated fat (15% Daily Value), and 3 g (3,000 mg) of MCT oil containing caprylic acid (C8:0) and capric acid (C10:0). The 150 count bottle provides 50 servings.
Take 3 softgels up to 5 times daily with food. NOW manufactures this product in an Intertek GMP certified facility and it carries Non-GMO, Halal, Kosher, and Keto-Friendly certifications, and is corn free, dairy free, egg free, soy free, and made without gluten.
