Coconut 26 MCT – natural fats for your healthy everyday life

What is Coconut 26 MCT?

Coconut 26 MCT is a category within health foods that includes products based on coconut and its derived medium-chain fatty acids, so-called MCT (Medium Chain Triglycerides).

MCT oil can be added to drinks such as coffee, smoothies or shakes, or used as a dietary supplement to complement the diet. It is important to start with small doses and gradually increase to avoid digestive discomfort.

Cold-pressed coconut oil is unrefined and preserves flavour, aroma and certain nutrients better than refined oil. It is suitable for those who want a natural product with a distinct coconut flavour, for example in baking or skin care.
