MCTs Are Everywhere, And We’re Sure You Want to Know What They Can Do for You.
Let’s Start with the basics. MCT stands for Medium-Chain Triglyceride, but what are MCT’s and how can you utilize their unique properties in your formulas?
MCTs deliver easier and faster ingestion, absorption and degradation in the body, compared to long-chain oils and without the access fat being deposited. An energy carrier that acts as fast as glucose, with wider applicability, uses include:
- solubilizer or carrier for APIs
- in dietary supplements
- for preparations of oily tinctures, droplets, capsules, ovules and suppositories
- penetration enhancer for topical or pour-over formulas
- solvent for oral and dermal formulations
MIGLYOL® 812 N (Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride)
The high purity & high-quality lipid with a neutral odor and taste, stability to oxidation, and absence of allergens. MIGLYOL® 812 N has unique properties of significant metabolism acceleration due to the direct diffusion of MCT oils into the blood cells and bypassing liver metabolism.
- No risk of arteriosclerosis
- No negative impact on LDL
- Enhanced drug uptake
- Improved bioavailability
For topicals, MIGLYOL® 812 N is ideal as it falls within medium spreading on the sensorial curve and penetrates the upper skin layers easily due to it’s similarity to skin lipids.
