MCT Oil is an easily absorbed fat for patients who are unable to digest, absorb or utilize conventional fats. Each tablespoon (15 mL) contains 115 calories and 14 Grams fat. MCT Oil provides nutritional support for individuals with decreased pancreatic lipase, decreased bile salts, defective mucosal fat absorption (decreased mucosal permeability, decreased absorptive surface), defective lymphatic transport of fat (i.e., intestinal lymphatic obstruction), or severe malabsorption.
- Medium chain triglycerides are more readily hydrolyzed and absorbed than long chain fats
- MCTs are absorbed directly into the portal circulation and do not require bile salts for emulsification
- Suitable for these diets: lactose-free, gluten-free, kosher
- Note: See individual product labels for ingredients, allergen statements, and indications for use
