What's the difference between MCT oil and MCT powder?Updated 22 days ago

In our view, MCT oil is the purest source of medium-chain fats. Our MCT oil is double distilled for purity and 100% from coconuts, with no palm oil or rapeseed oil used in the process, and no bulkers, fillers or flow agents. Liquid MCT oil has an oily texture and can be poured into coffee, smoothies, salads or shakes. Take a look at some recipe ideas here. To create a powdered form of MCT oil, the oil is spray-dried onto a carrier, such as maltodextrin, tapioca flour, corn or soy lecithin. It's worth understanding which carrier is used, as this can affect the carbohydrate levels and purity of the product. These carriers are rarely disclosed on the ingredients list, so ask if you're unsure.
