When it comes to taking CBD, there is no “one size fits all.” In order to feel its alleviating effects, some people may need to take a high serving while others will only require a small amount. What we must keep in mind is it’s not always about how much CBD oil you take, but how much is actually absorbed. This is where MCT oil comes into play.

Not sure how exactly MCT Oil and CBD relate or what it even is? We’re here to explain just how these two oils combined can provide you with the fast-acting relief you’ve been longing for.

What Is MCT Oil?

First and foremost, the difference between CBD & MCT oil begins with their source. As you may already know, CBD (cannabidiol) is extracted from the hemp plant whereas MCT comes primarily from coconut oil.

MCT, which stands for medium-chain triglycerides, are a type of saturated fatty acids that contain 6-10 carbons. MCT oil is made up of one or more MCTs. While the most abundant source of MCT is coconut oil, other oils that contain MCTs include palm, sesame, olive, avocado, and soybean.

What Are the Benefits of MCT Oil?

MCT oil is easily absorbed by the body and linked to several health benefits which include:

  • Energy- MCTs are able to enter cells without being broken down, allowing them to serve as a source of instant energy for your body.

  • Boost Immunity- MCTs antioxidant & antimicrobial properties help to fight off harmful bacteria and viruses.

  • Weight Loss- Since your body can use MCT oil as an instant source of energy, it makes it unnecessary to store fat that leads to weight gain. MCTs can also be converted into ketones, which are produced from the breakdown of fat when carb intake is low. If you’re following a ketogenic diet (low in carbs, high in fat) then MCT oil can help you stay in the fat-burning state known as ketosis.

  • Exercise- MCTs can subdue the buildup of lactate during exercise, allowing you to extend moderate to high-level intensity workouts.

Why Is MCT Oil Added To CBD Products?

To put it simply, MCT oil is added to CBD products to improve the effectiveness of CBD.

When ingesting CBD, it must first pass through the digestive tract and liver before reaching the bloodstream, during this process some of the CBD can be lost and quickly expelled from the body thus reducing its bioavailability. Since MCT oil doesn’t need stomach acid to be broken down by the body, it can help act as a carrier for CBD so more of the beneficial cannabinoid ends up reaching the bloodstream therefore maximizing its effects.

Adding MCT Oil To Your CBD Routine

If taking capsules or gummies is your preferred method of CBD consumption, then we suggest including MCT oil to your routine in order to get the most out of your CBD.
