FAQ / Horse / MCT oil

MCT oil

"What is MCT oil?"

MCT is an abbreviation for Medium Chain Triglycerides and refers to medium-length fat chains, compared to "regular" oils and fats, which consist of long-chain triglycerides. The length of the fatty acid plays a crucial role in how it is absorbed and utilized by the body.

MCT oil is absorbed directly in the small intestine, converted into energy in the liver, and easily enters the cells, where it is utilized by the mitochondria (the cell's powerhouse). This provides the horse with a fast and efficient energy supply, particularly for the muscles.

Additionally, MCT oil offers several health benefits, especially for the heart and brain. A truly fantastic fuel for the body!
