With the rise of Bulletproof coffee and consumers embracing healthy fats, a number of MCT oil products have been launched to supercharge beverages—but Nutiva will soon be launching a MCT powder as a convenient alternative. Coconut oil contains different strains of MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides) or fatty acids that are quickly and easily digested by the body.
The organic coconut oil MCT powder is touted as a sustainable source of ketogenic fuel that helps to boost one's energy, burn fat and increase mental clarity. With this new product, the brand will be moving into the supplement category.
The powdered product is enriched with prebiotic acacia fiber, a type of soluble fiber that supports a balanced microbiome, good gut health and weight management.
