Life Matrix MCT Oil Vanilla 500ml
R207.00
MCTs (medium chain triglycerides) are a powerful energy source from fats that are used by those following a low-carb ketogenic (eg Banting) diet. Lifematrix MCT Oil is blended from both coconuts and palm kernels.
They are used as a natural performance enhancer by athletes and bodybuilders as they are anti-inflammatory in addition to providing instant and sustainable energy. MCTs have also found use in weight loss programmes where they have been shown to improve metabolism and thyroid function as well as increase the number of calories burnt (thermogenic effect). Diabetics may also benefit from including MCT oil in their diets as it improves blood sugar regulation.

Organic Odourless Coconut Oil-1Litre
R98.00Add to cartRefined coconut oil is pressed from dried coconut meat (copra) and is almost always refined before human consumption. During the process of refining, much of the original coconut taste is removed, along with some of the micronutrients. Because copra is a cheaper raw material, refined coconut oil is also typically a lot less expensive than virgin coconut oil.
Coconut oil is rich in saturated fatty acids, especially lauric acid (about 50%) and myristic acid (about 20%). These fatty acids are so-called ‘medium-chain triglycerides’ (MCTs) because they are shorter molecules than the saturated fats commonly found in vegetable oils and animal fats (e.g. palmitic and stearic acid). This also explains why coconut oil has a far better health profile than its high content of saturated fats would suggest.

R117.00Add to cartWeight Management: MCTs may aid in weight management by promoting a feeling of fullness, reducing calorie intake, and increasing calorie burning.
Increased Energy Levels: MCTs are quickly converted into energy, providing a fast and efficient fuel source, especially beneficial for athletes and those engaging in high-intensity workouts.
Brain Health: MCTs can cross the blood-brain barrier, offering a rapid energy source for the brain. Some research suggests potential cognitive benefits and neuroprotective effects.
Blood Sugar Regulation: MCTs may help regulate blood sugar levels, with a controlled and lower rise compared to long-chain triglycerides. This can be beneficial for individuals with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes.
Improved Digestive Health: MCTs in coconut oil have antimicrobial properties that may support digestive health by combating harmful microorganisms. Additionally, they are easily digestible and may aid in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
