May reduce risk factors for heart disease

It has been demonstrated that MCT oil supports fat and weight loss. Your chance of developing heart disease could be lowered as a result. In a study involving 24 obese males, it was discovered that ingesting flaxseed oil, phytosterols, and MCT oil for 29 days lowered total cholesterol by 12.5%. Olive oil, on the other hand, only resulted in a 4.7% reduction. The MCT oil mixture was observed to improve LDL (bad) cholesterol reductions when added to the subjects' diets, according to the same study. Additionally, MCT oil may contribute to an increase in heart-protective HDL (good) cholesterol.

Even C-reactive protein (CRP), an inflammatory marker that raises the risk for heart disease, can be greatly decreased by it. Other earlier studies discovered that MCT-oil-based mixes can also have a beneficial impact on other heart disease risk factors.
