If you’ve ever tried a Full Spectrum CBD oil with hemp seed oil and you felt it really didn’t work for you it could be your body isn’t processing it as well as it only contains 11% saturated fat. MCT Oil contains 90% saturated fat. That may sound like it has the potential to clog your arteries, but it’s not because the saturated fats in coconuts are primarily made up of medium chain triglycerides (MCTs). Now don’t get me wrong CBD oil with hemp seed oil is great and has amazing benefits. But just may not be for everyone.

MCT oil is the most efficient way to consume CBD oil so the cannabinoids interact with the body quickly and easily. Medium chain triglycerides, or MCTs, are medium-length fatty acid chains.

Examples of Medium Chain Fatty Acids:

Caproic acid (Hexaonic acid – C6-six carbons)

Caprylic acid (Octanoic acid – C8-8 carbons)

Capric acid (Dacanoic acid – C10-10 carbons)

Lauric acid (Dodecanoic acid – C12- 12 carbons)

Cannabinoids break down and are stored in fat versus water (fat soluble), so are best consumed with fat to increase absorption. Take note that not all fats are good for this.

The liver sees the MCT oils as carbs and directly metabolizes the oil into energy. It does this without causing free-radicals, because the liver still processes it as a fat. This rapid metabolism also puts the cannabinoids to use right away.

A very common source of MCTs is coconut / palm kernel oil, but it’s important to know not all coconut oil will be a good source. It’s best to have a high grade oil for best efficiency. For the good coconut oil, two thirds of it’s fatty acids are MCTs.

This amazing oil isn’t only making a splash in the cannabis industry, but is being used for better brain function, weight management, and overall good health.

MCTs are being used in addition to medications for food absorption disorders such as celiac disease and liver disease, and have also been used for cystic fibrosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and seizures in children.

MCT oil can help regulate blood sugar by causing the sugar present in the bloodstream to store in muscle tissue rather than fat mass. This improved insulin function can also help the body to increase the amount of muscle mass, and better yet gives your brain consistent energy to run!

The immune system can benefit from MCT oil which has antibacterial, anti-fungal, and antiviral properties from its lauric acid, capric and caprylic acid, and antimicrobial lipids.

Research on MCTs suggests these medium chain fats may be a positive impact for balancing hormones and increased insulin sensitivity.

Studies have found MCT oil can assist with energy and brain function, making it a great addition to CBD. All of the potential benefits of MCTs complement what studies, research and self made testimonials are starting to show us about CBD.

It’s also been found that this combination can also help with metabolism. CBD will shift the metabolism away from burning sugar and towards a fatty-acid metabolism, while MCT oil will help the fat burning process. The more the endocannabinoid system is regulated and balanced, the metabolism can typically improve.

As it turns out, coconut oil is pretty much the perfect carrier oil for CBD because of its saturated fat content. The way that cannabinoids work molecularly is, the higher the lipid content of the oil they are in, the better and more efficiently they can dissolve. Conveniently, coconut oil is made up of up to 90% saturated fat, as opposed to olive oil and hemp seed oil which are only made of around 14% and 11% fat content, respectively.

If you’re following a ketogenic diet, which is very low in carbs yet high in fat, then taking MCT oil can help you stay in the fat-burning state known as ketosis.
