Now lets understand their products in details:-

MCT’s – The structure of triglycerides includes a glyceride molecule with three fatty acids attached. Short chain fatty acids triglycerides have less than six carbons, medium chain triglycerides have 6-12 carbons, and long chain triglycerides have 13-21 carbons. Long chain triglycerides are the most common triglyceride found in the diet.

Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) is a dietary supplement and usually used along with medications for treating food absorption disorders including diarrhea, steatorrhea and liver disease. It has been shown that MCT plays a role in lowering weight, and ecreasing metabolic syndrome, abdominal obesity and inflammation. Research has explored the idea that MCTs may be helpful for athletes. Because MCTs are rapidly absorbed in the body, they are a quick source of energy for athletes. MCT are commonly used by people on opposite sides of the spectrum: athletes and hospital patients.
MCTs are a fat source for people who cannot tolerate other types of fats. These fats might also improve weight loss because the body can more easily break them down into molecules called ketone bodies. These ketone bodies can be used for energy.

Oil’s and Fat’s water soluble powders:- To turn a fat or oil to a powder, the oil would need to be emulsified in a solution of gum Arabic . Emulsify is to force two immiscible liquids to combine in a suspension—substances like oil and water, which cannot dissolve in each other to form a uniform, homogenous solution. Although oil and water can’t mix, we can break oil down into teeny-tiny droplets that can remain suspended in the water.
