BERGABEST MCT Oil Multifunctional Active Oil

BERGABEST MCT Oil is a medium chain triglyceride of fractionated vegetable fatty acids, mainly caprylic and capric acid. It is colourless, neutral in odour and taste, and has a very low viscosity. BERGABEST MCT Oil is declared in labelling as a "vegetable oil".

BERGABEST MCT Oil is especially valuable from the nutritional point of view: it is taken up directly by the bloodstream and transported to the liver. Because of this it is converted into energy immediately and not stored as depot fat like the long-chain triglycerides. MCT Oil is digested and absorbed indepently of auxiliary substances such as bile acids.

Properties of BERGABEST MCT Oil:

Very low viscosity	Very good resistance to oxidation
Good low-temperature stability	Excellent resistance to polymerization
Extremely low iodine value	Good solubility in alcohol

The Double role of BERGABEST MCT Oil:

Additive:	Nutritional Benefit:
Solubilizer	Direct energy
Releasing agent	Easy digestibility
Surface-treating substance	No storage in the depot fat
Carrier and transport vehicle	Suitable for special diets
Lubricant	Substitute for conventional oils
Hydrophobing agent
Film former and protective substance
Viscosity regulator
