You may have heard the buzz about MCT oil—especially if you're into keto, low-carb, or intermittent fasting. But what exactly is MCT oil, and why are people blending it into their morning brew like it’s the secret to superpowers? Spoiler alert: for some, it kind of is.
Let’s break down what makes MCT oil special, how to use it, and whether it might be a good fit for your wellness routine.
First Things First: What Is MCT Oil?
MCT stands for medium-chain triglycerides, a type of fat that’s easier for your body to digest and quickly convert into energy. Unlike long-chain fats (found in things like nuts, seeds, and oils), MCTs bypass the usual digestive process and go straight to your liver, where they’re turned into fuel instead of being stored as fat.
That’s part of what makes MCT oil a favourite in the wellness world—it’s a fast-acting, clean energy source that’s especially popular among people following high-fat, low-carb lifestyles.
Kardish Organic MCT Oil is made from 100% organic coconut oil and contains no palm oil, additives, or fillers, making it a clean and sustainable option you can feel good about.
Why Add It to Coffee?
If you've ever heard the term "keto coffee" or "butter coffee," that’s where MCT oil comes in. Blending it into your morning cup (usually with a bit of grass-fed butter or ghee) creates a creamy, frothy drink that helps:
-
Boost mental clarity and focus
-
Support steady energy (without the caffeine crash)
-
Keep you feeling full for longer
-
Kickstart fat-burning during fasting or low-carb eating
Think of it as a wellness upgrade to your daily ritual—especially if you're skipping breakfast or trying to power through a busy morning.
How Does It Work in the Body?
When you consume MCT oil, your body metabolizes it quickly, converting it into ketones—a clean fuel source your brain and muscles love. This is why MCT oil is so popular among:
-
Keto and low-carb eaters, who rely on fat for energy instead of carbs
-
Intermittent fasters, who want a boost without breaking their fast
-
Busy folks who need mental clarity without another cup of coffee
Because MCT oil doesn’t spike insulin, it can be a helpful tool for those trying to manage blood sugar or maintain a longer fasting window.
Easy Ways to Use MCT Oil
Adding MCT oil to your coffee is the classic move, but it’s more versatile than you might think. Here are some simple ideas to get started:
☕ Blended in Coffee
Add 1 tsp to 1 tbsp of Kardish Organic MCT Oil to your morning coffee and blend until creamy. For a richer version, add grass-fed butter or your favourite plant-based creamer.
🥤 In Smoothies
Mix a spoonful into your post-workout smoothie or protein shake for lasting energy.
🥗 Drizzled on Salads
Use it like a neutral oil in dressings or to finish off a dish—just don’t cook with it at high heat, as it’s not ideal for frying or roasting.
🍫 In Healthy Treats
Stir into homemade energy balls, fat bombs, or keto desserts for a silky texture and extra fuel.
Tip: Start small (½ to 1 tsp) if you’re new to MCT oil. It’s potent stuff, and your digestion may need a few days to adjust.
Who Is It Best For?
While MCT oil can support most wellness goals, it’s especially useful for:
-
Keto & low-carb lifestyles – for clean, quick-burning energy
-
Intermittent fasting – to help extend fasts and maintain focus
-
Busy professionals & students – for a mental boost without extra caffeine
-
Athletes – for endurance and post-workout recovery
