3. Where are MCTs Found?

Pure MCT oil is man-made in a lab, usually by isolating the MCTs in palm and coconut oil and leaving out the LCTs that make these oils less than ideal. That said, 100% pure MCT oil is not easy to come by. For people looking for a natural source of MCTs, coconut oil is about 60 percent, palm oil 50 percent, and most dairy products are between ten and 12 percent. Just remember that these natural sources contain LCTs as well.
