DESCRIPTION
Melrose Omega DHA + MCT Oil is a blend of high-concentrate DHA fish oil derived from 100% sustainable, wild-caught anchovies and sustainable coconut-derived MCT's (medium chain triglycerides). It is formulated with the ideal ratio for brain health. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a primary component of every cell in the body. It is the most abundant omega-3 found in the brain and eyes and is important for cell function. Coconut-derived MCT's are easily absorbed and converted in the liver to ketones, which are used for energy by the body and brain. MCT's are not stored in the body as fat.
This blend contains purified fish oil and flavourless MCT oil, resulting in a light, odourless texture with a clear appearance. It is gently flavoured with natural lime and invigorating eucalyptus.
About MCTs:
Derived from 100% sustainably farmed coconut oil, Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) have slightly shorter fatty acid chain compared to the fats and oils from animal and plant sources, which contain Long Chain Triglycerides (LCTs) (e.g., fish, avocado, nuts, seeds, corn, peanut, safflower, and soybean oil).
MCTs are metabolised differently compared to LCTs, as they are directly absorbed into your portal circulation and do not need to be emulsified like long-chain triglycerides. MCTs optimise energy production for your body, specifically during periods of fasting, or when following a low carbohydrate diet. MCTs are converted to ketones which boost satiety, provide alternative energy source and improve mental focus.
