Medium chain triglycerides are partially synthetic fats that derive their name from arrangement of the atoms that comprise their chemical structure. They consist of three fatty acids and a glycerol backbone. When used in pharmaceutical manufacturing applications, MCTs act as superior pharmaceutical excipients and serve as a carrier or suspension medium for various oil-soluble drugs and antibiotics. We offer MCTs for sale in liquid and kosher form and packaged in drums and isotanks.
