Captex® Medium-Chain Triglycerides

Captex MCTs have notable use in the Pharmaceutical industry as excellent carriers and solubilizers in various drug delivery systems. The versatility of Captex MCTs  across different markets is a result of the unique functional and nutritional characteristics Captex MCTs  possess, such as:

  • Providing sustainable energy, promoting prolonged satiety, aiding in brain health and supporting a healthy metabolism [1-3]
  • Ability to solubilize active nutritional ingredients to enhance absorption while contributing almost no taste to the formulation
  • Kosher and Halal
  • Not manufactured from bioengineered ingredients (Non-GMO)
  • Powdered forms available in our Nutri Sperse® product line

These properties (and more) make Captex MCTs a very viable choice for a variety of clinical nutrition applications.
