MCT oil is derived from coconut or palm oil and is composed of medium-chain triglycerides. After 60 days on MCT-based TRT, I’ve dropped body fat and my joints feel way better. My doctor told me seed oils were inflammatory, but I didn’t really get it until I made the switch. I didn’t realize how bad seed oils were for me until I got them out of my system. Say goodbye to seed oils and outdated delivery methods.
Modern injectable TRT treatments rely on oil-based carriers for controlled release. Stability – Some oils degrade faster, leading to oxidation. Irritation risk – Some oils may trigger local irritation. Injection comfort – Some oils are thicker and may cause more resistance during injection.
Each differs significantly regarding the inflammatory response they can cause in our bodies.At MHI, we have typically prescribed testosterone in grapeseed oil due to its low viscosity and minimal inflammatory response. When it comes to testosterone administration, several oil bases are used in compounding. Talk with your doctor or a registered dietitian about the benefits and risks of adding MCT oil to your eating plan. Potential drawbacks may include higher blood lipids and possible fat accumulation in your liver.
Plus, MCT oil may support weight and fat loss, which may, in turn, help reduce the risk of heart disease. A 2022 review of 18 studies examined the effects of coconut oil, which is high in MCTs. A 2013 test-tube study also showed that coconut oil reduced the growth of Clostridium difficile, a disease-causing bacterium.
It is a popular carrier oil in pharmaceuticals due to its stability, low viscosity, and rapid absorption properties. Recently, a discussion on reddit emerged about the potential difference in absorption when switching from grapeseed oil to MCT oil as the carrier for testosterone cypionate. I’ve been on TRT for 3 years, but the carrier oil always messed with my gut. With telehealth access, lab-backed dosing, and no seed oils, we’ve built a smarter way to optimize hormones—and your life. Also, be sure to ask about our new tri-blend (Cypionate/Enanthate/Propionate) injectable testosterone in MCT oil. Judging from the results we’ve seen with our patients this is our preferred oil base for injectable testosterone administration.
