Histamine Tracker
MCT oil
MCT oil is a highly refined, fractionated coconut or palm-derived fat with no known histamine content or triggering properties.
MCT oil is produced by isolating medium-chain triglycerides — specific types of fat — from coconut or palm kernel oil through an industrial refining process.
-
Highly purified — the fractionation process that creates MCT oil removes virtually everything except the target fatty acids, leaving an extremely neutral, pure fat
-
No fermentation or aging — nothing in MCT oil's production involves the processes that generate histamine, and there's no established link to histamine reactions
It's generally considered one of the most neutral oils available from a histamine sensitivity standpoint.
