MCT - Oil and their benefits


The advent of E-cigarettes has been gaining popularity because of its simple mechanism. Eliquid or E-juice is filled up in the cartridge of the E-cigarettes and when the E-liquid is heated up, it converts to aerosol and E-cigarettes users inhale the vapor. E-liquid or E-juice is termed vape juice. The usual vape juice contains four ingredients: a propylene glycol (PG) or vegetable glycerin (VG) base, nicotine, water, and flavorings.
 This usual composition of E-cigarettes has some health drawbacks. The most usual base of E-cigarettes is Propylene glycol (PG). PG is a bland and flavorless substance and does not interfere with the flavor of the e-liquid. Consistent users of PG based E-cigarettes often experience drying of the mouth and throat, as PG absorbs moisture (humectant). Throat hit effect is similar to tobacco cigarettes for PG based E-cigarettes. In rare instances, some e-cig users reported allergic reactions with PG based E-cigarettes.
Vegetable glycerin (VG) is a considerably thicker solution and is difficult to absorb by the polyfill
fabric present inside the cartridge and can be a major drawback of VG. Vegetable glycerin (VG)
is also sweet in taste and this interferes with the taste of the E-liquid. Many users choose a PG/
VG mix to solve all these difficulties present in single based vape juice.
Experimental research data has shown that glycerol induces stiffness in the soft covering of the
lungs.

 The functional unit of the lungs is termed as alveoli. During inhalation and exhalation,
the alveoli inflate and deflate accordingly. The inflation and deflation of alveoli largely depend
on surface tension. The alveoli are coated with surfactant (also known as lung surfactant) to
minimize the surface tension.  The lung surfactant becomes stiff in the presence of glycerol
and increases surface tension.  Increased surface tension creates difficulty in inflating the alveoli and requires more effort to inhale.

 Vegetable glycerin (VG) is a natural glycerol and can create this same problem with high concentration. Therefore, the concentration of VG acting as a career in vape juice is a very crucial factor for long-term use.
These days MCT oil made of medium chain triglycerides (MCT)replaces propylene glycol (PG)
or vegetable glycerin (VG) base in vape juice. Previously we had a misconception that oil or rather a lipid is bad for health. But the gradual development of nutritional research explains that
lipids are essential for physiological functioning. More detailed descriptions were obtained from
Nutraceutical and Specialty Lipids and their Co-Products presentation, which illustrated the
nutritional value and health aspects of fats and oils. However, it is obvious that the source and
process of lipid extraction are important for getting the beneficial health effect.

MCT is a natural constituent of many food items. Some of the food items which contain MCT are
coconut oil, palm oil, goat milk and other mammalian milk including human.
