In order to change liquid MCTs into a solid powder form, manufacturers mix the oil with a carrier substance (usually a starch), then spray dry the mixture into a powder form. Picture the oil molecules encapsulated by little starchy shells, then sprayed into a powder.
Production Method
There’s a reason MCT oil is so popular. The benefits of supplementing with MCTs range from better cognitive function to fat loss. MCT oil is tasteless, heat stable, and easy to digest. It also mixes well in liquids, especially when you use MCT Creamer.
Adding anywhere from a teaspoon to a couple of tablespoons per day can help you to:
Lose stored body fat or maintain a healthy weight
Increase your energy
Boost brain function and banish brain fog
Improve digestion and nutrient absorption
Balance specific hormones

Some people consider MCT powder a more versatile option than MCT oil, especially when it comes to adding MCTs to a powdered supplement. For instance, if a manufacturer wants to add some fat-burning MCTs to whey or other protein mix, MCT powder makes a lot more sense than oil. Powder has some other benefits, too:
Easily add MCTs to powders, other supplements, and baked goods.
Add a rich texture to smoothies, coffee, and baked goods.
Since the powder is cut with a starch, it’s less likely you’ll experience digestive distress, which is common with high doses of liquid MCTs.
Powders are easier to put into single-use packets and are generally easier to travel with.
USES OF MCT POWDER
Preventing muscle breakdown in critically ill patients, when given intravenously (by IV). MCTs can provide calories in critically ill patients, but don't seem to offer any advantages over normal dietary fats (long chain triglycerides).
