I mixed an Orgain product containing MCT Oil in a Styrofoam cup and it melted, why?Updated 4 months ago

Great question! Rest assured there is no relationship between what MCT oil does to a styrofoam (petroleum based) cup and what it does to the body. MCT oil is an effective nutritional solvent, as it helps to move nutrients into the body. Because of this, MCT oil will react with Styrofoam. 

With that said, we recommend not using any Orgain product that contains MCT oil with Styrofoam. We recommend mixing the Orgain product that contains MCT oil in a cup that is made out of glass, metal, ceramic, or safe HDPE plastic.
