(MCTs) Medium Chain Triglycerides are a type of dietary fat that are most commonly found in coconut and palm oils. MCTs are important fatty acids that are rarer in the diet than other fats. MCTs aren’t digested and absorbed in the same way as normal dietary fats, instead they are processed in the liver, rather than being stored as fat. Here’s how they work in the body:
- MCTs are absorbed into the bloodstream and converted immediately by the liver into energy
- MCTs are easier to digest and don’t need bile salts to be broken down, therefore the body can utilise MCTs more efficiently and are ideal for people with digestive issues
- MCTs support the production of ketones. Ketones as a source of energy helps stabilize blood sugar levels, reduce inflammation and enhance cognitive function
- MCTs can support weight loss, because they are quickly metabolised and converted to energy rather than being stored as fat
WHAT CAN MCTS DO FOR YOUR BODY?
- Encourage the creation of brain and body-friendly ketone fuels for natural energy
