Medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil contains medium-length chains of fats called triglycerides.Due to their shorter length, MCTs are more easily digested than longer-chain fatty acids found in many other foods. This can help with weight loss, increase energy, muscle recovery and help fight off bacterial growth to mention a few benefits. MCTs have a number of benefits including: Energy: MCTs easily enter your cells without being broken down by the liver, as a result, they can be used as an immediate source of energy.* Fat Loss: Through several processes, MCTs help promote the use of fat for energy instead of Carbohydrates. Thus MCTs are an essential part of a low-carb diet for most athletes and fitness professionals today.* Ketones: MCT also offers an alternative energy source; ketones. As well as the fat loss benefits of Ketones, there is also evidence to suggest that MCTs have positive effects on the brain.
