What Are MCT’s?

MCT’s, or Medium Chain Triglycerides, are a type of fatty acid often derived from coconut or palm oil and some dairy products. As the name suggests, MCT oil contains these medium-length chains of fatty acids, called triglycerides. Because of their shorter length, these fats can be easily digested and absorbed by your body and used for immediate energy. Four different types of MCT’s exist and the ones that are most commonly used for MCT oil are caprylic and capric acids. Capric acid, or C6, quickly converts to sugar-like molecules called ketones, which are fuel molecules for the brain. Caprylic acid, or C8, has great anti-microbial properties and metabolizes quickly in the brain. So, what are the potential health benefits you can gain from adding this fatty acid into your diet? Read on to learn!
