MCT (Medium-Chain Triglycerides)

Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) are a type of fat found in foods like coconut oil and palm kernel oil. Unlike long-chain fats, MCTs are shorter and easier for the body to digest. They are quickly absorbed into the bloodstream and converted into energy by the liver, providing a rapid source of fuel. MCTs are often used in diets for energy, weight management, and certain medical conditions because of their efficientability to boost energy without storing as fat. They can be beneficial for athletes, those on ketogenic diets, or individuals with digestion issues.
