Medium Chain Triglycerides-MCT

Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) are fats composed of medium-length chains of fatty acids (6 to 12 carbon atoms). Unlike long-chain triglycerides (LCTs), MCTs are more rapidly absorbed and metabolized by the liver for quick energy rather than being stored as fat. They are typically derived from coconut oil or palm kernel oil and used in nutritional supplements, weight management, ketogenic diets, cognitive health, and energy enhancement.
