What is MCT?

Medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) are a specific type of healthy fatty acids that are treated like the carbohydrates by the body; While most of the fats are digested in the intestines and processed and then transported in the blood, MCTs are absorbed unchanged and delivered directly into the liver directly into the liver, where they can be used directly as energy. As a result, medium chain triglycerides can be used as an additional source of healthy calories and additional energy.

MCT action

MCT fatty acids, having around 7kcal / 1g, are an excellent source of energy easily accessible by the body, allowing them to conserve glycogen and protein in their muscles by protecting them from catabolism - firstly, the body uses triglyceride calories. Due to their specific structure, medium chain triglycerides are only minimally deposited in the form of adipose tissue and their vast majority is a source of rapidly utilized energy.

The beneficial properties of MCTs are due to the rate of their metabolism. As MCTs are absorbed directly into the portal vein, there is no lipase or bile in their digestive process, making them the ideal source of fatty acids for people with fat metabolism disorders. In addition, because MCTs are absorbed very quickly, they need twice as much oxygen to release energy as other fatty acids. MCTs improve the absorption of food and favorably absorb the absorption of one of the strongest antioxidants, vitamin E.
