Description
Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are a unique group of fatty acids found in fresh coconuts. MCT oil is primarily composed of capric and caprylic, unique fatty acids that support energy production.*
When consumed, MCTs produce ketone bodies which promote fat metabolism by breaking large molecules into smaller ones. In fact, a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition comparing MCTs and LCTs (long-chain triglycerides) showed that MCTs boosted metabolism by 12%, leading to 53 more calories burned after meals.*
