What is MCT?
Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are fats with 6-12 carbon atoms. Because of their shorter chain length, MCTs are absorbed and metabolized differently from many common dietary fats, making them a useful ingredient for balanced everyday nutrition.
Health Benefits of MCT
Supports balanced energy use
MCTs are metabolized efficiently and can be part of a balanced diet when used in appropriate portions alongside varied foods and an active lifestyle.
Part of mindful nutrition
Choosing suitable fats and using oils in moderation can support a more balanced daily eating pattern.
Quickly metabolized energy
MCTs are absorbed efficiently and can be converted into energy. They should be used as part of a varied diet and are not a substitute for medical advice.
