Known as Medium Chain Triglycerides, MCT’s, unlike long chain triglycerides (LCT) that are found in your most common food groups, are metabolised and utilised far more efficiently than your dominant dietary fats.
Once consumed, MCT’s are transported into the liver for quick assimilation and utilisation, whereas LCT’s go through an elaborate digestive process requiring a multitude of pathways to be used in order for LCT’s to be broken down into usable energy or more likely, then stored as fat.
In essence, the likelihood of MCT’s being stored as body fat is far less than dietary LCT’s as once they reach the liver they are either broken down into ketone bodies and used as muscle energy, converted into usable ATP just like carbohydrates or used to increase thermogenesis, which is the increase in bodily temperature to burn more energy.
MCT’s can be considered as muscle energy bound fatty acids and they also contain less calories per gram than all other dietary fat sources as well as being the only metabolically positive fats as well.
Using MCT’s around exercise may delay the breakdown and utilisation of carbohydrates, which can prevent fatigue, as well as improving daily caloric burn in those using MCT’s as a dietary fat source. Similarly, MCT’s can be used to enhance saturated fat intake, which is critical for hormonal regulation, however, they should not be your dominant fatty acid source as they only contain Capric and Caprylic acids, unlike coconut oil, which also contains Lauric acid.
Start with 1 teaspoon per day. After one week slowly increase dosage to 1-2 tablespoons daily.
For everyday use. Can be taken straight, added to hot drinks, smoothies and salad dressings. For best results to be taken as part of a low carbohydrate diet. Flavour Free.
