MCT Energy is a low-calorie source of healthy fats, easily metabolized to meet mental and physical energy needs.
MCT Energy contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) as a source of calorie-reduced healthy fats with minimal fat storage potential. Their small size makes them up to 100 times more soluble than long-chain fatty acids. MCTs also take a metabolic shortcut directly to the liver, to be metabolized into around ⅛e of the time compared to long-chain fatty acids. MCTs do not require carnitine (derived from amino acids) to be transported to mitochondria for energy production at the cellular level. Bile salts and pancreatic enzymes are also spared for their digestion.
The ease and speed of digestion of MCTs make them an excellent source of dynamic energy suitable for endurance athletes; those seeking to lose weight; patients with poor appetite; and people suffering from malabsorption diseases such as celiac disease, short bowel syndrome, or chronic liver disease (such as hepatitis).
