MCT Oil
Brand: DietWorks
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
Unlike long-chain fatty acids, Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) bypass standard digestion. They are transported directly to the liver via the portal vein. Here, they undergo rapid beta-oxidation, converting immediately into ketones. These ketones serve as an efficient, non-carbohydrate energy source for the brain and body. This process fuels cellular mitochondria without requiring the insulin spikes associated with glucose metabolism, promoting sustained energy and metabolic flexibility.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Rapid, ketone-based energy production
- Enhanced cognitive function and mental clarity
- Appetite suppression for weight management
- Ideal fat source for ketogenic diets
- 100% pure extraction from coconuts
