MCT Oil
supplementMedium-chain triglycerides for quick energy, ketone production, and cognitive performance. Popular in bulletproof coffee.
Reported Benefits
Ingestion of 6 g of medium-chain triglycerides increases serum ketone concentrations and fat oxidation during exercise in healthy males
NOSAKA N, MATSuo T, IKEDA H
Healthy male athletes ingesting 6g MCT before cycling utilized more fat for energy and produced higher ketone levels compared to long-chain triglycerides, though the difference in substrate use was not always significant.
The Effects of Medium-Chain Triglyceride Oil Supplementation on Endurance Performance and Substrate Utilization in Healthy Adults
Kim JH, Lee SJ, et al.
MCT oil supplementation in healthy adults during endurance exercise increased fat utilization and ketone production, supporting energy provision without significant performance detriment.
Medium chain triglyceride oil consumption as part of a weight loss diet does not lead to an adverse metabolic profile when compared to olive oil.
St-Onge MP, Bosarge A, Goree LL, Darnell B
In overweight healthy adults, daily MCT oil consumption as part of a weight loss diet led to greater reductions in body weight and fat mass compared to olive oil, without negatively impacting blood lipids or metabolic risk factors.
Medium-chain triglycerides increase energy expenditure and decrease adiposity in overweight men.
Seaton TB, Welle SL, Warenko MK, Jones RM, Nair KS
Healthy men consuming MCTs showed higher energy expenditure and greater fat oxidation compared to those consuming long-chain triglycerides, suggesting potential for reduced fat storage.
