Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are a type of fat found in certain foods, such as coconut oil and palm kernel oil. They are composed of medium-length fatty acid chains, which makes them easier for the body to digest and absorb compared to long-chain triglycerides. MCTs are quickly converted into energy, making them a popular choice for athletes and those following a ketogenic diet. MCTs are often used as a dietary supplement and can be found in oil form or as part of various food products. They may offer potential health benefits, including improved weight management and enhanced cognitive function. However, more research is needed to fully understand their effects on health.
