1. MCTs: What Are They and How Do They Work? Table Of Contents 1.1 Defining Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are a unique type of dietary fat that consists of medium-length fatty acid chains, typically ranging from 6 to 12 carbon atoms. Unlike long-chain triglycerides (LCTs) found in most dietary fats, MCTs have a shorter molecular structure, which influences their metabolism in the body. sources of MCTs in dairy product, palm kernel oil, coconut oil etc. 1.2 Metabolic Pathways of MCTs Once consumed, MCTs are rapidly absorbed by the body and transported directly to the liver via the portal vein. Unlike LCTs, which require bile acids for digestion and absorption, MCTs can be metabolized without this process. In the liver, MCTs are quickly converted into ketones, which can serve as a readily available source of energy for the body and the brain. 1.3 Healthful Sources of MCTs Coconut oil is one of the richest natural sources of MCT
