MCT Ketone Energy

• Caprylic acid formula for metabolism and energy production
• Source of medium chain fatty acids that supports energy production at the cellular level in the body.
• Each tablespoon provides 14 grams of medium chain triglycerides (MCT)
• Derived from coconut or African palm oil
• Convenient liquid formula

Description

MCT Ketone Energy provides 14 grams of MCT per tablespoon to support energy metabolism and production. Also known as octanoic acid, caprylic acid is an eight-carbon MCT naturally found in coconut and palm kernel oil. Because it is rapidly absorbed, transported directly to the liver, and readily crosses the mitochondrial membrane to undergo β-oxidation, caprylic acid is an efficient fuel source that is readily taken up by adipose tissue. Acute ingestion of 10 g of caprylic acid is also known to increase the formation of ketone bodies, which are normally produced by the liver when glucose availability is low, such as during fasting or intense exercise. In addition to providing energy for tissues such as the heart and muscles, ketones become the primary secondary source of energy for the brain when glucose availability decreases. A clinical trial found that caprylic acid was the most ketonic MCT compared to coconut oil, capric acid (C10:0) or a combination of oils. It has also been suggested that MCTs support energy production and performance during exercise by regulating mitochondrial function and carbohydrate utilization, and it may contribute to negative energy balance by increasing energy expenditure.
