Description About Medium-chain Triglycerides(MCTs)
Medium-chain Triglycerides(MCTs) are derived from natural plant oils, and are classed as fatty acids. They are very different to typical fatty acids and contain a much lower calorie content. MCTs are readily absorbed and used for energy, more so resembling a carbohydrate than a fat source.
Medium-chain Triglycerides(MCTs) are neutral in odor and taste, suitable for use in combination with other ingredients to give various nutritional formulas, especially for special functional foods, sports nutrition, infant nutrition, and weight management products.
Medium-chain Triglycerides(MCTs) are commonly used as a special food for patients with post-operative infections and skin burns, as well as foods for people with poor fat absorption, AIDS and cancer, and diabetes, and for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Dissipate gallstone, reduce cholesterol, prevent and cure hyperlipidemia and so on. In addition, it can also help to lose weight. It has been proved that eating MCT has obvious effect on body weight, abdominal fat area and waist circumference.
Medium-chain Triglycerides(MCTs) also provides the athlete with a source of quick energy, much faster than maltodextrin or any high glycemic carbohydrate making them ideal for those looking to increase muscle mass and bulk up.
Medium-chain Triglycerides(MCTs) contain bacteria that help balance the intestinal microbiota, which has a positive effect on digestive symptoms, energy, and the ability to take vitamins and minerals from food.
