What Is MCT Oil?
10. Provides Energy for Brain Function
MCTs are easily broken down into energy producing ketones. Once ketones are produced in the liver, they are deposited in the bloodstream for transportation throughout the body. And because ketones easily cross the blood-brain barrier, they are a ready source of energy for the brain.
Some studies indicate that MCTs can help in the treatment of brain degenerative disorders like dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
