Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are a type of saturated fats derived from fatty acids. MCTs provide numerous health benefits on consumption such as increased metabolism, increased cognitive functioning and increased weight management. Thus, they are majorly used as dietary supplements. MCT supplements are common among athletes seeking nutritional support for increased performance. The compound is also used as a medicine and are normally prescribed for liver disease and digestive disorders such as diarrhea, celiac disease, and steatorrhea. Applications of medicinal MCT include gall bladder disease, obstructive jaundice, AIDS, biliary cirrhosis, cystic fibrosis, pancreatitis, Whipple’s disease, Crohn’s disease, Alzheimer's disease, and seizures.
