Benefits of MCTs

Increased Focus & Mental Clarity

MCTs are popularly known for their energy-boosting benefits because it’s quickly transformed into ketones, which are a more efficient and steady energy source than glucose. These go directly to your metabolism and brain, which is why promoting ketone production can help improve mental clarity and memory.

High in Healthy Fats

  • They help reduce cravings. Because they are fatty acids, they reduce appetite, which makes you feel full for longer periods of time.
  • May help manage diabetes: Early evidence suggests MCT supplements are well-accepted in people with type 2 diabetes, and may help increase insulin sensitivity and pancreatic beta cell function.

Improves Gut Health

There’s evidence that the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties from C8 can help keep bad bacteria in check to treat digestive disorders like IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). A study has shown that C8 can suppress cytokines, which are responsible for bowel damage in Crohn's disease, stomach ulcers, and IBS.
