Can MCT powder support brain health?Updated 22 days ago
MCT oil is brain fuel. One study suggested that MCT oil could supply the brain with up to 8-9% more energy. This may contribute to better focus and mental clarity, and it's also been shown to improve cognitive function in hypoglycaemic (low blood sugar) conditions.
Additional research has found that the use of MCTs can even help improve memory problems, including among those with Alzheimer’s disease. A 2018 study found that using MCTs alongside a ketogenic diet helped patients with Alzheimer’s experience improvements in symptoms.
