Can MCT oil powder support brain health?Updated 6 months ago

MCT oil is brain fuel. One study suggested that MCT oil could supply the brain with up to 8-9% more energy. This can contribute to increased focus and mental clarity. It has also been shown to improve cognitive function in hypoglycemic (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 the use of MCTs while following the ketogenic diet helped patients with Alzheimer’s experience improvements in symptoms.
