What are MCTs?
MCT is the short form for “Medium Chain Triglycerides,” a type of healthy saturated fat. It has one or more medium chain triglycerides which make them easy to digest in your system. Research shows that MCTs offer many health benefits. Some of them include appetite control, support for better mood levels, weight loss and much more. * Unfortunately, we do not get enough of this nutrient in our daily diet. Thanks to the bad rap on saturated fats, many have shunned healthy fats for many decades. This vital nutrient is missing in our food because many people now mistakenly believe that all saturated fats are dangerous. The result, a steep drop in the intake of healthy fats like MCTs.5 Reasons Your Body Loves MCT
