MCT – wissenschaftlicher Name: mittelkettiges Triglycerid, ist eine gesättigte Fettsäure. Im Vergleich zu langkettigen Fettsäuren (mehr als 12 Kohlenstoffatome, üblicherweise Talg und Schmalz) kommt häufig in der allgemeinen Ernährung vor, Mittelkettige Fettsäuren bestehen aus Molekülen 6 zu 12 Kohlenstoffatome. Fettsäuren mit weniger Kohlenstoffatomen bedeuten eine leichtere Verdauung und Nutzung durch den Körper. Einfach gesagt, MCT can be quickly metabolized into ketone bodies by the liver without going through the lymphatic system, providing energy to the body, and it is not easy to be stored as fat.
In medical research, MCT-Pulver has been proven to bring us the following benefits:
MCT (medium chain triglyceride) metabolizes about 6 times faster than LCT (long chain triglyceride), it is not easy to form fat accumulation, and it can also increase satiety, which is conducive to the development of our weight loss business .
MCT can be quickly metabolized into ketone bodies, and ketone bodies can cross the blood-brain barrier, providing an endless stream of energy for the brain.
MCT also be called-“the ‘food’that the brain prefers”.
Ketone bodies can provide energy for most cells in the body, especially our brain. More and more studies have also found that our brain needs sugar, but ketone bodies can also provide energy to the brain, And it is more suitable for powering the brain. MCTs can easily cross the blood-brain barrier in the brain, so MCTs can provide a direct source of energy to the brain by producing ketone bodies.
For patients with type 1 Diabetes, this allows patients to maintain good brain function during episodes of hypoglycemia and to keep blood sugar levels stable. One study found that ketone bodies activate a regulatory protein in the brain: brain-derived neurotrophic growth factor (BDNF). This special protein repairs, protects and enhances brain cells and neural network function, as well as stimulates the growth of new, healthy neurons.
New brain cells replace aging brain cells, which is important in preventing and relieving neurodegenerative diseases like dementia.
MCT can also reduce the fatigue caused by sports, which is the main reason why MCT can be popular in the fitness circle.
Zusätzlich, MCTs have many other benefits, einschließlich: lowering serum triglycerides, improving insulin sensitivity, und mehr. Because of MCT’s high absorption and energy supply rate, it has become an ideal fuel for many exercisers. Using MCT before and after exercise can increase exercise performance and prevent protein breakdown to promote muscle building.
In one experiment, researchers divided subjects into two groups: one group ate a meal containing 45 grams of MCTs, and the other ate a meal containing 45 grams of LCTs in the form of corn oil.
The researchers measured the rate of aerobic consumption 6 hours after the subjects’ meals. And the study found that the MCT diet group increased aerobic consumption by 12%, which was about 3 times that of the LCT diet group.
Zusätzlich, postprandial blood triglyceride levels increased by 68% in the LCT diet group, whereas postprandial blood triglyceride levels did not increase in the MCT diet group.
MCT can also suppress appetite, which is simply good news for those who can’t control themselves and eat fat too much.
In a 14-day study, six healthy male volunteers were divided into three groups: a low-MCT diet, a moderate-MCT diet, and a high-MCT diet, which volunteers could eat without restriction. It was found that the calorie intake of food in the high MCT diet group was significantly the lowest, naturally consuming 256 less calories per day.
The researchers propose that replacing a portion of other fats with MCTs in a high-fat diet can limit excess energy intake.
Best Nutras could supply premium MCT oil powder from coconut oil and
palm oil. And we could provide COAs, Koscher, Halal, USDA, ISO22000 certificates also. Schreiben Sie uns gerne an [email protected].
