Medium-Chained Triglycerides
What is Medium Chain Triglycerides(MCTs)?
MCTs (Medium Chain Triglycerides) are lipids which burn rapidly in the cells and do not contribute to fat storage.
What does Medium Chain Triglycerides(MCT) do?
Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) is often used in weight loss programs because it possesses thermogenic effects and suppresses appetite when taken before meals.
Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) Fuel is a high-octane energy fuel containing emulsified medium-chain triglycerides (MCT's) and emulsified natural vitamin E. MCT's are lipids composed of medium-chain fatty acids. These unique lipids provide more than twice the energy powder of carbohydrates and protein, and are less likely to turn into body fat than are long chain fatty acids.
Because Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) Fuel is naturally emulsified, it can be conveniently taken undiluted by the tablespoonful or easily mixed with your favorite beverage. As a dietary supplement, take two tablespoonfuls two to four times daily. For best results take two tablespoonfuls before exercise.
Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) is beneficial:
Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) is an alternative energy source which is readily utilizable and can reduce muscle protein breakdown during wound healing or during recovery from burns. These are catabolic conditions where muscle breakdown exceeds muscle growth. Similarly, prolonged, exhaustive exercise and dieting (restricting caloric intake) is also a catabolic state in which muscle protein is being broken down in order to provide metabolic energy. This would suggest that as an alternative energy source, Chain Triglycerides (MCT) may benefit some athletes and those athletes restricting carbohydrates and calories in the diet.
MCT Fuel is a revolutionary new emulsified MCT (medium-chain Triglyceride) oil that has been developed for quicker and easier assimilation and for those people who could never tolerate the taste of ordinary MCT oil. No chemical emulsifiers are used in MCT Fuel. Only small amounts of natural lecithin and apple pectin, nature's natural emulsifiers, are used in its production. MCT Fuel has a delicious, 100% natural orange flavor. It also does not have the undesirable oily taste like ordinary MCT oil.
"High-octane" energy booSt. Many athletes have become accustomed to taking carbohydrate drinks to fuel themselves through a workout. But many body-builders follow low-carbohydrate, high-protein diets to accelerate fat burning and to remove excess fluid from tissues in order to get ripped with striated and well-defined muscles, ruling out the use of high carbohydrate drinks. MCT Fuel can be used as a quick-acting, highly-concentrated energy source and alternative to high carbohydrate energy drinks for those bodybuilders on low-carbohydrate, high-protein diets.
