MCT Oil Enhances Cognition and Physical Performance

January 17, 2019 - Nutrition

Hey folks, it’s Dr. Sam and I received the question today about whether or not MCT oil is beneficial to consume.

Well, there is a study that came out in 2009 published in the Journal of Nutrition Science. They took a group of athletes and gave them six milligrams of MCT oil before exercise.

In just two weeks, they found that athletes who consumed MCT oil regularly had lower lactic acid build-up and enhanced endurance during exericse.

Other studies looked at MCT oil’s role in managing conditions like epilespy, autism, and Alzheimer’s. These studies found that MCT oil helps balance blood glucose levels and improve brain health.

So my takeaway is that in terms of improving overall health, MCT oils is a healthful fat that I would highly recommend working into your routine.

Thanks for tuning in. Until next time, take good care.
