Actions and Spectrum
medium chain triglycerides are rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and transported directly to the liver through the portal vein. In the liver, they are quickly converted into energy in the form of ketones or used as substrates for energy production.
It is a form of dietary supplements or nutritional products and typically contain a purified form of medium chain triglycerides derived from natural sources such as coconut oil.

Contraindication/Caution:
Contraindication:
Caution:
Pregnancy consideration:
Pregnancy category: N/A
Lactation: Excretion into human milk is unknown
Pregnancy Categories:
Category A: well-controlled and Satisfactory studies show no risk to the fetus in the first or later trimester.
Category B: there was no evidence of risk to the fetus in animal studies, and there were not enough studies on pregnant women.
Category C: there was evidence of risk of adverse effects in animal reproduction studies, and no adequate evidence in human studies must take care of potential risks in pregnant women.
Category D: adequate data with sufficient evidence of human fetal risk from various platforms, but despite the potential risk, and used only in emergency cases for potential benefits.
Category X: Drugs listed in this category outweigh the risks over benefits. Hence these categories of drugs need to be avoided by pregnant women.
Category N: There is no data available for the drug under this category.
Pharmacology
medium chain triglycerides have a higher ketogenic capacity than LCTs. Ketones, such as beta-hydroxybutyrate, are produced during the metabolism of MCTs, which can be used as an alternative energy source for the brain and other tissues when glucose availability is limited.
Pharmacodynamics
Limited information available
Pharmacokinetics
Absorption
medium chain triglycerides are rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
Distribution
medium chain triglycerides are transported through the bloodstream.
Metabolism
medium chain triglycerides are metabolized into energy.
Elimination and excretion
medium chain triglycerides are excreted from the body primarily through respiration and urine.
Administration
medium chain triglycerides (MCT) are available as dietary supplements in the form of MCT oil or MCT powder.
MCT oil is a concentrated source of MCTs derived from natural sources such as coconut oil or palm kernel oil.

Generic Name: medium chain triglycerides
Why do we use medium chain triglycerides?
medium chain triglycerides are commonly used in ketogenic diets, which are high-fat, low-carbohydrate diets designed to promote ketosis. medium chain triglycerides can be beneficial for individuals with certain medical conditions that affect fat absorption, such as cystic fibrosis or certain gastrointestinal disorders.
medium chain triglycerides are a quick and readily available source of energy. When consumed, they are rapidly absorbed, where they are efficiently converted into energy.
