Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT's) are fats that are naturally found in coconut, palm, and other oils. Unlike long-chain triglycerides, MCT's are more easily and rapidly digested than other types of fats, as they require lower amounts of enzymes and bile acids for intestinal absorption. Because LCTs are larger and more difficult to use, they are naturally stored in the body. MCTs are more easily absorbed and used by the body thanks to their smaller size. This makes MCTs a great, natural energy source, which helps with weight loss. Origin: USA
