ketogenic - MCT

Why do people who follow the keto diet use MCT?

Quickly add good fats to your diet with MCT oil. The use of MCT oil can be a valuable addition to a ketogenic diet. It contains easily-digestible fatty acids that can be quickly transported to the liver where they are converted into ketones. This can help to regulate blood sugar levels and consequently also help to lose weight.
This can then have positive effects on the symptoms of various diseases such as diabetes, Alzheimer’s, epilepsy and autism.
