MCT
Medium-chain triglyceride
MCT stands for medium-chain triglycerides—fats with shorter molecular chains than most dietary fats.
Because they're processed differently by the body, MCTs are marketed as a quick energy source and weight-loss aid.
MCT oil is popular in ketogenic diets and often added to coffee.
Coconut oil is naturally high in MCTs.
