Is MCT oil a biohacking miracle or just another overhyped health trend? In this episode, we peel back the marketing labels to explore the biochemistry of Medium-Chain Triglycerides. We break down how these unique fats—primarily found in coconut and palm kernel oil—bypass the lymphatic system to provide rapid energy for the liver and brain.
Join us as we analyze the latest research on MCTs, covering:
• The Ketone Connection: How specific fatty acids like Caprylic (C8) and Capric (C10) acid fuel mitochondria and potentially aid cognitive conditions like brain fog and Alzheimer’s.
• Performance vs. Reality: Why scientific reviews suggest MCTs might not be the endurance sports super-fuel many athletes hope for, despite their ability to increase metabolic markers.
• The “Disaster Pants” Phenomenon: A candid look at the gastrointestinal side effects—from cramping to diarrhea—that occur when you take too much, too fast.
• Heart & Health Risks: Critical perspectives on saturated fats, cholesterol concerns, and why “butter coffee” might not be safe for everyone.
Whether you are keto-curious, an endurance athlete, or just looking to sharpen your mental clarity, tune in to learn how to navigate dosages, emulsification, and diet integration safely.Try Keppi MCT Oil
