Subject: Benefits of MCT Oil On the Keto Diet

In addition, MCT oil has a thermogenic effect in the liver, which can positively support your metabolism. This is extremely beneficial if you are trying to lose weight. MCT oil can also provide an energy boost during exercise and it is easy to digest. Finally, MCT oil is great fuel for the brain, helping to clear brain fog and boost overall cognitive function.

- The keto diet involves consuming a high amount of fat in the diet and reducing the intake of carbohydrates to low levels.
- Not all fats are created equal for your information but the type found in MCT oil is the sort your body uses for fuel.
