MCT - 500ml

MCT (500ml) – Vitafor

Immediate energy and cognitive performance with the purity of coconut.
Do you feel you lack fuel for your workout or that your concentration drops halfway through your workday?

Vitafor's MCT is a food supplement composed exclusively of Medium-Chain Triglycerides, extracted from vegetable oils through a rigorous purification process. Unlike long-chain fats, MCT is rapidly absorbed and transported directly to the liver, where it is converted into immediate energy for the body and brain. This product is a noble fat source, ideal for those following low-carb (Low Carb or Ketogenic) diets or for those looking for an energy source that does not stimulate insulin, maintaining stable physical performance and mental acuity throughout the day.

Purpose

This product serves as a fast and efficient energy source. As an easily digestible fat, MCT is used to boost athletic performance, serving as an alternative fuel to glucose. Furthermore, it aids in weight management by promoting satiety and is often used to optimize cognitive function, as it converts into ketone bodies that effectively fuel the brain. It is also excellent support for individuals with poor absorption of common fats.

Key benefits

• Provides immediate energy for physical performance without the use of sugars.
• Helps maintain satiety, being an ally in weight control strategies.
• Contributes to mental clarity and focus due to the rapid production of ketone bodies.
• Facilitates the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K).
• Lipid source with rapid metabolism, ideal for pre-workout or intermittent fasting protocols.

Product differentials

Recommended for

Individuals who practice physical activity seeking performance, followers of ketogenic or Low Carb diets, and professionals who require support for mental fatigue. It is also indicated for patients who need easily assimilated caloric intake under clinical guidance.

How to take

It is recommended to take 1 tablespoon (approximately 15ml) per day, or as directed by a doctor or nutritionist. It can be consumed plain or added to your preferred beverage or food. It is advisable to start with smaller doses to assess gastric tolerance.

Composition per serving

One 15ml serving provides 14g of total fats, which are 100% composed of Medium-Chain Triglycerides. The product provides approximately 126 kcal per serving, with zero grams of carbohydrates, proteins, or fibers.

Scientific basis and references

Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) have a molecular structure that allows their direct absorption through the intestinal mucosa, passing into the portal vein without the need for bile or pancreatic enzymes for complex digestion. Scientific literature highlights that MCTs are less prone to being stored as body fat compared to LCTs (Long-Chain Triglycerides), due to their rapid oxidation. Studies in neuroscience indicate that the oxidation of MCTs in the liver generates ketone bodies, which cross the blood-brain barrier, serving as an alternative and stable energy source for neurons.
