Description

Medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) have slightly shorter fatty-acid chains than the common fats we eat in our day-to-day diets and this makes them more easily absorbed and utilised by the body. These medium chain fats can be used to create ketones that can fuel the brain and central nervous system, offering an alternative energy source to glucose. Unlike common fats, they are utilised by the body quickly and are much less likely to be stored. MCTs are found in various plants an animal sources, yet Melrose MCT Oils are extracted exclusively from coconuts.

Melrose MCT Energy & Exercise contains Caprylic (C8) and Capric (C10) fatty acids, along with the longer chain Lauric acid (C12) which takes longer to convert, resulting in a longer and sustained energy source. This blend is perfect for athletes looking to increase their stamina during long workouts such as cycling, running and swimming.

Ingredients

100% Medium Chain Triglycerides derived from Coconut Oil (C8, C10, C12)
