Benefits of NutraBio MCT Powder

For Weight/Fat Loss:

Multiple studies suggest that substituting MCTs for other fats in a healthy diet may support healthy weight and body composition when combined with exercise. This is due to MCTs:

• Lower energy density: MCTs contain 8.4 calories per gram versus 9.2 calories per gram for long chain fatty acids. Substituting MCTs for other fats may create a calorie deficit and lead to small, but significant changes in body weight.
• Thermic effect: When MCTs are combined with carbohydrates and proteins, there is a significant thermogenic effect that leads to more calories being burned and fewer calories being stored as fat, which in turn may help reduce weight/body fat levels.
• Satiating effect: MCTs may increase peptide YY and leptin to a greater extent than long chain fatty acids. These two hormones help reduce appetite and create a feeling of fullness.
• Aversion to being stored as fat: MCTs are less likely to be stored as fat compared to long chain fatty acids due to being more rapidly absorbed and used as energy in the body.
