Reduced Lactate Buildup During Exercise

MCT oil may reduce lactate buildup during exercise by promoting fat oxidation, potentially improving endurance and performance. This is achieved through rapid absorption and utilization as an energy source.

Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are metabolized differently than long-chain triglycerides. They are rapidly absorbed and oxidized, providing a quick energy source. Some research suggests that MCT oil supplementation may reduce lactate production during high-intensity exercise by promoting fat oxidation as an energy source, sparing glucose and potentially delaying fatigue. This could lead to improved endurance and overall performance.
