MCT for the Brain and Heart
Hey Everyone!
Yes, you can take the straight MCT oil, and that is perfectly fine. However, for some people the digestive upset of the straight MCT oil is just too much. The MCT oil Powder is much more gentle on the system. Furthermore, as you will see in the clinical studies below, MCT oil supplements, like ours, has been shown to be extremely effective on age-related memory decline.
The beauty of MCT’s is that they turn into ketones pretty fast. Therefore, you are able to generate ketones as fuel without really having to change your diet. We are going to talk about why this is so important in just a moment.
On top of that, MCT oil bypasses certain digestive processes as compared to other fats. For example, you don’t need bile from the gall bladder in order to help you digest MCT oil. Furthermore, MCT oil doesn’t depend on enzymes or a good part of your digestive system in order to break down and fuel the body.
The MCT oil goes directly into the small intestines. It then gets absorbed into the lymphatics. After that it goes straight into the liver, and it is converted into ketones.
Now, MCT oil will really benefit you the most If you have any heart or brain issues.
For example, the heart’s preferred fuel source is ketones. In cases of congestive heart failure, angina, atrial fibrillation, or other heart-related conditions – especially those affecting the heart muscle itself, ketones from the MCT Oil can bypass the damaged heart cells and feed the heart these ketones directly. This should make your heart extremely happy, and enable it to function better.
Another example, individuals with neurological conditions such as age-related memory decline, epilepsy, or age-related nerve decline may especially benefit from incorporating our MCT oil powder into their routine.
When there is a problem with our focus or memory, that can mean that our neurons are starving for glucose. If you give the brain another fuel source, such as ketones, it will prefer that fuel immensely. Your memory, cognition, clarity, concentration, and your focus may improve drastically.
As seen at the clinical study here, people with mild-to-moderate age-related memory decline saw increased ketone use in their brains when they took 30 grams of MCT supplements daily. Their brains used ketones at a similar rate as healthy young adults taking MCT’s. The MCT increased total brain energy metabolism by increasing ketone supply without affecting brain glucose utilization.
In situations like this involving heart or brain issues, MCT oil should give you more physical energy right away, because ketones would be the preferred fuel of the brain and the heart. Your mood should also improve, because your brain is happier.
Here are a few more clinical studies that have investigated MCT oil supplements similar to ours, suggesting they may offer meaningful benefits for individuals with age-related memory decline.
At the clinical study here, researchers proposed that 20 to 70 grams of supplemental MCT’s could modestly improve the symptoms of mild to moderate age-related memory decline.
At the study here, they found that taking MCTs for 30 days improved cognition in people with age-related memory decline with a certain gene type, specifically APOE ɛ4-negative.
If that is not enough, A meta-analysis of 12 studies here, indicated that MCTs may promote improved cognition with age-related memory decline.
As you can see, the research on using MCT oil powder for age-related memory decline shows some serious promise.
People absolutely love putting our MCT oil powder in their coffee. This is where the term bullet proof coffee comes from. People take 1 cup of coffee and add 1-2 tablespoons of MCT oil and 1-2 tablespoons of butter. A lot of times people will add turmeric, cinnamon, sea salt, cacao powder or even chili powder to spike it. The chili powder will give it a kick.
Keep in mind that a bullet proof coffee drink like this will give you a reduced appetite. Therefore, you will fast longer in the morning before eating again. You can always do a smaller dosage if that isn’t favorable to you, or even just eliminate the butter.
MCT oil is also associated with a wide range of other potential health benefits. Research suggests it may support healthy blood sugar levels, cholesterol balance, digestive function, gut health, energy production, metabolic wellness, and inflammatory response.
This is one of our specialties.
Thanks everyone for your support!
Sincerely,
Matt
