Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are fats that are rapidly absorbed and converted into energy or ketones—like a quick-burning fuel for your body and brain. Swapping some dietary fat for MCTs can modestly reduce body fat and often helps people following low‑carb or ketogenic plans. Researchers also test MCTs as an alternate brain fuel in cognitive impairment.
