Studies also suggest that MCTs may help
prevent atherosclerosis and cardiovascular
disease, in part by reducing cholesterol levels
and by imparting a slight blood-glucose-
lowering effect.


Finally, MCTs are unique in that they do
not require bile (which is made in the liver
and stored in the gallbladder) for digestion.
This makes them a fantastic fat source if you
have impaired liver function, digestive
malabsorption conditions, or have had your
gallbladder removed.
