Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) are healthy fats found in coconut oil. There are four MCTs, ranging from 6 to 12 carbon atoms in length: And they may be the ultimate performance fuel for brainpower and metabolic function.
Performance Lab® MCT supplies only C8/C10: These are the two most effective and beneficial MCTs, possessing several key advantages:
Performance Lab® MCT C8/C10 bioactivities promote several downstream benefits for brain health and metabolic function.
“I mix Performance Lab® MCT oil into my main meals to give me a calorie boost during training camps. It is the cleanest on the market.”– Sophie Alisch, Professional Boxer
MCT brain benefits are mostly attributed to their ability to raise ketones.
Ketones act like your brain's backup battery - the only effective fuel source that can replace glucose in the brain.
Your brain is high maintenance. It only makes up 2% of your body mass but consumes 20%+ of your body's daily energy. Using glucose as its primary fuel source.
But glucose can run low due to:
A brain starved of glucose creates problems with focus, clarity, memory, mood, mental sharpness and even long-range health and function.
That's why ketones play a crucial role in brain energy and brain health. Providing the only alternative energy source for topping up your reserves to power your daily performance.
Performance Lab® MCT energy oil supplies fast, effective brain fuel.
Rapidly metabolized into ketones that can cross the blood brain barrier. Entering brain cells to fuel production of ATP energy that powers all cognition function.
Unlike some MCTs, Performance Lab® C8/C10 MCTs combine with the ketones they raise to:
Performance Lab® MCT energy oil fuels brain cells AND optimizes their mitochondria for energy efficiency. Uniquely supporting day-to-day mental energy and long-range health.
Fact: MCT mitochondria support has also been shown to improve muscle function under high temperature. Suggesting potential physical energy benefits in addition to brain energy.
Ketones are linked with several metabolic benefits. They are raised by ketogenic dieting, strategic fasting, and certain nutrients. Plus, medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs).
Unlike some MCTs, Performance Lab® C8/C10 MCTs combine with the ketones they raise to:
Serve as an energy source in addition to glucose during exercise.
Boost your mind-body energy with just 1 daily tablespoon.
MCT oil is versatile. You can add to your coffee, shakes and smoothies; mix it with dressings, sauces, and soups; or take it straight from the spoon.
Performance Lab® MCT oil is flavor neutral. But its healthy fat properties can enhance the flavor of your food and drink!
Our MCT is ultraclean, so stomach discomfort is unlikely. But digestive intolerance may be improved by taking with food containing protein and fat.
Performance Lab® MCT energy oil is the world's cleanest.
Our C8/C10 MCT oil is made using 100% organic non-GMO coconuts sourced sustainably from the Philippines. Cold-extracted with hexane-free technology and 3X distilled for purity.
