Tricaprylin (Caprylic Triglyceride)Medium-chain triglyceride (MCT)Low Risk
Tricaprylin, also known as caprylic triglyceride, is a medium-chain triglyceride derived from coconut and palm kernel oils, valued for its rapid absorption and conversion into ketones that provide quick energy for the brain and muscles. It supports cognitive function, metabolic health, and gut balance, making it beneficial for mental clarity, weight management, and digestive health. Generally well-tolerated, it should be introduced gradually to minimize mild digestive side effects and used cautiously by individuals with liver conditions or on certain medications.
