Brain Improvement
The presence of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) helps in building and improving your brain. MCTs may contribute to focus and mental performance according to studies. This fact is proven when coconut oil is broken down by your liver and turned into ketones which later act as an alternative energy source for your brain.
Furthermore, MCTs have been found by several researchers to have essential benefits for brain disorders, including epilepsy and Alzheimer’s. A result as published in the journal Neurobiology of Aging in 2004 shows that the consumption of MCTs has led to an improvement in brain function in patients with milder forms of Alzheimer’s. [2]
