What does it do?

Tricaprylin is the glycerol ester of the medium-chain fatty acid caprylic acid and is primarily used in nutritional supplements. It is quickly converted into energy in the body, contributing to improved nutritional status.

Tricaprylin is broken down into medium-chain fatty acids after digestion and is rapidly converted into energy in the liver. This process facilitates the continuous supply of energy in the body, helping to improve nutritional status.
