What does it do?

Medium-chain triglycerides are a type of fat, consisting of triglycerides with medium-length fatty acid chains. In pharmaceuticals, they are primarily included in intravenous nutrition solutions to provide rapid energy and nutritional supplementation to patients.

Medium-chain triglycerides are quickly digested and absorbed, and are rapidly broken down in the liver to be converted into energy. This makes them a rapid source of energy in the body, assisting in the recovery of patients with poor nutritional status.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Unlike common long-chain fatty acids, medium-chain triglycerides are absorbed and metabolized quickly without the aid of bile acids. This makes them an effective source of energy for patients with compromised digestive function.
