Could be a good energy source

Long-chain triglycerides (LCTs), which have more carbons in their fatty acid chains, are absorbed by the body more slowly than MCTs. MCTs, move from the gut to the liver more quickly than longer-chain fats because of their shorter chains, which also means they don't need bile to break down. The liver breaks down lipids so they can either be used as fuel or stored as body fat. MCTs are a quick source of energy since they can enter your cells without being metabolized.

MCTs can also be turned by the liver into ketones while you're following a ketogenic diet. These ketones can cross the blood-brain barrier, supplying your brain cells with energy. MCT oil is easily absorbed and transported throughout the body. It can be used as an instant source of energy or can be converted into ketones.
