DESC: Emulsified Medium-Chain Triglycerides A Quick Acting Highly Concentrated Liquid Energy Source TWINLAB MCT FUEL is a high-octane "human machine oil" containing emulsified medium-chain Triglycerides (MCT's) and emulsified natural vitamin E. MCT's are lipids composed of medium-chain fatty acids. These unique lipids provide more than twice the energy power of carbohydrates and protein, and are less likely to turn into body fat than are long chain fatty acids. MCT's are an alternative energy source which are readily utilizable and can reduce muscle protein breakdown during wound healing or during recovery from burns. These are catabolic conditions where muscle breakdown exceeds muscle growth. Similarly, prolonged, exhaustive exercise and dieting (restricting caloric intake) is also a catabolic state in which muscle protein is being broken down in order to provide metabolic energy. This would suggest that as an alternative energy source, MCT's may benefit some athletes and those athle
