MCT and super greens – The new energy fuel

The pace of everyday life can sometimes leave us feeling a bit flat and our energy levels can often be the first signs of struggle. Poor energy levels can bring, feelings of low mood, poor cognitive function and difficulty in just achieving the everyday tasks.

NATURALLY BOOSTING OUR ENERGY LEVELS

There are a variety of ways to boost energy and finding what best suits you is the number one step. Medium Chain Triglycerides commonly known as MCT are sourced from coconut oil and act as a natural form of super fuel for the body. MCTs contain medium chain fatty acids so they absorb quicker as they digest within the gut and then travel onto the liver without the normal breakdown time of other types of fatty acids.

This helps to give a quick energy supporting effect, helping you feel well and providing an immediate energy boost into your day.
