Medium Chain Triglycerides may trigger side effects that include diarrhea, nausea, gas, stomach upset and vomiting. MCts can interfere with cholesterol-lowering statin drugs. It may lead to the excessive buildup of ketones in the body if consumed regularly. This may prove harmful for diabetic people, triggering potentially life-threatening ketoacidosis. (2)

Description
Medium Chain Triglycerides are triglycerides with two or three fatty acids comprising 6–12 carbon atoms. The three richest sources of MCTs include, coconut oil, palm kernel oil, and coconut milk. MCTs are generally extracted from coconut and palm kernel oils in the laboratory, for commercial extraction. MCTs are a naturally occurring source of dietary fats but are partially man-made fats and their name refers to the way the carbon atoms are arranged in their chemical structure. As MCTs are saturated fats, they are not oxidised and thus considered beneficial for general health and athletes.
