Medium-chain triacylglycerol (MCT) intake enhances plasma EPO concentrations🩸

MCT oil may have substantial benefits for endurance.

Induction of Erythropoietin by dietary Medium-Chain Triacylglycerol in Humans

Background

Medium-chain triacylglycerol (MCT) intake increases circulating ketone body concentrations 🔬

Links between ketone consumption and erythropoietin (EPO) concentrations have also been shown in the literature 📚

But can MCT intake have a similar effect? 🧐
