A member asked:
Wondering what is medium chain triglyceride oil ( coconut and palm sourced ). any concern , dosage limit or review on this ingredient please. thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually safe: Although medium chain triglycerides are likely safe for most people, they may trigger certain side effects (such as nausea, stomach upset, gas, diarrhea, and vomiting). Also, regular intake of medium chain triglycerides may lead to the buildup of ketones (compounds produced when the body burns fat for energy) that can be harmful to people with diabetes and liver disease.
