A member asked:
I want to know the benefits of mct oil and if its recommended during a keto diet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Supplements: Like for most supplements most physicians don't vouch for safety or efficacy of MCT supplements as they are not studied by government agencies like the FDA. Too much mediumchained triglycerides can lead to harmful fat buildup in the liver. Many physicians don't recommend the keto diet either. See a dietician for personal weight loss advice, your recommended ideal weight and daily calorie intake.
