Many people have problem of insulin production when them become old so that its body find difficulties to obtain energy from carbohydrate. Glucose which do not or not yet been exploited for energy turned into triglyceride and circularized to entire body.
Trigliceride and lipoprotein have to penetrate cell wall so that can be used to become energy, and both also require enzyme to be able to penetrate membrane of mitokondria in cell, place of energy yielded.
But, MCFA have the unique, that is that it does not require enzyme to penetrate wall of mitokondria so that can yield energy swiftly and efficient. That is why there are people tell, consuming MCFA look like by fueling vehicle with high octan.
Because of easy MCFA permeated into cell then into mitokondria, metabolism even also mount. Addition of energy yielded by that metabolism yield stimulation effect in all our body.
Beside improve our energy level, there is other benefit along with make-up of that metabolism for example, make-up of endurance to disease and acceleration of disease healing. With make-up of metabolism, our cells work more efficient.
