Biohacking & HealthSpan

Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT Oil) have dramatically gained in popularity in Australia.

MCTs are a subset of saturated fatty acids that, when used appropriately, have unique biological effects ranging from enhanced cognitive performance to accelerated weight loss.

In this post, we answer your most frequently asked questions about medium chain triglycerides.

Biohacking implies optimization of the human body. However, it is more than just about physical health. Lifestyle changes and simple activities can help improve the mental side of our state.

A more holistic approach to human health is what makes biohacking such an appealing movement. Many activities that are considered biohacking are easily pursued without much or any investment at all.

Here are 3 simple biohacking tips that can be used on an everyday basis to enhance the fundamental aspects of our life such as focus, memory and mood with little to no investment.

Brett Melanson, a PhD Candidate in Behavioural Neuroscience, describes how exogenous ketone supplementation, precisely in the form of ketone esters, can enhance performance and possibly reduce anxiety-like state. Combining ketone esters with ketone-salts or MCTs may also enhance motor performance. The addition of keto esters to a ketogenic diet may also provide benefit in reducing the long-term elevations in lipid and cholesterol that can arise from a persistent ketogenic diet alone.

Nowadays, the idea of ketone ester diet has already been utilised by nutritional companies like Ketone Aid, which received positive feedback from athletes claiming a boost to their typical performance compared to training without the ketone ester supplementation.
