CCTG is valued as a natural alternative to synthetic chemicals found in topical skin products. Companies which claim that their products are “all natural” or “organic” usually contain CCTG (also known as MCT Oil). It creates a barrier on the skin’s surface, which helps reduce skin dryness by reducing loss of moisture. The oily texture helps to thicken and provides a slipperiness, which helps make lotions and natural strength deodorants easy to apply and leaves a non-greasy after-touch. It functions as an emollient, dispersing agent, carrier or base, & also has anti-oxidant properties.
These ketone bodies can be used for energy. People use MCTs for involuntary weight loss called cachexia or wasting syndrome. MCTs are also used for obesity, seizures, athletic performance, Alzheimer disease, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these other uses.
