Provides
More Energy Power Than Carbohydrates And Protein!
TWINLAB MCT Fuel is a high-octane "human machine oil" containing
emulsified medium-chain triglycerides (MCT's) and emulsified natural
vitamin E.
MCT's are lipids composed of medium-chain fatty acids. These unique
lipids provide more than twice the energy power of carbohydrates and
protein, and are less likely to turn into body fat than are long chain
fatty acids.
MCT's are an alternative energy source which is readily utilizable and
can reduce muscle protein breakdown during wound healing or during
recovery from burns. These are catabolic conditions where muscles
breakdown exceeds muscle growth. Similarly, prolonged, exhaustive
exercise and dieting (restricting caloric intake) is also a catabolic
state in which muscle protein is beining broken down in order to
provide metabolic energy. This would suggest that as an alternative
energy source, MCT's may benefit some athletes and those athletes
restricting carbohydrates and calories in the diet.
TWINLAB MCT Fuel is a revolutionary new emulsified MCT (medium-chain
triglyceride) oil that has been developed for quicker and easier
assimilation and for those people who could never tolerate the taste of
ordinary MCT oil. No chemical emulsifiers are used in MCT Fuel. Only
small amounts of natural lecithin and apple pectin, nature's natural
emulsifiers, are used in its production. MCT Fuel has a delicious, 100%
natural orange flavor. It also does not have the undesirable oily taste
like ordinary MCT oil.
"High-octane" energy boost. Many athletes have become accustomed to
taking carbohydrate drinks to fuel themselves through a workout. But
many bodybuilders follow low-carbohydrate, high-protein diets to
accelerate fat burning and to remove excess fluid from tissues in order
to get ripped with striated and well-defined muscles, ruling out the
use of high carbohydrate drinks. MCT Fuel can be used as a
quick-acting, highly concentrated energy source and alternative to high
carbohydrate energy drinks for those bodybuilders on low-carbohydrate,
high-protein diets.
