Most of the literature looking at MCTs and mental performance come from elderly or those with a disease, like Alzheimer's disease. Some businesses ran with this initial literature and started marketing it as a nootropic compound for healthy young people.

This week, Casey reviews the first research study to examine whether MCT supplementation in healthy young individuals affects cognitive performance. Check it out if you're curious if your MCT coffee is actually doing anything!
