As we get older, maintaining mental clarity, memory, and focus becomes increasingly important. There’s growing scientific interest in how certain natural ingredients - like medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) - can support brain health, especially in those experiencing mild cognitive decline or memory issues.
At Nature Squared, we believe in the power of simple, science-backed wellness habits to help you feel your best - naturally. That’s why our TURMERIC [blend] includes not just high-potency curcumin, but also MCTs to enhance absorption and bring their own array of exciting health benefits.
What Are MCTs?
MCTs are healthy fats most commonly extracted from coconut oil. Unlike regular dietary fats, MCTs are absorbed quickly by the body and converted into ketones - an alternative fuel source for the brain when glucose (the brain’s usual energy source) isn’t working as efficiently. This makes MCTs particularly interesting in supporting brain energy and function.
The Science: MCTs & Brain Function
Recent studies have shown promising results:
In a 9-month study, older adults with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s who consumed MCTs daily experienced stabilised or improved memory and cognitive scores (Frontiers in Neurology, 2023).
Research suggests that MCTs can improve memory and focus in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), particularly in those without the APOE4 gene, which is linked to increased Alzheimer’s risk.
MCTs have been shown to enhance working memory and may even improve metabolic activity in the brain - offering a potential natural way to support cognitive health (BMC Geriatrics, 2022).
More Than Just Absorption: The Dual Role of MCTs in TURMERIC [blend]
While the primary role of MCTs in our TURMERIC [blend] is to help transport curcumin into the bloodstream - enhancing its bioavailability - the benefits of MCTs don’t stop there. Emerging research shows that MCTs may:
Provide an alternative energy source for the brain, supporting mental clarity and memory.
Help reduce oxidative stress in brain cells.
Support overall cognitive function as part of a balanced, healthy lifestyle.
By including MCTs in our blend, we’re not only helping your body absorb the powerful anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric more effectively, but we’re also contributing to brain health - offering a two-fold benefit in every scoop.
