Justine Stenger Cellular Health Expert on Instagram: "Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are rapidly absorbed and transported to the liver via the portal vein, where they undergo swift β-oxidation and ketone production bypassing carnitine transport and standard mitochondrial entry checkpoints. While this generates quick energy, it disrupts the natural flux through glycolysis and long-chain fat oxidation, both of which are tightly linked to NAD⁺ and FADH₂ cycling. These redox cofactors are essenti
