What Are Triglycerides Powder(TG)

Triglycerides are fats carried in the food we eat. Most of the fats we eat, including butter, margarine and oil, are triglycerides. Excessive calories, alcohol or sugar in the body will be converted into triglycerides and stored in fat cells throughout the body.

Factors leading to high triglycerides:

1. Regular intake of calories is more than calories consumed, especially when you eat a lot of sugar

2. Overweight or obese

3. Smoking

4. Excessive drinking

5. Certain drugs

6. Some genetic diseases

7. Thyroid disease

8. Poorly controlled type 2 diabetes

9. Liver or kidney disease

MCT Powder and Triglycerides Powder:

Medium chain triglycerides (MCT) are part of artificial fats. The name refers to the arrangement of carbon atoms in their chemical structure. MCT is usually made by processing coconut oil and palm kernel oil in a laboratory. In contrast, the usual dietary fats are long-chain triglycerides.

Triglycerides are composed of a glycerol "backbone" and three fatty acids attached to the glycerol backbone, hence the name "triglycerides". In addition, the fatty acids constituting the triglycerides may be monounsaturated, polyunsaturated or saturated. In addition, each type of fat has some combination of monounsaturated, polyunsaturated or saturated fatty acids. However, it is the main fatty acid type that defines each type of fat. For example, olive oil is dominated by monounsaturated fatty acids, soybean oil is dominated by polyunsaturated fatty acids, and butter is dominated by saturated fatty acids.
