Summary
This study tested a dietary supplement made from medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), a type of fat found in coconut oil, in 43 people with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease or a related language disorder. The main goal was to see if the supplement was safe and tolerable, and to measure how it affected ketone levels in the blood. Researchers also explored whether it might improve brain function, but the study was too small to draw firm conclusions.
