Ketogenic interventions, including coconut oil and MCT oil, may improve cognitive function in individuals with Alzheimer's disease.

“Dr. Mary Newport kind of saw that and gave her her husband coconut oil and MCT oil and he improved and a case report with Dr. Vich being one of the co-authors on that was published just a ketogenic intervention and they followed that was the longest case report for years followed his progression and stabilization he ended up succumbing to the disease but she got many more years with him you know through ketogenic intervention”

“Medium-chain triglycerides are probably helpful. There is a study that was done using a product that is caprylic triglyceride, which is MCT. At the time it was called AC-1202 by Accera. It was a product that was designed for Alzheimer's disease as an alternative energy substrate that would be given. And the results of the study showed that improvements in mild cognitive impairment were associated with ketones. So there was a correlation with that. But they did not see the correlation people with APOE4, which was kind of interesting.”
