Capric Triglyceride (Tridecanoin)

Capric Triglyceride (Tridecanoin) structure

Overview​

Capric triglyceride (tridecanoin) is a medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) containing three capric acid (C10) molecules. It is one of the primary components of MCT oil and provides rapid brain energy via ketone production. Capric acid (C10) works synergistically with caprylic acid (C8) in MCT formulations to support brain energy metabolism.

  • Capric triglyceride (C10) is converted to ketones which serve as alternative energy substrate for mitochondria, supporting brain energy metabolism
  • Ketones provide ATP through mitochondrial metabolism, supporting neurotransmitter synthesis and neuronal function
  • Found in: MCT oil, coconut oil
