The LipiX© MCT Bar is not just another energy bar. It is a super MCT Bar that uses a proprietary patent-pending formula that provides medium chain triglycerides (7- grams), Protein (16 grams), Fiber (13 grams) and vegetarian omega. The bar is unique because the concept is a low sugar, high fat and high protein food based on a vast amount of research that shows excess carbohydrate consumption in our diet is central to many of chronic health issues.
MCT:
Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) 1 are saturated fats found in human breast milk, coconut oil and palm oils. MCTs are very safe and energy rich fatty acids that are easily metabolized. It has been used as a dietary oil for over one hundred years. MCTs possess a unique biochemical quality in that they are not absorbed or transported like Long Chain fatty acids in the human diet. MCTs are from 6-12 carbons in length. The most common fatty acid (palmitic acid) in the human diet is 16 carbons in length. MCTs passively diffuse into the GI tract while Long Chain fatty acids and other fat-soluble nutrients require carrier enzymes. In the cell, MCTs passively diffuse into energy production cycles from fats by a process known as beta-oxidation. Please research the web for MCTs

The most common fatty acid (palmitic acid) in the human diet is 16 carbons in length. MCTs passively diffuse into the GI tract while Long Chain fatty acids and other fat-soluble nutrients require facilitated uptake in the GI tract. In the cell, MCTs passively diffuse into the mitochondria where fats enter the pathway known as beta-oxidation.
Algal DHA:
DHA omega-3 is found naturally throughout the body and is most abundant in the brain and eyes. Just as calcium is essential for building strong bones, DHA ensures that the cells in the brain, retina, and other parts of the nervous system develop and function properly through all stages of life. DHA in our LipiX Bar is from algae, the only vegetarian source of DHA.
Protein:
LipiX MCT Bars have whey protein that is from milk and used by body builders to enhance muscle. High protein in the diet is known for reducing appetite by increasing satiety 2
Patents:
Our LipiX© MCT Bar is protected by existing and pending patents. You won’t find a competitive bar that matches the benefits provided by the LipiX© MCT Bar.

Note: When first adding medium chain triglycerides to a diet, some consumers may experience mild gastric distress.

If only consuming a partial amount of an opened bar, please refrigerate the unused portion.
LipiX© MCT BARS Quantity Options
When considering the best quantity and frequency for you, keep in mind that the ketone increase accomplished by consuming MCT last no more than four hours 1
Consuming more than three (3) bars per day is not recommended.
KETONE INFORMATION
Ketones (beta-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate, and acetone) are mainstays in the human circulatory system and are formed by the liver from fatty acids 2. While glucose is the brain's primary energy source, in nutritional or metabolic situations when glucose is not available, the brain will readily use ketones if available 3. There is growing evidence that with age, brain cells become unable to successfully metabolize glucose for fuel, yet the cells always retain the ability to utilize ketones. 4-5 Because it is concentrated with MCTs, LipiX© MCT bars raise ketone levels with many fewer calories than needed if using pure coconut oil 6.
PRODUCT SUGGESTIONS

These bars are delicious, chocolate chip cookie dough and chocolate brownie are my favorite s. I usually take them to work because they are portable and easy to eat, which is important when I only get one 30 min lunch break over a 9 hour shift. I get hungry more often than that! They're also great to tame my sweet tooth when I'm having cravings, I'll usually have half a bar. The only negative is that they are expensive, in my opinion, but really well worth it, especially when there is a buy 2 get 1 free sale!
